Just like the title says, what are your recomendations and tactics for leveraging conquerors in your tank lists?
thanks!

Which ones? Ulanii or Minervan? Minervan I'd form them into platoons and use them as objective grabbers and scout killers 4+RA and 35cm move is killer, let alone the gun. Ulanii Conquerers would have much the same use, but are far more fragile.

Minervan. Yeah stumbled onto 12 of them for $20 (total steal) and needed to figure best way to swing them. You'd suggest a platoon per what point size? 6 units per 3k? More? Less?

Honestly? They seem totally spammable. I don't own enough to field effectively myself, but two squadrons in 3k seems like it wouldn't be a bad bet. Play with it a bit - I'm interested in your results.

Hmm, I would take LR-Coys, when I want to field my three Companies at 3k. One with normal Layout (2xVanquisher, 8 LR, Hydra), one with 10 Exterminators and one Hydra and then the third would be one Conqueror-Coy with Hydra. Tank Platoons are not taken by myself because I primary field two LR-Coys. Enough LR, other things are more important (artillery, scouts, AA, Flyers).

Add a platoon of 3 of them to your salmanders in your scout companies along with a platoon of 3 griffons and four vultures as air recon scouts. Also add a platoon of mechanized infantries in chimeras along with a fire support platoon. In other words, an armored cavalry company.

Would be nice to see. But it doesn't work, because Companies are required. And Minervans doesn't have Scout companies.
