  |
|
There are several lance types that I am aware of.
Scout, recon, strike, fire, support, assault, HQ, scout hunter, light, medium, heavy, urban, defensive, etc...
Any other types I may have missed?
I am wondering so as I can make a small database on the mechs and vehicles I think go into these lances so I can make my own unit composition tables for quick roll encounter tables.
Also if you have a preferance for a lance composition let me know it may be something I haven't thought of yet, or haven't thought to put into that certain group.
Like a medium urban lance could be:
Urbanmech
Urbanmech
Hatchetman
Hunchback

The only one that I can see that is missing by name is pursuit lance. But that can be seen as recon hunter or strike type lance.
But I see only 2 things that need to be taken into account, weight class and function. Function has only the following before it becomes reduntant, Commmand (nothing usally special except AA and electronics capability, Scout, Fire (means lots of long range firepower) Line (standard well rounded 4/6 type lance), Strike (your hammer units).
You are really going to work at this hard. But if you really really want to impress us, do it based on technology levels and house.
AWAD- Just do it random roll, nothing like Hunchback in a recon lance

I have this unfortunate tendancy to do things the hard way. That's why I posted this thread, to get input back from others who might have better ideas on how to do this than I do.

I might just try that lance out in a campaign I'm going to GM. That looks like a nice little urban combat group.

In 3025, most lances are cobbled together anyway, so there's no reason they all have to fit into some specific category.

I should probably keep my mouth shut, since I will most likely bear the brunt of these units. Besides that I will see you tomorrow afternoon for my weekly humility lesson.

Lance designations also depend on who commands the forces. One man's Fire lance is the next's Command lance. And some commanders just use the lance leaders' names for the lances...
I stick with these types:
Assault - duh
Battle - the real sluggers, medium or heavy
Command - guess
Fast attack - speed with some punch, lights or medium
Fire support - long-range stuff, mostly
Scout - the fastest light lances I can get
