Mino Hoard

[XCH]

What is the easiest way to destroy this army with one house and without using Minos?

5 Minos

7 Mongoose

30 Infantry

3 Repair

15 Kindjal

I think the cost is $18750

[IxianMace]

If they're on sand, use Fremen worm riders and move through the entire group. :D

[Anathema]

Use stealth units like the fremen warrior. Move them close to the enemy formation, and when they see it they will fire at it and kill many of their own units in the process.

[slaphapy]

yes, if they are on sand, then obviously 2 worms would be more than enough to kill them all muahahhah ..gag...cough cough

ahem, ok if you are hark you could use 15 or so gunships, and follow up with like 10 or so buz, and that's about it, just make sure you kill the mongooses first with the planes then minos

[ken124578]

Devastator drop is the most rewarding one, it's funny to see more then 8 minotaurs being owned by 1 little devastator with an advanced carry all.

[slaphapy]

i don't think one devistator would make it with those mongooses there

[ken124578]

I thought he meant minotaurs alone, well.

Harkonen: first thing you need to do is get a catapult and get rid of those nasty kindjalls, next thing to do is take a sardaukar elite and let it atract their fire (if you've done it right the sardaukar elite will only be scratched) then you should take some missile tank and take out some mongooses, don't bother taking out the minotaurs and repair vehicles yet, repeat this process untill there are only the repair vehicles and the minotaurs left.

Next thing to do is drop some devastators next to them and boom >:D but you can always continue to hit 'n run with missile tanks if you want.

[firefly]

According to emprworm, one of the most amusing means is available to the Ordos, and for it you will need:

• one Deviator;
• 3-6 dustscouts;
• 4-6 Fremen warriors;
• 2-4 scouts

The idea, as explained on his site is to use the dustscouts or Fremen to draw fire, then have the Deviator 'persuade' a handy Minotaurus. Rinse and repeat as needed; remember to keep two of the Fremen and your scouts near the Deviator to ward off fedaykin surprises.

[ken124578]

The only thing that's wrong in this situation is that mongooses can and will slow down/destroy the deviator, even without the minotaurs and kindjal (since i believe that he's sacrafising something for a deviated unit) mongooses have a much faster ROF then minotaurs or kindjals.

[XCH]

I think I have figured it out:

Run fremen warriors in to kill the kindjal and damage other units.

Attack with laser tanks using hit and run, so none of them get killed.

[slaphapy]

i've done that... but actually with enough fremen you could take out that whole army...

if say, you got about 8 fremen warriors, and used them wisely to take out all the kindjal and as many infantry as you can... then take 3 fremen feds and position them as close as possible next to 2 minos in a row.. like one sitting right next to the other and your fremen are 180 degrees from the mino on the other side of the one they are next to(does that make any sense?) anyway, then you tell the feds to target the mino that is 180 degrees from them and they should kill both the minos... repeat this and it will work easy if you take out as many minos as you can at once... also as mentioned before, if they are on sand, the easiest way to take them out only takes like 2 fremen fedykin riding worms.. (maybe more if you want to be sure) and then that's about it for that army ;D

[ken124578]

No matter how wisely you use them, a mino+kindjal+mongoose HORDE cannot be destroyed by 8 warriors and 3 fedaykins.

Here's why: the minotaur has more range then the warrior/fedaykin, the minotaur kills a warrior/fedaykin in 1 round, the fremen are out numbered.

Ordos:

u can deploy few kobra then guard them by few laser tanks!

Harkonen:

use few scouts to make a mino fire, then crush all mangoose units by feds, strike those minos by gunships or ADP.

Arteides:

u may use harvester! ;D

[ken124578]

Ordos:

Nope, kindjalls take out the lasers, or the mongoose, and the minotaurs take out the kobra's (depend on the number of kobra's though)

Harkonen:

use few scouts to make a mino fire, then crush all mangoose units by feds, strike those minos by gunships or ADP.

rrrrrrrright, 30 minotaurs wont fire at once by 1 puny scout.

Arteides:

u may use harvester! ;D

bah.

[IxianMace]

In this case, there are only 5 Minotauruses. 1 scout could draw enough fire for some Fedaykin to do some serious damage while the Minotauruses are reloading. The infantry can easily be picked off by Fremen Warriors during this time as well.

[ken124578]

5 Minos

7 Mongoose

30 Infantry

3 Repair

15 Kindjal

Hmm... must've mistaken 30 infantry with 30 minotaurs, in that care it's very easy to destroy the group.

[Scy]

Ten Gunships can do the mission!

[ken124578]

ahum cough cough, no, they'll be shot down by the mongooses, and you'll have some difficulties destroying them too because there are some repair vehicles.

[Scy]

cough couuuuuuuuuuuuuugh!!

gunship missiles can destroy mangoose quickly and repair too!

tow gunship can destroy mangoose, so how to repair destroyed units??!

[ken124578]

A. you select your group of gunships and click on a mongoose, wasting something like 3/7 missiles (Already know how good you are scy)

While you've destroyed 1 mongoose the others are still hammering on your gunships, you've lost at least 2 gunships before you've destroyed 1 mongoose, if he uses his mongooses correctly.

The surviving gunships will eventually run out of missiles and are easily picked off if they hang around for awhile.

btw. picking on the repair vehicles will just cost you another gunship or two.

[lawndart2002]

Minos in mass takes a while to build, so use quicker building units in mass

1-they dont take much money

2-they're quick

3-unless they have vehicles, simple infantry can be key to victory

[ken124578]

Warriors... ::)

Yes i know that i'm getting a bit annoying.

[lawndart2002]

??

what do you mean?

[XCH]

He means that Fremen Warriors can easily pick off your infantry.

[DukeLeto]

Unless your enemy forgets to put them in "Guard mode". :P
