Can someone post a list of terms EIR players use? Sometimes I get lost when people start talking about Alpha Strikes and so on.

Shit I'm pretty sure you could offer the guy a cup of coffee and he'd try to kill you with the mug if you forgot sugar.
That's like offering Beer to fuck the fat chick. It will work for a while, but it's not gonna last. Not only that, but there is zero motivation for the Fat chick to loose weight.
Why don't you collect up your love beads and potpourri and find something constructive to do.

Alpha strike in EIRR = the damage a unit will do in 1 hit
SMG = poor alpa strike , deals damage in burst
Tiger = good alpha strike, deals lots of damage in one hit

Alpha Strike refers more to multiple weapons firing at once to instagib a target. For example a Stormtrooper's alpha strike.

Although not entirely accurate to the real usage, when I say alpha strike I'm simply referring to the first strike.
Alpha strike is NOT from mechwarrior and it's silly to think such a term was created by a game. It's an actual military term.

In EIRR, an Alpha Strike is used as Mechwarrior used it. Thats the way its been in EIRR for along time, often but groups of Storm Shreks and RR's. Don't like it? we don't care. |

Except that's not what AmPM said. He said "Alpha strike is from Mechwarrior" and I said it's not. So stop being a dick.
