I am having so much fun building lists for IA. There are so many options! At the moment I'm just looking at getting as many linked HI on the table, and the results are great. For example: Inflammable Army ────────────────────────────────────────────────── 10 MÓWÁNG (Lieutenant) Spitfire, Flammenspeer / Heavy Pistol, Knife. (1 | 52) HǍIDÀO Hacker (Killer Hacking Device) Boarding Shotgun / Breaker Pistol, Knife. (0 | 26) ZÚYŎNG (Fireteam: Duo, Tactical Awareness) HMG / 2 Breaker Pistols, Knife. (1.5 | 38) ZÚYŎNG (Fireteam: Haris, Tactical Awareness) Combi Rifle + 1 TinBot B (Deflector L2) / 2 Breaker Pistols, Knife. (0.5 | 34) HǍIDÀO Engineer Combi Rifle, D-Charges / Breaker Pistol, Knife. (0 | 28) ZÚYŎNG (Fireteam: Duo, Tactical Awareness) HMG / 2 Breaker Pistols, Knife. (1.5 | 38) HǍIDÀO (Chain of Command) Combi Rifle, D-Charges / Breaker Pistol, Knife. (0 | 29) ZÚYǑNG Paramedic (MediKit) Combi Rifle / 2 Breaker Pistols, Knife. (0 | 29) CHAĪYÌ Yaókòng Flash Pulse, Sniffer / Electric Pulse. (0 | 8) ZHANSHI Missile Launcher / Pistol, Knife. (1.5 | 16) 6 SWC | 298 Points Open in Infinity Army I can have either: Mowang Spitfire + Haido KHD/Eng Zuyong HMG + Zuyong Haris(Tinbot L2) + Haido KHD/Eng Zugong HMG + Haido CoC Lone Zuyong paradmedic or Mowang Spitfire + Haido KHD/Eng Zuyong HMG + Haido KHD/Eng Zugong HMG + Haido CoC Zuyong Haris(Tinbot L2) + Zuyong Paramedic or 5 man Zuyong link (including a Haido Eng/KHD and Tinbot L2) Mowang Spitfire + Haido KHD/Eng Lone Haido CoC All the Haidos could be changed to KHDs, or swap one for MSV2 MSR (and put him in the 5 man link). So you can push 3 separate good quality HI attack pieces which trail durable specialists with them, and are generally not vulnerable to hacking due to having KHDs or Tinbots, so hopefully the lack of Stealth isn't too big a deal. I love flexible, tactical, aggressive armies like this. The Mowang Lt with a good CoC option is awesome and is going to wreck so many people's day - 2W+NWI mimetism on ARM 5 with BS13 and his own KHD or Engineer. It's probably sensible they limited Haidos to AVA 3, otherwise I might run 5 and just have 5 duo links :) I can't wait to play IA :D
I think a Panggodoggo for the Mowang is a very good investment. Means the Mowang going deep will project repeater coverage for your Tinbotted Haidao KHD. Also can reload that Kanone/Speer.
Nice nice! I didn't know the rules for Lt2 and NCO, and was having a hard time understanding why anyone would take the Daoying. If the rumours are to be believed, it's basically that Lt2 grants two Lt orders, and NCO units can spend Lt orders as regular orders (and thereby not break fireteams). Meaning your Ti Haris there has actually 9 orders available, that is fantastic.
The Mowang and Zuyong HMGs have Fireteam Duo. Zuyong's can form Fireteam Core, and the Zuyong Haris provides Haris. Up to one Haido can join any fireteam. So all 8 HI there are linkable in the different ways I put in my first post.
10, plus an option for converting Irregular to an 11th 7 base, +1 Tactical Awareness, +2 NCOLT2 conversion.
The title more or less sums up what I wanted to do with this list. The new sectorial is fina and all, but what about Vanilla? ────────────────────────────────────────────────── 10 DĀOYĪNG Lieutenant L2 Boarding Shotgun / Breaker Pistol, Knife.

I played Vanilla for two years now, so I have fun with the sectorial for now. Go for 2nd turn, buff all remotes with repeaters to burst 2 and grab some popcorn. This is not serious though. You might have problems with the space in your deployment zone, especially when you go for full Holoecho2 madness. Too many remotes ────────────────────────────────────────────────── GROUP 1 10 RUI SHI Spitfire / Electric Pulse. (1 | 20) RUI SHI Spitfire / Electric Pulse.

(0 | 16) 5.5 SWC | 298 Points Open in Infinity Army Am I correct in thinking this list has: 10 Regular Orders 2 Lt Orders can be spent on Mowang, Tai Sheng or Daoying 3 Tactical Awareness Orders, which can be spent only themselves So the 5 man Zuyong link has 15 Orders available (3 of which are stuck to individual troopers, two of which have HMGs). These orders can be used to just Move-Move when required. And it carries a KHD and a Tinbot. And 2 HMGs, a MK12, a shotgun, a (stun) grenade, and a template weapon (chain-colt). And two specialists. And can split to form 3 separate duo fireteams, or one Haris and one Core of 3-3 or 4-2. That is amazing :D I think I'm in love. Limited Insertion is going to be pretty rad.
Something like this, I guess? I Guess this... ────────────────────────────────────────────────── GROUP 1 10 SHÀNG JÍ (Tactical Awareness) Spitfire / Pistol, Shock CCW.

(0 | 16) 4.5 SWC | 300 Points Open in Infinity Army 10 orders for the Shang JI to attempt doing something constructive with his goons and the extra order. 5 orders in the second group, which can be activated with 2 extra orders due to NCO and Lt. 2, which makes it a pseudo 18 order list.
Pretty nice! A Shanji leader of a 5 man team with 10 + 1 orders, and a Zuyong Haris with 5 regular + 1 Tactical + 2 Lt orders, making it a 11 and 8+1 irregular order list. It might be a bit fragile going second, but then again it can lose many of the cheap orders in ARO and still go strong. I would probably trade the Doctor for an Engineer, if only to force my opponent to shoot those 4 ARO REMs multiple times.

Revealing your Hac Tao and losing an LT order because he told the Daoying to sit the fuck down doesn't seem great.
Depends on when you reveal it. If in active turn, the Hac Tao can just burn those two orders since they have already been generated.
