How to start with the Merovingian Rapid Response Force

• List: Lets hit the ITS!

This is a very versatile list using many models from the previous lists. It has 4 specialists in it, more than enough for an ITS tournament.

GROUP A

2 Moblots with Mimetism

1 Moblot with Boarding Shotgun and Panzerfaust

1 Moblot with HMG Sapper

1 Moblot Engineer

After much consideration about including a briscard team in this list, I went for the moblots instead. They offer more flexibility. Protected by relatively high armour and mimetism, they are able to get close to the enemy where their short range weaponry comes to shine. The moblot engineer is the most combat effective engineer for Ariadna, and he can move with the linked team to claim objectives. The sapper skills of the HMG may come to shine when the moblots are fulfilling a static role or when things have gone bad and the link gets broken. The panzerfaust trooper was chosen not only to provide a different model. The panzerfaust is one of the few penetrating weapons in this list. Your fireteam is likely to get attacked by heavy fire, so the panzerfaust may find a worthy target in ARO.

2 Chausseur Minelayers

I think I have spent enough space praising this unit.

GROUP B

1 Aguacil Hacker

This mercenary from a different faction is your only access to hackers. As a specialist, she can claim objectives. Besides that, she can make the lives of combat jumpers harder, mount electronic defense and maybe get an attack in against HI troopers or even TAGs.

1 Paracommando with HMG

1 Paracommando Forward Observer

Your flanking force. They are supposed to get the orders they need from the Metros. The FO is the third specialist in the game, and she gets to walk into the middle of the battlefield.

1 Jaques Bruant Lieutenant

Return of the badass. Maybe you’d prefer to make someone else the lieutenant because the molotok is the main penetrating weapon of your force. Problem is that the only other viable choice is a metro.

1 Metro with HMG

1 Metro Paramedic

1 Metro Rifle

These guys generate orders for the heroism of the Jaques and the paratroopers. If things go very bad for the moblots, the metros can form a fireteam together with Jaques. The paramedic makes for a fourth specialist, just to make sure you won’t run out.
