Data Sphere

So now that I feel that I've learned most of the basics about the game, I'm trying to make lists for ITS and trying to balance the whole specialists vs. firepower thing. However most of my lists are 10 to 12 dudes and I'm seeing online that people bring lists with 14-18 orders sometimes with extra impetuos or links...should I be aiming for a higher order count?

This in an example of what I normally run:

Comments and advice appreciated!

I found the following article on Crits Kill People very handy for getting my head around ITS:

It explains a lot better than I can about specialists and such and finding that sort of balance.

Thanks for the link! I'll give it a read
