MAF List: 200 Points

[Solodice]

So after some harsh beatings at 300 points with MAF I've decided to downgrade to 200 points get a better feel for MAF and not worry about the stuff that comes with 300 point games with them. Going from Aleph to MAF hasn't been an easy transition and I know it's not my lists but my tactics.

MAF at 200 points:

Combined Army - Morat Aggression Force | 9 models

The idea behind this list was to have the Dats as the center piece while the Yaogat snipers and Lt provide long range support. The Preta is there to use its bio mines to ward off AD troops coming after the Yaogats and also be threat on the table.

Basic Tactical Outline: I'll want to take Deployment as it will give the importunity to find a place to put the Yaogat team presumably a tall building or one that provides good firing lanes. If I don't get deployment and not the desirable building I'll want to to keep the Yaogat team on the ground and possibly move them to a building or use them as a mobile support team for the Dats.

The Dats will be the main force to engage the enemy and will mostly go after LI or MI and any possible LI link teams. The Yaogats will provide long range support as well as over watch for the Dat team in the reactive phase and will be the acting link team in the reactive phase. During the active turn I would like to make the Dat the active team after their impetuous move and use them to capture objectives or kill the enemy. The Preta is then uses it's bio mines to lock down the Yaogats position from any AD troops and then move out to harass the enemy.

Any MI or LI can be handled by the Dats but a HI link team will require the Yaogats to mark them as priority target numero uno. My main opponent is a Yu Jing player so I could either expect a cheap link team like Haramaki from JSA or Wu Ming from ISS. If a TAG takes to the table the first priorty is for the Dats to ignore it and go after the orders and for the Yaogat team to play cat and mouse with it. Skirmishers can be handled by the Yaogats as well as speculative fire from the Dats chain rifles to help deal with camo. The preta in all situations is to harass LI and lay about bio mines to hinder AD or troop advancement.

I'll see how well my planes hold up in a week or so before my next game. Any thoughts on the list or tactics involved with it? This is the first MAF list that I've come up with extensive tactics for instead or some half cooked planed like in my last 13 games (I've had a hard time coming up with some tactics with MAF compared to my Aleph force).

You have an obvious LT.
Are you going to link the Dats, or the Yaos for better AROs?

[Solodice]

Not that it really matters if MAF has a obvious Lt but the Yaogat Lt was the only one that I could get that didn't cost me a hand and a leg in SWC and was the cheapest option. I could of went with a Suryat Lt but then that means no more Yaogat link team...

The Yaogat team will be the team active in the reactive phase as they have the long range weapons and getting ARO'd by two DA shots from two snipers is never fun

[Pierzasty]

It does matter when he gets killed from an AD unit when all the Dats run forward.

Well if you read my basic tactical outline that's what the preta's bio mines are for and no I'm not going to put them right next the link team like a tard and get them blown up whenever they move or shoot.

[Pierzasty]

Preta, as in "singular". I usually run 2-3 Pretas to do this, one is very easy to get killed.

[Solodice]

You like to take 2-3 while I like to take 1-2 pretas espeacilly in a list like this where I not running a Oznat.

[Solodice]

Okay just for the fun of it I decided to make 2 more 200 point lists and I'm letting someone in out local group choose which one I'm going to use (out of 3).

So here are the other two:

Combined Army - Morat Aggression Force | 9 models
________________________________________________________

Suryat Lt+HMG (47|2)
Sogarat HMG (67|2)
Oznat (21|0)
Preta Chain (5|0)
Preta Chain (5|0)
Preta Chain (5|0)
Preta Chain (5|0)
Med-Tech Combi (23|0)
Slave Drone (3|0)
Slave Drone (3|0)
Morat Combi (16|0)
________________________________________________________

200/200 points | 4/4 swc

Medtech is basically in the list to provide engineer support as I've been running into a lot of E/M weapons and having the Soggy shut down is a no no. He can also serve as a doctor if needed but I doubt he will have much to doctor.

Combined Army - Morat Aggression Force | 8 models
________________________________________________________

Sogarat Feuerbach Lt (70|2)
Sogarat HMG (67|2)
Oznat (21|0)

Preta Chain (5|0)
Kurgat Shotgun (20|0)
