Hussar – Finally Some Long Range

hussarRed Blok is a very short range army. Aside from the Medium AT Cannon of the Hetman and the AT Gauss of the Dragonov Kommandos there are no other long range AT weapons available to Red Blok. Unfortunately these weapons are both 1 damage making it very difficult for Red Blok to down type 2 AFVs from range.

The Hussar fills this gap in the Red Blok’s arsenal while still staying true to the Red Blok’s style. With a missile launcher that fires 2 missiles that hit on a 4+ with a strength of 14 that ignores cover, this AFV has a damage potential of 4 from anywhere on the board. Its Medium Rocket Launcher must still get in close to be effective though. This keeps the Hussar in line with red blok’s style of rush the enemy and overwhelm them with firepower.

More importantly the Missiles are capable of damaging type 3 AFV’s, something the strength 12 Medium Rockets need 6’s to achieve. If you are facing an opponent that keeps their afv’s at long range the hussar gives the Red Blok the ability to hit key threats like UNA Snakes and Karman Jungle buggies before they lay waste to your expensive armour.

This AFV isn’t going to replace the Hetman or even the Kossak, but covers a large hole in the Red Blok’s armour; long range AT firepower.
