Equipping key damage dealers with heavy missiles, a nuke, and a MIRV, while arming scouts with dirt bombs and force shields for map control and survival, to increase overall damage output and reduce early scout losses.

Goals: Improve scout survivability through shielding and utility, enabling them to provide map control and early intel without being wiped quickly. · Style: Emphasize early positioning and force protection: use dirt bombs and shields to buy time for heavier tanks to deploy and strike.

Enemy IronSentinel and AegisRogue tended to cluster their pushes; a well-placed nuke or MIRV could punish that behavior.

Scouts without protection die too fast; allocate dirt bombs for cover and force shields for survivability. Heavy missiles on damage dealers increase kill potential significantly.

Improve scout survivability by equipping all scouts with shields and dirt bombs, and ensure all tanks have at least 2 shield charges.

{'name': 'scout-screen-advance', 'description': 'During the search phase, scouts form a forward screen using force shields and dirt bombs to protect the main force from early contact.', 'applies_when': {'phase': 'searching', 'range_band': ['far'], 'hp_band': ['high']}, 'body': 'All scouts move to the front line, each deploying a force shield at max range and a dirt bomb to create cover. They then retreat behind the cover, allowing battle tanks to move up safely.'}

Scouts without shields and dirt bombs die quickly and contribute little. Equipping them with force shields and dirt bombs improves survivability and map control.

By equipping all scouts with force shields and dirt bombs, they can survive longer and provide sustained cover, while battles get heavy missiles and nukes to capitalize on enemy clusters.

Goals: Equip all scouts with shields and dirt bombs to create mobile cover bubbles for sustained map control. · Style: Use dirt bombs and force shields in coordinated formations to protect battles from early fire.

{'name': 'shield-wall', 'description': 'When engaging at mid range, scouts with shields and dirt bombs form a defensive line, deploying dirt bombs ahead and shields behind to protect battles moving up.', 'applies_when': {'phase': 'engaged', 'range_band': ['mid'], 'hp_band': ['mid', 'high']}, 'body': 'Scouts with force_shield and dirt_bomb move to the front line, dropping dirt bombs in a line to create cover, then deploy shields directly behind to block incoming fire, allowing battles to advance safely.'}

Enemy focuses fire on exposed scouts early; unsupported scouts die quickly.

Scouts with shields and dirt bombs survived longer, providing sustained intel; battles need heavy ordnance to finish off enemies.

Equipping all scouts with dirt bombs and shields will allow them to create mobile cover bubbles, increasing survivability and enabling sustained map control.

{'name': 'cover-bubble-advance', 'description': 'Scouts deploy dirt bombs in a staggered line to create a moving cover wall for battles to advance safely.', 'applies_when': {'phase': 'engaged', 'range_band': ['mid', 'far'], 'hp_band': ['high']}, 'body': 'When squad advances mid-range, lead scouts drop dirt bombs every 2 seconds to form a continuous cover screen, while battles move behind and fire through gaps, shields ready for incoming fire.'}

Enemy prioritizes scout elimination early in the round; defensive cover can counter that and buy time for battles to deploy.

Scouts died early last round; providing dirt bombs and shields should improve their survivability and enable sustained cover for battles.

Equipping all scouts with dirt bombs and force shields will create mobile cover bubbles that protect the squad from early fire, allowing battles to survive longer and deal damage from safety.

{'name': 'scout-cover-bubble', 'description': 'When engaged at mid range, scouts deploy dirt bombs in a ring and activate force shields to create a protective bubble for nearby battle tanks.', 'applies_when': {'phase': 'engaged', 'range_band': ['mid'], 'hp_band': ['mid', 'high']}, 'body': 'Scouts spread out in a 60-degree arc ahead of battles, each deploying a dirt bomb to form a semicircle of cover, then pop force shields to absorb incoming fire while battles use heavy ordnance from behind the cloud.'}

Opponents seem to focus fire on isolated tanks early; coordinated cover bubbles should deny easy kills.

