I have my hands on a very basic Ramos crew: the Steamborg, some spiders (swarms too), a Brass Arachnid, Joss, an Electrical Creation, and the man himself.
Now, I've only played a couple games and it's rather amateurish of me to assume that I'm going to be good at this game right off the bat. I've failed a lot, and some of that has to do with my Warmachine background: I'm afraid to throw a model into the fray because I'm expecting the other guy to be able to activate everything on his side after I make my move. I keep forgetting that nearly everything can take a few slaps if I play my cards right, and the alternating activations really throw me off.
That aside, a big question that I have is about how he is best played on the field. Does Ramos like to be right in the action up front or somewhere in the middle?
I've had some rather disgusting failure at trying to use him as a spider factory from the backfield, so I'm pretty sure he's not meant to hang out back there.
Similarly, does his crew tend to operate better within a certain range of him, or is it better to let things wander afar?
Any advice is appreciated, this game has got me totally stoked (even though my Brass Arachnid doesn't).
Thanks in advance!
