"U.S. Force Choices in Force on Force" Topic

In the Force on Force rulebook, lists are provided for three U.S. forces: Marines, Army, and Stryker Brigade. Which would you be most likely to field?

* Marines
* Army
* Army: Stryker Brigade
* other
* not interested in U.S. forces for Force on Force
* not playing Force on Force

Having been Army, William, I would probably do Army or Army/Stryker.

Ahhh, Stryker….

That's the sound they make when they crash on RT 322 north of Harrisburg or, most recently, into a Punxatawney Phil sign in Punxy.

I'd play Bad Guys just to blow one up.

But, were I to choose, it would have to be USMC.

As my now retired Supply Sergeant (and former Vietnam Marine) told me when I was a Cav Squadron S-4, "There's Strong, then there's Army Strong. Thank God we've still got the Marines."

Marines as first choice, or Stryker.

Definitely Stryker Brigade for me

For the Invasion USMC or UK.
For Falujja 2 USMC or ARMY
For 2006 and Beyond US Army
The only dif In the US lists is a IFV based Platoon which does not get a weapons squad as the Brads fufill that roll.
The AB,Strait leg and stryker are basicaly the same.
Using the Infantry Platoon as a base with it having a 4 man Hqs x3 9 man rifle squads with 1 Squad leader x3 9 Man squads each with 2 4 man fire teams and a SL..a weapons squad of 2 MMG with team bonus.
You just plug in Humwvs,strykers,IFV,MRAPS or Banana Boats for transport….

Stryker

USMC all the way

USMC for me.
Thats what I built for Ambush Alley, when it first came out.
The nice thing about 15mm is I can also build a US Army and Styker brigade as well
And some Brits:-)

Statistically Marines.

Right now I can do reg Army inf, Ranger units, or Bradley mounted. I would LOVE to do a Stryker unit but no one makes the vehicles I need in 15mm.

Marines for me. My other western forces include british, germans, and french.

Marines. Both US and UK. Have the whole globe covered that way.

Marines.

Army, having been in that branch

I play all and others

other – I play scenarios.

USAF – carpet bomb the s then send in the ground pounders to clean up the mess.

Well, I *have* a Stryker platoon, which also doubles as a leg platoon if I leave the Strykers in the box.

Should probably add Royal Marines at some point, just for some different support options.

Stryker platoon without any of the Stryker vehicles organic to the company, i.e just the ICV with a .50 can be done with the QRF Stryker.

However the ICVs almost never work alone and you can't field the support they need (nor have 2 with .50 and 2 with MK19), you can't go to higher than platoon level in 15mm.

And that is a shame.

Wait, wait, I'm getting there….

All, but currently looking to build an Army Ranger unit.

Geoff, That is a good thing, but I've been waiting (more or less) paitently for about 5 years…

Marines, but would like a Stryker force. Or some LAVs for that matter!

I have Rangers, Delta and Marines (for Mogadishu/Somalia in general).

Rangers lead the way! I'm also currently working on a Stryker troop in 20mm to assist my Rangers and ADF should some high level actions be needed.
I've worked with Marines, I'm pretty happy leaving them off my table.

Sorry, I went for the West Germans in "Cold War Gone Hot".
