Hi All,
Bought Gruntz last week, but been watching it grow since it was a free beta download. I have been steadily growing my 15mm forces over the past few years, so looking forward to trying out these rules!
I am in the Forest of Dean, Glos, UK. A web developer by trade, but also an avid gamer of all types :-).
Nice to meet you all,
Mo

Welcome! Hopefully you were informed about the 'new guy donut policy'. I'm not picky.
What troops have you collected? We need some traffic here. Would you mind posting some picks of your forces?
I'm curious how others are building their forces. Have you created any cards yet? Squinch

Hi Squinch,
At the momment my largest force is Oddzial Osmy NVL (with vehicles from other places).
2x Gruntz (With SAW ad Missile attachments). 2x APC with autocannons (pound shop purchases). 2x Tanks (again pound shop purchase). 2x Medium heavy gear suits. Am going to use them as heavily armoured battlesuits. 2x Light heavy gear suits. Am going to use these as scout battlesuits. 1x NVL lietenenant. 1x GZG Light support vehicle (to use as command vehicle).
Will post up my other forces when I get a chance, as well as some photo's :-)

I have tried writing some troops up, but still need to get my head around the points cost. I wrote up a squad of NI Gruntz (all veteran stats with 2 squad attacments) and they came up as 37 points, then I wrote up a squad of NVL Grunts (all seasoned with 2 squad attachments and less armour) and they came up as 31 points!
Those points costs seem way to high to me and also the difference of 6 points between a squad that on paper look quite different doesn't seem right?
Cheers,
Mo

Hi Mo, Can't wait to see your mini's. Those point values don't seem out of line but it really depends on your selections.
Not sure what average stats you're using but cost can depend alot on your squad size and choice of SA weapons. For a six man squad with SA's I would guess I see anywhere between 25-45 points/squad. I'll start a new post in the Profile Cards section and post up a few examples.
I wouldn't get too hung up on the point values. I decided to establish a base skill ability for squads (shoot-4, Guard-11/12) and then create a few more elite units to add on. When I build forces for games I try to even out side using abilites/capabilites and scenario objectives. I'll even make different cards for the same troop but use different skills and SA weapons. Helps to tune the scenarios or switch from average to elite as needed.
You had a question in another post about the 3pts (base cost) for SA's. I think that is correct, unless changed by errata. I'll double check with the Barracks. Squinch
