Bring mechs. The best attackers are ALWAYS mechs. LRMs are good if you are going to have a long line of sight. For shorter LOS take things armed with SRMs. Always keep a unit or two on hand to deal with inf.

get some lrm-jeeps, lrm carriers, and a lance to comp of well trained light mechs and ur good to go. It would not hurt if you a TWAC for its sensors and point def weapons.

2 LRM carries and 10 skuklers is 13 units. Attack forces are best if they're 12 or 36 units.
personally I like Goblins, Cockatrices, and otehr long-range cheap vehicles.
I can't afford alot of mechs

it's always good to have mechs for their sheer endurance and far cheaper drop costs in terms of combat power.
Overland especially, vehicles are better for sheer cost-to-effectiveness, by far, however.

I reccomend packing a Longblade or two in a compny to clear out those wandering infantry platoons.
I'm finding Packrats to be useful vehicles recently, as they aren't too expensive. Nice bit of quick, short ranged firepower with enough armour to take a couple of hits before exploding.

Bring Mechs to soak up damage and act as the point guard. Mechs very rarely crit, but if you flick a Vehicle it will explode. I like the Pegasus Scout Hover Tanks. Reasonably cheap, very fast, decent armor, and they pack a punch. Every hit causes a critical though.

alrite well thanks for the feedback everyone i will take this all into consideration. the reason i ask is my only empire was recently taken out so i have started up another few with the main idea of taking out my attacker. i have done a little research and found out he is a leecher. he has come from south of me and i have managed to find his upper extreme. i am thinking that if i establish a landing zone nearby this area i can attack all the way down his empire. with a bit of help from a friend i think i should be able to defeat his army, destroy his empire, and boost a large morale bonus because of this. it will still take a while and quite a few more funds but i think with a bit of luck i can do it

A leecher? Who is this invader and roughly what level is he so that I may know who to guard against?

yes i most certainly do remember the empire name since i have it written down. i would consider a leecher to be someone who never builds anything but only attacks for it. Basically a empire who's only purpose is to seek and destroy. for some reason when i log on it still comes up on a zone that has been captured and nothing has been built there at all. that is why i consider him to be a leecher. i will not give out his coords since i wouldnt want anyone to get to him before i could

calling him a leacher is stupid, nevs a war game he has a right to play how he wants just like infra farmers do.
Also fighting is fun i have empires built for the only purpose is arena/LW, maybe thats what he's doing.
