I don’t get as many opportunities to play as I’d like, so sometimes I just make lists instead. I just picked up some grunts, but I’d like some advice about things.

Why ever take a Scout before maxing the AVA of Chasseurs? Why taking a TankHunter HMG instead of a 2nd Spetznaz? Why take Veteran Kazak at all ?:)
Grunt infiltrators are fine, but don't expect them to land, even with two of them. They're more a nice perk when they do, than something you should plan to even get one success with.
I feel like the scout is a little different role. The ojitnik has a really good range band for mid field and shock makes it a pretty good threat. I also like having a camo lt. The idea behind the tankhunter was serving a different role. I was hoping to use the high arm as an anchor for one flank. Vet Kazaks have been pretty solid for me. The NWI and ARM means they stick around and sixth sense stops some common problems they face. 11 points for a reg order and the infiltration is a bonus. In the actual game, one of them covered a flank and took care of a parachutist holoecho
Well, the 1 ARM difference between the Tankhunter and the Spetznaz is negligible, and the benefits of Marksman far outweigh whatever the Tankhunter brings (AP HMG and D charges, I guess). Vet Kazak is decent, but think if you wouldn't want a Blackjack, instead. Cheaper, more options for all the different rangebands and real 2 wounds mean there's an option to pick him up if he falls unconscious, unlike the Kazak.
I like having the D-Charges just in case a classifieds calls for it, though in this case 2 AP HMGs was more than what was needed. I was slightly worried about high ARM in this battle. On the other hand, the Vet Kazak is slightly faster (4-4), has mimitism, and a smaller profile, which means harder to hit and easier to get cover. Sixth Sense can be particularly nice if getting attack through no vis or flanked. And not hackable. You are paying an extra 11 points, but I feel its worth it.
I see what your problem is... Not enough Fire. Feuer Frei!

I’ve played a pair of games with bringing two infiltrating grunts. The first time, both rolls failed, but they still provided orders and the deployment on one actually ended up stopping some walk on AD. The second time, one succeeded and proceeded to pour fire on a fireteam before it activated, killing 4/5 of the team. I’ve been happy with them. Usually, if I drop the Vet Kazak in points, then I grab the x-visor instead. I’ve never had luck with paramedic rolls.
