Hi everyone,

I'd like to have your opinion on a 200 points list that could be use in a tournament.

It's a Merovingian list:

Code: Select all

Here is the question I have:

Should I keep this list has it is, but put the 112 in group 1 and put the Metro DEP in group 2 or should I give up the Metro DEP and the Chasseur Minelayer to put instead a Chasseur
AP Sniper and bring back the 112 in group 1?

Ps: Sorry for the english mistakes I could have made. It's not my first language.

The strategy I was going to use with this list is the following:

Metro Fireteam to stay in defence and spray with enhanced HGM

Mirage team is the main attack force which will suprise the enemy

Briscard is the camo hunter

Chasseur and metro DEP are the camos and deployment disrupters

112 is the doctor obviously :]

Welcome! I can offer some suggestions, but keep in mind, they're only my suggestions from some limited experience.
Hope I didn't misunderstand any particular points of your post.

First:
I personally love the 112 Doctor, but often I've found him a little lacking in ability. Doctors from other factions have little helper bots to assist reaching downed soldiers on the board. The 112 will have to run the entire distance. Does he have a preferred model or group to work with? I would assume the linked team so you can keep the link as fully functional as possible.

Second:
The Metro linked team in many respects should be an offensive team. Not to say the bonus +1 burst and +3 BS on defense isn't awesome, but a burst 5 Str15 HMG is generally far more impressive. I would focus on using them offensively as you have invested the points in them. The other only point is the LT. By having the LT in the linked team you cannot using the LT's order without him being ejected from the linked team. Not generally ideal.

Third:
Mirage, always fun, but watch out as they can die very easily as well.

Fourth:
Briscard as a camo hunter is good, however you've only equipped him with a Marksman Rifle. Cheapest version, but shorter range compared to the other weapon loadouts. Might find it difficult to go camo hunting with him.

Fifth:
Putting nearly anyone in a group by themselves (not impetuous) is not generally a good idea (from my experience).



I have not had excellent results with the DEP Metro or the 112. I would recommend dropping one of them and picking up a normal Metro. This Metro will join the link team and the Metro LT can be assigned to the second group by themselves as generally you will want to keep them mostly hidden away for safety.

Again, take my advice with a grain of salt, there are far more experience people that can chime in, but I didn't want to see this thread without a response.

Thanks for the advice.
I'm going to work on list and hope I can improve it.

I have come up with this:

Ok so now:

I have a link metro on the offence and if one of the metros is definitely dead, I will replace him with Jacque Bruant.

My briscard now have a sniper so he will stay back and snipe enemy camo.

I really want doctors so I chose to take 2 because they don't have bots to help them so they will cover each others back and I placed a metro lieutenant with them so they have 3 orders to do their work.

My camos and deployment disrupter are the chasseur minelayer and adhesive launcher.

Finally, para commandos rifle to fill the gap.

I think this list is better than the other one.

Better, I would still consider dropping one of the 112s to a normal Volunteer with Rifle. It can act as a decoy for your LT. You will have limited orders with the second pool and two doctors will just be fighting each other for orders. With the points saved from dropping the 112 to a Volunteer you can make your second Chasseur to a minelayer too.

At least in my opinion a minelayer/flame thrower is always a bonus.


----Should add, absolutely nothing wrong with the list, just suggestions on my personal preference. Haven't been able to use an ADHL Chasseur to much effect.

I think the problem is that I have 2 groups so I have made a list with Loup-Garous link instead of metros:

Code: Select all

Tactic:

Still have briscard with sniper to hunt camo.

Cheap metro lieutenant not in a fireteam.

Loup-Garous fireteam with sniper for range combat, flash grenade launcher for bigger range use of flash ammunition and 2 adhesive launcher for tags/HI.

No camo, but zouave sapper with sniper to cover some areas of the table and a normal zouave for the sapper blind spots.

Looking good, just protect that Metro!

Yep I'm gonna hide him in the deepest of the holes.
Thanks for your advice's by the way.

No problem, if you can, please post some pictures of your tournament!

I may go to a tournament in not so long but it's a 300 points with scenario so I will have to make a whole new list, but I'l keep this one to practice it in normal games.
