LAMI

Light Armored Mobile Infantry

The red-headed stepchildren of the Mobile Infantry. Immortalized in the Paul Verenhoven classic movie “Starship Troopers”.

The Light Armor Mobile Infantry (LAMI) were the result of a strategy designed to produce a hastily raised, trained and equipped force meant to carry the fight to the bugs and end the war quickly.

It failed.  

In hindsight, the Fleet dropped the ball on understand Arachnid intentions and capabilities. The LAMI drop on Klendathu was an un-mitigated disaster. But, as is often said, you don’t go to war with the army you want, but with the army you have.

Notes:

1.      Org notes: 30 total troopers mean that the entire platoon can be dropped or extracted in a single Viking-class landing boat.The mix of sniper rifles and longbows can change depending on the mission.

2.      Unit Quality: Hastily raised and trained. For the Klendathu campaign treat these units as Quality D8, Morale D8. Select units are Quality D8, Morale D10. Exceptional units and D10/D10. Officers and NCO \may be individually better for quality and morale.
