ALEPH
──────────────────────────────────────────────────
Hi there,

Just starting infinity with a few friends, had some fun with this list. It is a brittle army in my opinion.

What i have learned in the few games i have played -

myrmidon are great
naga always useful
aleph always have less troops
(I really dont know what i am doing)

Myrmidons are indeed quite great. Super cheap for all their stuff.

I'd reconsider all those Combi Rifle Myrmidons in exchange for Chain Rifle versions. The points you'd save (27) could easily go to another Deva or upgrading something else. Since you're only playing Vanilla ALEPH, there really isn't THAT big a reason to get so many Myrmidons unless you just want to use all those Myrmidons.

Eventually, you'll get to playing ITS or other objective based systems that require specialists. The Myrmidons have only one specialist option and it's expensive (the hacker). Try to keep this in mind as you progress and when you're considering purchases.

Of course, you don't really HAVE to do ITS or any missions at all. But a lot of depth and variation can be found in those missions.

cheers for the feedback! totally agree, from what i undertsand about ITS, specialists are needed.

Interesting comment about chain guns, i will have to try that.

many thanks again.
