I suppose if it's for mission that doesn't need Specialists, then fine. But YY with DA CCW is hardly needed. I put it on them only if I happen to have a point. One mistake I think I've done myself is to have the YY all in one Group. I've brought them in with the Impetuous and then used their irregular and then they have nothing else they can do! If they are supposed to just be a distraction, fine but I think they can be that AND still be able to kill stuff.
Here's a very rudimentary list I am going to have as an ''entry'' into Ikari Company for me.

Only need to wait for when I can save up some money to grab the Druze and Armand. This list is basically meant just to be a simple entry into Ikari for me without spending much.

And remember that infinity army still has bugs. Druzes in Ikari have haris as a core rule (without SWC cost ) http://infinitythewiki.com/en/List_of_Fireteams#Ikari_Company Why you choose 4 druzes without a tanko??
No, the Druze Haris needs to have at least one model with the haris ability in it. They may form a haris with 3 Druze (thats the "normal" Haris in the rules) or a Duo Fire Team with 2 Druze or a special Fireteam with 4 Druze and 1 Tanko. In the Army Mobile there is no Druze Haris Profile left, so perhaps there is no Druze Haris anymore...
Yep, apparently it was ditched with a previous .PDF update but it's only just been updated in Army online. Unsure of when the app will be updated. No Druze LT, Harris, or MSR in Ikari.

(0 | 9) 6 SWC | 300 Points Open in Infinity Army Okay, here's a different take on a basic entrance into Ikari Company, now that Druze LTs are no longer a thing. Opuhnions?
Agreed. It stinks. Now Ikari is even more vulnerable than before since we can only take a Keisotu or Brawler Lt. One is cheaper with 1 SWC and the other cost more but is SWC free. Ikari Company ────────────────────────────────────────────────── 2 BRAWLER Lieutenant Rifle + Light Shotgun / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 16) KEISOTSU Lieutenant Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (1 | 9) 1 SWC | 25 Points Open in Infinity Army
And I find it Funny, in a sad sort of way, that the Diayokai is a Headquarters Troop and yet can't be a Lt.!
@Maksimas I think both of your lists are a good start. Even though Druze are now unable to be an Lt. they still are a good link. With only two possible Lt.s it is not going to be hard for an opponent to single out & kill off your Lt. Meaning the Druze's Veteran skill is going to be more useful if your unable to keep your Keisotsu or Brawler alive.
@Maksimas How about this 200 point ten order list? Ikari Company ────────────────────────────────────────────────── 7 3 1 DRUZE HMG, Chain-colt / Viral Pistol, Knife.

(0 | 3) 6 SWC | 296 Points Open in Infinity Army Defensive Core Link, offensive WuMing-Haris, lots of Bashi + YuanYuan coming in from the sides. Desperado hunting Orderpool and the RuiShi for Anti-Camo. A Weakness I see is the rather obvious Lt.
Yeah, having only one guy in your entire list be a potential Lieutenant does suck, but that is probably gonna be one of Ikaris signature weaknesses now. Also... what Haris is the Brawler Haris trying to form?
Oh right, that's a thing I forgot about. Anybody who knows a Keisotsu Lt costs 1 SWC can pretty easily do the maths of ''The ML costs 1.5 SWC, the Wu Ming HRL costs 2, he's got a hacker, so that adds the total up to 4, and even if I am not sure whether this is the 1.5 SWC Rui Shi or the 1 SWC Rui Shi, his BrawlerMing Haris will cost 0.5 SWC for the Brawler in it, so it's either 5.5 or 6 SWC total... not enough for a Keisotsu Lt.''. Ofcourse, this might just be me and my endless crusade of refusing to take Lts that cost extra SWC to do so whenever avoidable making me spot stuff like that, but... still, ruling out a Keisotsu Lt isn't hard.
