Worth noting on that last list that the Akali is a bit of an experiment, because I've been playing some missions where AD have some unique attack avenues for walking on (Power Pack and Firefight, for instance.)

Those points could just as easily be folded back into other parts of the list... Reclaiming the .5 SWC from the Regular Forward Observer for example, making that one into a second Minelayer for added defense, and using the remaining points for something like a Pathfinder or a Peacemaker.

@Mikes Are there any Acon units or playstyles in particular which excite you?

 

I'm in a similar position, I've ordered the Tikbalang, Starter and Bagh Mari box and HMG. I'm planning on doing some fusilier conversions to give me more Regulars to work with. I've got the Aleph units covered thanks to OS.

@barakiel what would you recommend as a priority purchase next? It seems like Fugazi get a lot of mileage in your lists and 8pt repeater bots are always handy but they're cash expensive.

 

3 Fugazi should be a staple unless you're playing LI. they're amazingly cheap, fast, great ARO pieces, and triple the effectiveness of your hackers. I would go ahead and extend that PanO probably has the best remotes with the best AVA. they're real sleeper hits.

 

I'll put them on the shortlist then, knowing my luck I'll buy two boxes and then they'll release resculpts [emoji14]

I never felt they were that necessary in Nomads as morlocks and Jaguars provide cheap orders and an easy way to clear the midfield. I can see myself getting a lot of use out of the Regular sensor and sniffer bots combined with Dart in ASA.

 

Mayby you hadnt noticed but PanO is not that spoiled like Nomads when it comes to static DZ defence, repeaters, smoke, templates etc. ;P

Fugazi are good defense tool, situatuonal repeaters and so much needed sniffer carriers.

 

They're definitely expensive in terms of financial cost. But I get amazing return on my investment... Considering I play both NCA and Acon, I have 3 Fugazi and a Pathfinder in virtually every list I build. I get more use out of them than any other PanOceania miniatures I own, and I think they're really valuable if you want to branch into the 2 Combat Group format where I think Acon excels.

As my esteemed fellow PanO players mentioned, Fugazi play a lot of roles. I view AVA3 Fugazi as our equivalent of Kuang Shi or Galwegians. They may hurt your wallet relative to how cheap they are in terms of points, but they're really valuable in building any list, and they'll become a staple of how you structure all your listbuilding. Since we don't have anything like Jaguars, you'll come to appreciate how much Fugazi help a PanO list.

My next suggestion would be Nagas, of course. Having an Infiltrating Camo Specialist, backed up by PanO firepower, is one of the great reasons to play Acontecimento to begin with.

 

THe news definitely made me looking to buy what I need for ASA rather sooner than later. The original plan was to grab two starters (one for conversion work), B-M box+HMG, and either a second B-M box or separate BS and Combi minis from Shaekonnit. I'm about halfway through that plan.

I fully agree with getting two boxes of standard remotes next. Pathfinder+3 Fugazi is an awesome Repeater/anti-camo net. I'd follow that up with Nagas, Montesa (or a proxy), and Peacemaker. Forward deployment is a strong game for the sectorial:

Dragao neutralizes any strong AROs, Tikbalang flanks entire enemy force and becomes it's attention focus for the next turn.

 

For long time i play this list.
As i'm ISS mainer, i like smoke cover+fast assault on my opponent.

I view linked Baghs as a specific list requirement, rather than a staple. I use Bagh Mari links, but much more rarely than I use Regular links. This doesn't mean that Baghs are bad (quite the opposite, in fact) but rather that I don't view the full link team's role as being general-purpose.

Lone Bagh Mari HMG gunners are different though. I use those all the time.

And since my favorite role for Bagh Mari gunners is for fire superiority, I have to ask myself if +3 BS, +1 Burst is worth paying the extra 80-100 points for. If the team will also be doing other unique things, then that helps the argument.

 

Yeah, Baghs are too pricy to simply be a defensive MI link, especially with access to excellent Regular snipers and Minelayers.

B-M Haris, or some more offensively-minded Core, though... having FD L1 doesn't hurt one bit.

I run this core link almost always when im playing Acon (I'm maybe a bit biased, 'couse I have all the figures and think they are damn cool looking)
Sometimes if I have the spare swc i'll trade the paramedic for an assault hacker. Usually run Guarda or Bulleteer or Akal as additional offensive tools. Also 2 nagas are staple in every list for mines and objective grabbing. I'm not a fan of Montesas because, if I go second the mechanised deployement is just a bloat on them. (I haven't tried TAGs 'cause I dont have any tag modells yet, also haven't tried Dart but planning to!)
Regardless the season 10 rules are certainly welcomed by my little fireteam!

 

So do you use that as a predominantly static, defensive fireteam? Sniper on ARO duty, BS guys on deployment zone defense and HMG popping out of total cover in the active turn to kill before hiding?

If i go second, the best case scenario is partial cover from waist down on a roof for the sniper for ARO duty with a palbot next to her, so i can get back up to full 5 guys if someone wounds her. Then proceed to push in to the midfield blazing the HMG most of the orders, so 4-2 doesn't hinder them. Then set up some mines and guys for ARO according to the density of the terrain. One thing that is devastating in close quarters, but luckily in our meta doesn't come up too often are disposable flamethrowers. You really need to spread thin and hug every corner to minimise the chance of getting them all cooked at once. Although mines help with that as well and also against smoke using warbands.

 

What list do you use for biotechvore?

 

Well, quite well in the situation where I was doing dumb things all the way with my TAGs in vast majority of the games I played it. But I played ASA before ITS9 so no Fat L1 for the TAGs at this moment. You have to be careful about what you're doing, obvioulsy, but the list itself never disappointed me. I'm pretty proud of it, to be honest.
