Dystopian Wars / To Robot or not to Robot?
« on: February 15, 2018, 12:22:55 pm »
With the info that the DW ground combat will be a different game, do folks feel like there's any place for walking robots in the Naval game? (Rules and niftiness aside)
I love my Metzgers, but I always feel weird fielding the waterline shoulders-up base. Like anything that big or bigger on the water should just be a boat or airship, and walkers should only be in shallow water/land conflicts.
I mean, if I'm up to my shoulders in the ocean, and there's a riptide, I'm not stable enough to fire a gun. A robot should be little different - it masses more, but then so does the water and force of current pushing on it.
