A couple of things:

First, Shihab Remotes are AVA 1. By taking 2 of them your list is not legal in ITS.

Second, you have an obvious lieutenant. This may not be a huge deal depending on what the terrain is like, whom you're playing, or what mission you're doing. But I'd take one look at your courtesy list and your deployment and I'd know exactly where to put my Hassassin Fiday.

Third, you're starving Leila Sharif of orders. Since she's your only KHD, you're going to want her to go on the offensive. To do that, she'll probably need orders.

Fourth, you have a lot of hackers, but no repeater coverage. As such, you're going to have to burn a ton of orders getting your hackers into a position to be useful. An investment in a Hunzakut infiltrator with a deployable repeater could be worth its weight in gold.

Fifth, the Djanbazan profiles you picked are probably the least optimal ones. They'll be able to protect you from smoke-throwing war-bands, but neither one is a particularly devastating ARO piece. You might get more mileage out of a sniper in your backfield with good lines of fire or an HMG placed on Suppressive Fire.

Speaking of snipers, the Tuareg sniper is a double-edged sword. Tuaregs are the only unit in the Haqq army that get access to Hidden Deployment, and having Infiltration means they are great as mid-field strikers and objective-accomplishers. But the sniper rifle is weakest at this range. That's not to say being able to set up in Hidden Deployment deep in your own deployment zone and make a long-range Surprise Shot isn't cool and good (it's the best way to take out an enemy TR bot, for instance), but it's paying a lot of points for effectively a one-role trooper.

Also, four doctors is probably excessive. You'd almost certainly be better served dropping several of them down to regular profiles and buying a couple of Nasmat slave remotes (it would also hide your lieutenant more effectively).

Finally, this list lacks the best unit in the game - the Ghazi Muttawi'ah. You have MSV2 with your Djanbazans, so why not give yourself the ability to toss some cheap smoke around?

The Kaplan Engineer and Bashi Bazouk are both great and worth taking. I've found that waiting until turn 2 (or occasionally even later) to bring on the Bashi Bazouk is devastating, but a lot will depend on the structure of the opponent's force (i.e. if all of his units are broadly "doing work," or whether he's using a bunch of cheap cheerleaders to fuel a big Rambo piece like an Iguana or Achilles).

There is one thing that's great about your list, though - it's all stuff that comes in just a couple of easy boxes. It's a Remote box, the Kaplan box, the Djanbazan box, and some Ghulams from the Haqq starter box. From the perspective about making just a few key purchases and getting a force on the table, it's very economical.

Hiding the LT is not very relevant in Haqq, it's only obvious if people know you don't use Hafzas.

Agreed with the Doctors. They can't heal themselves, no Nasmats so order efficiency suffers, and FOs would be much better backup-specialists-order-monkeys with their WIP 14 flash pulse ARO threat.

I'd really add a Hunzakut or two, especially since their specialist variant has a deployable repeater to extend Leila's hacking range (she's kinda meh unlinked otherwise). Or (and?) an Al Hawwa for the D-Charge sabotage action.
