 Post subject: Best numbers for an IG army?

Looking over my Joe's this weekend, I realize I have a very small army for Destro.

11 IG's
6 TARGATS v1
1 TARGAT v2
1 Darklon
4 Ferrets
8 Annhilators
7 Undertows.

Is this a good sized army?

What should I add to increase the overall size? What is the IG size in relation to Cobra's?

Thanks

I never cared for the IG as a seperate faction

That boggles me. Why did you not like them? I thought they had some of the finest weapons at the time.

I think you have too many of the "LASER BLAST" Destro Troops like Annihilators, undertows, and Targats.

You need to set yourself an Army Building Number...2's, 3's 5's, 10's? How many of any one army builder do you want....and once you've fixed your variable for buildng armies...it's just buying multiples in that number.

I myself like multiples of 3

Hmmm 3 is a good number, I myself was going to make a few of my troops unmasked. With pesonalities.

Thanks for the opinion Nova.

Dosn't that defeat the purpose of an "Army Builder"?

My army builds are 8-12 on troops like the IG. (Also Vipers, Eels, Snow-Serps, Tele-Vipers)

I have 3 Annihilators, 3 I. Anvils, 2 different Targats, 2 Ferrets, 1 Darklon (and an LBC Metal-Head). I think that's it for IG.

Feel pretty good about that.

(edited because forgot about the I. Anvils)

You will also need to visit Marauderinc for new guns...The Uzi that comes with the IG is ridiculously absurd. your standard IG can keep his sword and little red gun...but needs a new main gun.

Targat is OK as is.
Annihilator is OK as is
Undertow needs a gun.
Ferrets don't need a gun...but its nice to give them somthing
I like having 2 ferrets per Demon and 1 IG
so you have 3 Demons with 6 ferrets and 2 IGs to make even ranks of 3.

I suppose it "could".

But by what my statement was reflecting, I meant like unmasked rankings. My divisions are labeled by number.

So a TARGAT with a Salvo head may be knowÑ as a Capt. 02.

So in a retrospect, I army build but adapt troops as ranks.

What do you have for IG vehicles?

What is your Cobra Army size?

In my joeverse, IG's are the elite of the elite in mercs. So their numbers would equal about a 1/4 of your cobra's standing army.

Also you need to take into consideration of how many vehicles you do have, and you want to have enough troops to man all of the posts on each said vehicle.
