Hmmm... On page 40 of Armored Might 1.5v pdf for Active Phase Array is says: 'Requiring a Special Action to activate each turn, SA: APA-equipped models provide this enhanced targeting data to any friendly model in their squad.' Has this been updated to include the entire force now?
Good advice about the squad sizes, I will keep that in mind. I have no doubt that the tournament scene brings out some rather spicy force lists. I enjoy tournaments because I always learn something new about force building and strategy. Something I would love to build up here in Perth, Australia.
A good screening unit for IDF squads could be the Crusader? The miniature looks pretty cool so I had a peek at the stats and this looks like it can hit pretty hard, although with an almost certain weapon cool down afterwards.
Had a look at the Outlaw as you suggested and am reminded once again that I regret not backing the vehicles too, although in my defense at the time I was more excited by CAV miniatures. With armour of 3 it is very brittle, but those abilities and weapons have some range to them which is nice. I could find room to have one or twelve in my collection considering you do get a pair per blister. But, how viable is an all vehicle force, assuming a standard playing field of some hills and woods, etc?
