The Commander Series Forum

Any views on what qualifies a unit as massive? I've got a few battletech mechs, and I want to use them with my Pax Arcadians against my Andrayans.

Something like a Black Hawk is bigger than a Velite or Verger walker, but smaller than a Malignant massive walker.

I know it is ultimatley down to me, but has anyone else given it some thought?

Nik and others may correct me on this, but I believe that the guideline for which units are massive in FWC reads as follows:

"Vehicle units are considered to be 'massive' in Future War Commander to the degree in which such a definition would support and not violate the Rule of Cool."

For a further discussion of the Rule of Cool and its ramifications, please go to:
