The best units to defend a base or a spice field.

[lowzeewee]

Well then,lets say 3 fremen feds then. :)

[Scy]

The lastanks can sneak behind the minos and hit-and-run them while the kobras kill the feds when the feds "try" to kill the lastanks

~lol!!

who said that i targeting to ur lasertanks, first i will send in a minos to make kobra fire againts them(and my mino too) then the feds can crush any unit(just 3feds can clean the kobras and the same thing with lasertanks) the lasertanks can't get away from feds if they are in group ;)!

and this tactic also can works with a harkonen player if u just put a few airdrones!

Scy, the answer is WRONG, i'm tired of wasting another page explaining you that 3 FEDAYKINS WITH 3 MINOTAURS CAN'T DESTROY 10 KOBRA'S WITH 5 LASERTANKS >:(

Just listen to 'The Ken124578'He has been playing and testing longer than you >:(

3 minos and 3 feds will get made into scrap metal very quickly ;D

[Scy]

yeah i see!!

10sandbikes + mino = mino??no.....i'm not counting unit's i'm just said 10 /= 1

[lowzeewee]

5000 minos[since u r not counting number of units] can own 10 sandbikes?Yeah! ;D

He's right, whatever tactic you use, its virtually impossible.

[lowzeewee]

Yes its true ;).

[NetWerx1]

First, five lasers will own the minos without much trouble. Even if you do manage to get some lasers with your feds, the kobras will own them in the end. If you try to be sneaky and hit the kobra at close range, they could undeploy and run the feds over due to their large crush radius ;D. Heck, five lasers could take on three mino and three feds. Take out the minos first, and then do hit and run on the feds :D.

Hint hint, a kobra is stronger than a mino. You're asking for death if you make 3 mino attack 10! Kobra. They could beat them undeployed. You should watch some clips and see how 1 laser owns 1 fed. Furthermore, a laser tank can escape a fed's shot.

Well if I actually need to defend my spice fields then I tend to use a mix of sard elites and anti-heavy armour units such as an assault tank or 2.

[lowzeewee]

Do not use too buzzsaws as their saw actually destroys the spice on the ground they move on >:(

Use sard elites and feds? ::) And kobras for support

[ken124578]

Just an offtopic comment.

My tactics usually require the least amount of casualties with the best efficiency in that situation and what is going to happen after you've finished it (occupying his spicefield for example, or marching on to his base)

Try to copy me since it is IMO the best way to help people.

[lowzeewee]

Another offtopic comment

Ken,how long have u been actually testing and trying out yr tactics ???

>> began playing emperor in november 2001.

[Apollyon]

lol

anyway my revised spice field protection tactic:

sard elites, fremen warriors and assault tanks (if hark)

[lowzeewee]

And if atr,then minos maybe?But never use sonic tanks at the back :D

[Apollyon]

If ATR I'd use kindjal, some geese, fremen snipers and some Airdrones. But the geese could be replaced by minos if you wanted.

[ken124578]

I would add a bunch of sardaukar elites into that group, don't tell me why, they come in handy when you're being attacked ;)

[Apollyon]

I was just trying to keep it simpler.

But yeah one can never have to many sard elites :)

[lowzeewee]

Just have fremen,feds and long range support

[Devastator_Mech]

Fred's and long range support? No, thats not a good combination. Most long ranged support units have splash damage, and that sometime hurt your own Fredaykins and since they're a delicated unit, they really shouldn't be there.

I suggest Sardaukar and Sard Elites with long range support unit add some aerial AA units like air-drones would be good, but its of an choice than a must since you have the elites.

The long range support unit will take care of other long ranged units like mortar infantries or vehicles.

Say your's is a mino and opponent is kobra, let mino take the damage and rush the sard's to finish them off quickly.

The sard's will take care of infantries and vehicle which survived the salvo of the long ranged unit and the elites will take care vehicles which survived the salvo of the long ranged unit and aerial units like gunships.

[lowzeewee]

Can't you just use light infantry and some sandbikes?Isn't that easier?Then after you manage to get more money,then purchase some minos and mongeese

[Devastator_Mech]

Its mpossible with only light infantries and bikes, because none is anti-vehicle and effective against structure.

[Apollyon]

You have to build 4 bikes then 1 mongoose continuously. Then sit outside killing spice with the geese.

[lowzeewee]

And put the rally point at the spicefield ;)
