Myth Busters: UCM have no Demolisher

PHR wedding in Vegas?

There is a theory, that if you want a building removed, you need PHR or Scourge with their abundance of high energy demolisher (D) weapons. People have been lining the streets and shouting from the rooftops for UCM to have some form of D weapon so that they too, can contribute to the urban renewal......

........but why? UCM have everything they need (and shhh don't tell anyone, but they do it better than PHR and Scourge).

The Unloved Army

Praetorian Snipers new combat gear?

A while back, Edchop did an article on unloved UCM units. These are units that have fallen out of favour or perhaps never really in favour (Scimitars, I'm looking at you!).
I decided to put together an army of "unloved" as I was playing against a newbie. The newbie in question is a long time wargamer called Alex. He has had a couple of games of Dropzone and this was to be his first proper 1500 point game.

It's A Load Of Old Rubble, Really.

I hope they were insured...

If your games tend to be anything like ours, the local cradle world building contractors look on them with greedy eyes. The average loss of buildings in our 1500 point games tends to be about three, though if Sgt Slaughter is using his PHR this always at least doubles!

Now, this post isn't about building demolition; I think the rule is fine, and is a viable tactic. Unless you're using six Katanas and an Eagle, in which case you can just bugger off. No, this post is in regards to what is meant to be left on the battlefield after the building is removed: Rubble!
