Tuesday Review – Operation Cyclone Walkers

So today I am discussing the Lothar, the Mickey, and the Steel Rain. Each of these are the new artillery for Operation Cyclone.

Lothar
Pros:
Is an artillery walker
Can indirect fire
Does a devastating damage to both units and infantry
Cons:
Needs a unit with artillery strike ability to do indirect fire
Has a minimum range but has MG 44

Steel Rain
Pros:
Is an artillery walker
Can indirect fire
Does a devastating damage to both units and infantry
Can shoot the Missiles and can do a one shot at 12/1 to either tanks or units.
Cons:
Needs to reload
One dice for anti tank
Needs a unit with artillery strike ability to do indirect fire
Cannot Jump
Has unlimited range only on missiles
Has a minimum range but has .30cal MG
Limited Missiles

I plan on making the extra card they should have added to the Axis with the Luther that Sigrid uses but less armored that they have on dust models website.

Mickey doesn´t need to reload! And have a great ability: fast! Is the only walker in the game which has fast+jump... those abilities together are awesome! And has Self Repair!!! About the guns:
- 75 mm Howitzer : distance 5, and 2/+ against ifantry, it works like the flame trower, but the Howitzer does 2 dice per miniature, instead of the only 1 dice of the flame trower.
- .50 cal MG distance 6
- .30 cal MG distance 4

Those all unlimited

I THINK WE ARE IN FRONT OF THE BEST WALKER UP TO NOW... IS THE FASTER AND MOST VERSATILE!!!
