Countering Ariadna Swarms

Just got my rear handed to me by an Ariadna force jam packed with cheap dudes and camo. Does anyone have any ideas on countering such list? I was basically running out of orders just trying to dislodge cheap guys from cover, while my Charontid got nickel and dimed to death.

There was recently a thread on this very topic on the main Infinity forum.
DTWs, Mines, and Vector Operators are all good tools.

Pretas are a pretty invaluable tool in any Combined list, able to engage camo markers with chain rifles when a revealed event in affected by the template as well, dropping mines, and just generally being a holy terror for five whole points. They're such a crutch my lists don't usually with without four of them.
Daturazi are great for the smoke, since Ariadna has zero ways to counter it.
I tend to enjoy Ko Dali doing some back door ripping up action, not only for her high burst and BS, but the MSV as well.
In 300 point games I aim to have about sixteen models, and that would be in ITS matches, too. The Charontid is fun, but he needs to be pretty well hidden to avoid being marked by a Chasseur before Katyushas start raining down. He's a great aggressive tool, but is lacking the defensive ability of the Anathematic.
I play the EI HI pretty sparingly these days, mostly just for fun. Competitive games, numbers and fancy tricks pay off better. Vectors and Dats (remember you can discover through smoke with MSV2+ without getting shot at), Ikadron burnination, Daturazi and Preta chain rifle madness, all secured by your own camo token shenanigans (Noctifer Spitfire kills most anything in Ariadna just fine).

4 Pretas and Ariadna should be quite busy.
And Daturazis with HMG Charontid. And TO Camo. And Avatar. And Mines. And bring your own Camo. Speculo. Sphinx. Hell, where do I stop...?
CA isn't easy to play, but once you get into it, you should be able to really wreck some havoc.

Use Daturatzi/Oznat smoke to cover your Charontid. Ariadna are not big fans of MSV3.
