Squad Leader Archive

Well, I'm a M.SL and M.Carbs with BH 0,0,0,4 thrown in. I'm using this as my FS XP grind, this way i can get 1.2 mill XP on pistols with M.SL, same on rifles with BH and same with Carbines on M.Carb.

I've got a nice ADK'd E5, and I can really lay down some damage while assisting others. Unfortunately, I'm also a tank with the amount of damage i can do (think base DPS is 350 ish on my E5)

I've dabbled with Pistoleer in the past, but not rifleman. So for me, I'd say, go M.SL, M.Carbs, that way, you can really do a fair amount of damage, get ready to double as a tank also.

I use leg shot, and charge shot (KD) alot, along with crippling shot?? (the snare that carbineers have) and thats mainly what I do besides the default attack.

You can get really good E5's if you keep your eyes open, and with the M.SL and M.Carb, you can still do reasonable damage with an initimidator Pistol also.

Just my random, totally unorganized thoughts, hope they help.

Well it seems in your situation since u like to stand back a bit I think rifleman would be a great choice. I like to be up close and in the action so I went with pistoleer. I also like to be close to group because im a novice doctor as well and i like to be able to heal people in need.

I did MSL/MSP and 0103CM works very good I have some very nice high DPS pistols and the paralize really works well with stopping shot to follow. I am still learning new things with the CU but I am liking the MSP with it. But I would think any range would do really well with SL.

Question... can the working SL skills be done while prone? Or even while under cover? I assume that volley fire etc would break cover but could you crawl up to scout over a hill so to speak while under cover and then use the command to launch an attack etc?

I'm MSL, MRifles, and CM 4xxx, and I just posted about dropping rifles!

Rifles are fantastic for damage, but cause alot of aggro because of that. The specials are all damage enhancing specials, which is fine, but they can take a long time to do, and the best ones have to be done prone.

Volley Fire is the only SL command you can use prone.

It looks like I might respec to carbs then, but I really want recon armour, not battle.

NOT correct. i recently was going prone to do some rifle man work (see my thread titled "a 'YAY, Squad Leader' story"). i was prone toinitiate a BH non-combat special, Rally, Steady Aim, AND THEN used my attack. it can be done.

i cannot speak, however of cover. i didnt take that tree of rifleman

Yes, my apologies.

Try getting a good Intimidator Pistol. Due to the M SL requirment this is quite the good gun. I've one with 330 est dps which is quite good for a stating profession considering thats better dps than a powerhammer...
