So I've been playing some MegaMek using the basic infantry rules that are provided in the program. And I have to be honest: Basic infantry if deployed properly can be really dangerous.
In a six round game I just completed (4110 for the bot, 4100 for me) even with my infantry in the open, they were holding their own on damage delivered against the enemy lance. I was aggressively following the enemy mechs, and swarming the crap out of them when they fell. I know that the Bot was probably targeting the mechs first and foremost, but it did take shots at the infantry units.
That said, I was consistently seeing 11 damage on average by 5 infantry platoons per turn. That's brutal. Maybe it's death by a thousand paper cuts, but it adds up really fast.
