Bagh Mari snipers in regulars fireteam is big;) Dunno, I dont know what more this sectorial needs. But thats another topic. Btw, have You heard ASA podcast?:D Hilarious.
Yup. That's why I mentioned it. Also Bagh Mari HMG. Sectorial doesn't need much. Not everything is what sectorial needs. Sometimes, it's what units in sectorial need, or at least, would have development time&effort better spent on. For example, Kirpal Singh badly needed to lose CoC and gain something useful and interesting in exchange. Whose podcast?
Nah, their lists were terribad, lots of opinions hilarious;P They shouldnt try to analize armies on competetive level of they have no clue what competetive scene looks like. But it was same with episode with Hellois. Bad, forced humor, questions from community cut out from context, errors, mistakes. Terribad podcast since ever. Worst thing is they influence opinions in community. Ah well... At least they are better than TheDiceAbide blog, with 'zerat FO is great because shotgun FO profile has fash pusle for bigger ranges'. Give me a break and play game a little;P
Ah, you're being too hard on them. The podcast is really interesting to listen to, the hosts are great, and hearing from so many different areas is really nice. :) As for the lists, yeah, often those have problems but sometimes it's still good to hear what people think.
Semi-related to the topic. Stuff like the Dakini Core, Yadu, Posthumans (1, 2, 5), Shakti, etc etc are SO good, that I'm having trouble fitting anything else like Ajuna, Danavas, Daysus, and Nagas. It's not even that those units are bad - they're not. It's that the sectorial is SO points starved, that I'm forced to trim all the fat and go for things that will offer me multiple roles/utilities. Except for the Aspara. I have no use for her. Easily one of the best designs, but not very useful compared to Supportware IMO. SAD!
Sure, but like I said I'm looking for ultility and multi-purpose. Shakti is a very competent gunfighter, link glue, multi-wound, can be the LT, AND an upgraded Killer Hacker. Aspara doesn't provide enough (for me) even despite being only 19pts especially compared to the Posthumans.
Cute. That will be my new tagline, “TheDiceAbide: the only thing worse than the White Noise podcast.”
Why is that ? I find that the apsasa is a nice addition to any dakini core. The buff is nice enough on dakinis (+2 BS vs ignoring -3 for cover and shock ammo), but it is free (no order needed), the apsara herself is rather cheap, the EVO/HD/HD+ troop can use the buff on someone else (ex. rudras, samekh ...). But, the buff can be applied to the whole fireteam, or rather, to the relevant troop at each order/ARO, without any need to spend another order. And it comes with Number 2, which i find very valuable on a defensive fireteam. I do agree that assisted fire is overall better on a single troop, and clearly better on samekh and rudras due to thein being BS12, but for defensive purpose, the apsara is quite fit. And the BS13 buff is also very good when defending against impetuous warbands that don't have cover to begin with, thus rending the assisted fire program mostly useless.
