I noticed recently that my Chisholm's Raiders/Lone Wolves company had collected a trio of urbies. Previously it was two which isn't all that bad. However, after the addition of The Buffet Assault Group's Urbie in their now obsolete color scheme (foreshadowing), Urbies amounted to a third of the Raiders/Wolves' mech compliment. That kind of tactical inflexibility is best reserved for either my Capellan Homeguard or a stand alone force.
Thus I decided to split them off into their own separate meme lance. The fourth, urban-camo Urbie was painted specifically to fill out the roster. You can laugh all you want, but one never knows which variant of mech they are facing until it shoots. So were I to field these as a lance of UM-R70s, I am sure that any mockery would evaporate the moment a volley of 24, AC-5 slugs went spraying in all directions. I would imagine that following said 1-trick pony act, these would be immediately be elevated from a joke, to high priority targets.
Normally we don't play in the eras that the UM-R70 is available in, so more than likely these will be a Suburbanmech merc lance with the golden suburbie being the UM-R100 prototype. This scenario is far more likely to happen on the table top than the R70 lance.
