Hey folks,

Very grateful for any comments on this ITS list. I had 8pts left over so got a Yuan Yuan, although would have to put him in his own group as he is the 11th person.

Open with Army 5

In such a case, I'd suggest relegating the Djanbazan Sniper to a separate Combat Group. You drop the Yuan Yuan early (Extremally Impetous Combat Jumper - no much point in wasting Orders to keep him in the air), you do as much damage as possible with him, he dies. Or soebody else dies before your another turn comes in. Then you reassign the sniper to your main group.

That's a really good idea!

Many thanks

Another option would be to keep one of the Hackers (rather the Brigada than the al'Hawwa) separately. But that's only in case you anticipate you'll have much sniping to do (and Yuan Yuan's smoke could be handy there).

I also wonder why you're insisting on having the Azra'il FB in your list now - but I'm having a general rpoblem with this guy (since his profile got published, I was struggling to find a way to use him effectively. And still haven't found one!). No such problem with Azra'il AP HMG, and he costs exactly just as much (keep in mind, though, that Azra'il is going to attract a lot of enemy fire, regardless of which loadout you choose. He's hard to kill, but having a Doc close enough to help him can be a smart idea).

Just because I have the miniature, and I love it! That's all, really

I've actually found him to be fairly effective in games. Perhaps because of the miniature they are a bullet magnet, and in cover (usually with a doc nearby) they are very resilient. A good way to have an 'anchor' on the table.

But, I do like the HMG miniature as well so will no doubt get that at some point.

Many thanks for the advice though Errhile!
