Going into first event with ikari this weekend, limited insertion. Got decapitation, power pack and unmasking as missions. My lists are done and submitted but just wondering what the community would have gone with for these missions? Always interesting to see other player's riffs on a theme. 300pts, no spec ops, no other extras, just limited insertion
Ug those are hard missions for Ikari and Limited. I hate limted for them because I miss out on my Yuan Yuan! Well I think for all of these missions it would be good to have a Ninja. When it's not pushing buttons he's stalking around killing the Lt. And because they hate us, we only have really one Lt., the Brawler. I recommend taking two plain Brawlers just to make your opponent try to figure out which one is which. You can also take a Bash Bazouk and have him Holo Level 1 as a Brawler. Or even Level 2+1 to be 3 Brawlers! or Keisotsu just to throw him off. Just to take up points you are going to need to take some of the big gus. Wu Ming, Karakur, Al Faseed, etc. Personally I like Wu Ming and Karakuri. Karakuri are great as Datatrackers too.

For taking down Lts, I've found the threat of a Druze lobbing fatality E/M grenades is a serious threat. Besides, in the games where the Lt is public information, we're hardly at a disadvantage...

(0 | 40) 6 SWC | 300 PointsOpen in Infinity Army List one is for the missions that have saturation zones as links are a bit vulnerable there and it has two good big hitters/xenotech escorts. List two is the classic HI core which is fairly utilitarian with spec and guided fire (I had a spare point and good spotlight/fo options) and has backup from the msv2 sniper link. Liuetenants are painfully obvious but ltd insertion means I cant actually do multiple brawlers due to wasting points
Obvious lieutenants are pretty tasty bait, if you want to encourage your opponent to overextend. Might distract from the mission, if you keep your focus...
I agree with Fire@Will about grenade launchers but not just E/M. The nice thing about the Wu Ming is that he also has a Multi Rifle with Shock and BS13. I’m starting to think it would be helpful to have lot of Shock Ammo for the those Lt. with NWI. It’s just so hard with Limited Insertion!
Post Yeah that's why I wanted the lgl in that team, shelling lts hiding on rooftops and the multirifle is solid against a decent variety of targets. They're pretty decent team all in all
That's why I love the Wu Ming HMG, SMG/Chain Rifle, and Brawler (even the lt) in a Haris - truly a gun for all seasons..
Came 4/10 which wasn't too bad. Got spanked in unmasking by ariadna camo s (list1) drew in power pack Vs vanilla haq (list1) then smashed TAK 10-3 in decapitation with the wu-ming pain train. Lgl data tracker practically won it singlehandedly, bagging two spetsnaz hmgs, the designated target, the data tracker and the only Lt kill!
Trying to remember now, there was a camo hacker, Al fasid hmg, couple of ghulam, bashi, zayedan, kwahrij, knauf and the newer dude with 2w and suprise shot2. Knauf rolled really well and held my daiyokai up so the cube jager came on and shot him from behind instead lol
Nah, blew my gaming allowance on the vap tourny so that's my full day events done for a while (need to help with the kids). Tickets are like gold dust too!
