>Infantry are more effective against the clans

[@KageRyuu6]

Vehicles, particularly with Inferno SRMs are a god send for roasting toads.

If you treat older standard Elemental Battle Armor as slow short range homing land mines, it gets you in the right mindset to use them. I agree that they are better in an anti-infantry role as these early suits lack firepower and the leg/swarm attacks, while terrifying in fiction, aren't good with the current rules unless your target is already down. Reverse slope deployment also really works well with them. Make use of that Level 1 elevation to block LOS and then get the jump on your opponent.

Karnov (BA transport) is a great ride (8 ton infantry bay) for any infantry with jump movement. Maxim APC (infantry variant) is a friggin bus (12 ton infantry bay). One flies , the other hovers.

Battle Armour are incredibly useful whether Clan Elementals or Inner Sphere Standard (or one of its variants.) Especially if the enemy use conventional infantry or opposing battle armour.

I would want the different elemantal types like from the hells horses.

Starting using WOB Djinns. Anti Mech knee capping tactics has certainly caught some ire from some other players in my group. One individual knows BA a little and sped a jenner 4 hexes away for these little blighters to get at it. Needs 8+, 2 crits, limping falling over drunk jenner. Practically out of the fight. Other mechs started backing away real fast and unloading as 2 bases started to move in. At that point they were enough of a distraction for my 2 other celestials to cause some damage to the win condition.

Can an OmniMech jump with mounted (friendly) Elementals?

[@Magermh]

The best transport for a point of Elementals is going to be an Omnimech. Secondary transports would be vehicles like the Tyr Infantry Support Vehicle. As part of a binary I would support a player that has a star of Elementals. In batreps I have seen a star of Elementals and Tyr vehicles own a company of mechs in Alpha Strike.

Firemoth D. Nova or Summon can be decent too.

[@arrgylerawrgyle3784]