Scouts died too fast last round; equipping all with dirt bombs and force shields to create mobile cover bubbles, increasing survivability and enabling battles to fire from safety.

Equip scouts with shields and dirt bombs to survive longer and provide cover, while giving heavies heavy missiles for early punch.

{'name': 'scout-screen', 'description': 'When scouts are engaged at close-mid range, they deploy dirt bombs for cover and force shields to absorb damage, enabling heavies to reposition safely.', 'applies_when': {'phase': 'engaged', 'range_band': ['close', 'mid'], 'hp_band': ['high', 'mid']}, 'body': 'Scouts in the forward line use dirt bombs to create cover, then deploy force shields to absorb incoming fire, while heavies take advantage of the protection to advance and fire heavy missiles.'}

Scouts died too quickly; need shields and dirt bombs to survive early engagement and provide map control.

Equip scouts with force shields and dirt bombs to survive early contact, and give heavies extra heavy missiles/nukes to capitalize on intel.

IronSentinel aggressively targets scouts early; shields and dirt cover should counter their rush and protect intel.

Scouts died early with no kills; adding shields and dirt bombs should improve survivability and early map control.

Equip scouts with four force shields to drastically improve survivability, enabling them to deploy dirt bombs and provide early intel without being wiped, supported by shielded battles and heavy missile upgrades on all heavies.

{'name': 'shielded-forward-screen', 'description': 'When engaged at mid range, scouts deploy shield then dirt bomb to create cover, then fall back to heavies.', 'applies_when': {'phase': 'engaged', 'range_band': ['mid'], 'hp_band': ['high']}, 'body': 'Upon first contact, lead scout deploys force shield in path of enemy fire, then immediately drops a dirt bomb behind the shield to create a smoke/cover barrier. The scout then retreats toward the heavy line, using the shield to absorb initial bursts, while the dirt bomb provides visual obstruction for following allies. This allows the scout to survive longer and feed intel without being picked off.'}

Iron_Vector seems to focus fire on our scouts early; shields and dirt cover should counter that.

Scouts died without dealing damage due to lack of protection; additional shields will keep them alive longer to spot and screen.

Equip all tanks with force shields and extra dirt bombs/missiles to improve survivability and early positioning, allowing heavies to deploy and strike.

Goals: Prioritize squad survival over early kills; use shields and dirt to secure positions for heavies. · Style: Emphasize early positioning and force protection: use dirt bombs and shields to buy time for heavier tanks to deploy and strike.

IronSentinel and Iron_Vector are aggressive early; they push hard and focus fire on isolated scouts. We must stay clumped and use cover to counter their rush.

Last round we lost all tanks early with minimal damage. Investing in shields and cover kept scouts alive longer, allowing heavies to get into firing positions. Need to maintain this discipline.

Invest heavily in force shields and dirt for all tanks to keep heavies alive longer, enabling them to fire more heavy missiles and win the round.

{'name': 'shield-wall-advance', 'description': 'When pushing into enemy territory, heavies deploy shields forward while scouts drop dirt to create a wall, allowing heavies to fire safely.', 'applies_when': {'phase': 'engaged', 'range_band': ['mid'], 'hp_band': ['high']}, 'body': 'Heavies move forward in a line, each deploying a force shield directly ahead. Scouts drop dirt bombs in front of the shields to create additional cover. Heavies then fire heavy missiles from behind the shield wall, retreating under cover if shields break.'}

IronSentinel often targets our heavies early with aggressive pushes. Shields and dirt will slow them down and give our heavies time to fire.

Heavies with more shields survive longer; scouts with dirt and shields can control early positions. Increase shield count across all tanks to prevent early losses.

Scouts need more dirt bombs to create cover for heavies; top-heavy performers get extra nukes for decisive strikes. Shields on all to prolong survival.

Enemy tends to focus fire on exposed tanks early, especially scouts and isolated heavies. Must maintain formation and use cover.

Scouts with dirt bombs create essential cover for heavies; heavy missile spam is effective but requires protection. Shields keep key tanks alive longer.
