What general does Lobsterbacks belong too...

[Ullar rocks 4553]

Hi peoples everyones favorite n00b popping up again, and I'm thinking...

In wave 8 of Militia and wolves do you think the gunmen (obviously Lobsterbacks) will belong to utgar?(but it might offend the British when it comes out three years later when we have 5 MS and 20 Waves) or Some other team?

[Clarissimus]

I don't think a unit described as "Militia" will turn out to be British regulars.

Who knows, maybe they will go to Aquilla?

Right up Einar's alley.

Why not? They used Minute Men to describe the 4th Mass (who weren't militia either and therefore not Minute Men).

So fine, they go to Einar. But how will they be different from the Ashigaru Harquebus? I suppose they could have an extra defense die, and maybe a special ability called "Disciplined Army Bonus." Of course they'd have to cost more, but not much. Just ten points probably.

if you look at them on HMG, you can tell the have red uniforms, thus being britains

I hope they go to Aquilla. A four-figure ranged squad would go a long way toward establishing the new guy.

As far as being different from Ashigaru... well, has anyone even confirmed they're common?

[Tai-Pan]

I would have said Einar in a heartbeat, but he already has muskets in the form of the Ashigaru. I already think that the wolves are going to Aquilla, but I don't think these guys will. They really don't fit with Vydar or Ullar. I don't think they will go with Utgar because the only humans on his side are truly evil (Isamu and Sir Hawthorne). It may offend some of our English friends if we put their side of our little scuffle on the team with all of the evil hell's minions type units. I really don't know. If I had to say, I would go with Einar. But Aquilla is a good possibility, even though she is, so far, more nature themed.

[rdhight]

I don't care who the wolves follow as long as they make Khosumet good. Or at least not awful.

As for the nature theme for Aquilla... that's the problem giving him/her the militia would fix! We already have Ullar, quash that nature theme early!

[scorpiusx]

Einar, they seem to be a perfect fit.

Great minds...

This is a good poll. Personally, I think they will go to Utgar. The lack of humans (almost certainly what they are) in Utgar adds a little bit of shock value to them. Additionally, Einar has simply come out with too many ranged squads lately. Wave six was the samurai archers and wave seven had the harquebus. I just don't see Hasbro giving another squad like this to Einar. The second most likely option I think would be Aquilla, but since Aquilla doesn't appear to be evil, I don't think he'd recruit units that more than likely hate the 4th Mass.

Now that I think about it more, it doesn't make sense for Hasbro to have the redcoats (probably Brits) be associated with Utgar (evil). Maybe Craig and Co. have some bad experience with British people, but I doubt that since most of them are really polite and mild mannered.

Oh well, I still vote Utgar.
