Favourite Unit in............ Konflikt 47



I thought I would do a sort of series focusing on my favourite units in different game systems.
First up I chose the game system Konflikt 47. As regular readers will know me and Alex Does Hobby Stuff have an ongoing Konflikt 47 narrative campaign so we have played a fair few games with. In fact I believe I'm correct in saying Konflikt 47 drew my good friend back into getting a big battle game.
The unit I have chosen is the British Galahad. The ever stalwart British Tommy now encased in rift tech powers armour.  I love the  design and sculpting of the models and the lore around them.
They are the strongest of the various armies power armoured units meaning they should shrug off most small arms fire as they carry the Tough and Resilient special rules. They are fewer in number as they are quite an expensive unit (A full squad will cost you 290 pts. You can get a Sherman or Cromwell tank for less than that). To me the cost is worth it and I will always take the full 8 man squad where possible as each soldier is equipped with an LMG packing 4 shots. That's a unit throwing out 32 shots!!
This can really devastate a unit or in the case of our narrative campaign a giant failed German bio experiment! 


The Galahads killed it in the first turn of the game. Since then they have been in every British force I make.
They have not been properly tested in close combat in any of our battles I don't believe but against regular equipped troops they have many advantages. Against Nazi horrors they are a bit weaker as their resilient is negated by Tooth and Claw. However if they can pass the horror test and unleash point blank range shooting on the attackers as they come in that could be a game changer with their LMGs.


So Ladies and Gentleman I give you the Galahad!
