    Mates,
    I am facing a battle and I came up with the following list:

    The mission is button pushing, but specialists are penalized, hence I tried to keep it low.
    Brawlers Haris for long-ranged combat and escorting the specialist to the button to push in relative safety.
    Chaksa Haris to cover firelanes and long-ranged combat.
    Neema & Co to do the heavy lifting.
    Keeesan to push button and general messing around.
    Kriigel Haris to lay down Mirrorball (for MSV2 shenangians) and smoke (for the rest of the lot) and to do some additional close-range gunfighting including DZ guarding.
    Clipsos for late-game button pushing.
    Warcor to record all the heroic deeds and dirty tricks for obvious reasons.
    I consider the ability to accomplish the classified as number one priority. (The mssion is a piece of sh1t and chances are high the only one classified would be the decisive factor.) Consequently having one of a kind of specialists is non-negotiable.
    What do you think? Glaring holes? Inappropriate unit choices? Missing ingerdients? Subpar choices? (Safe for playing Spiral Corps in the first place?)
    PS Any advice is more than ever as always.

    Good point, but I have very good reason not to do the swap.
    First and foremost the mission penalize taking squishy specialists, because who kills more specialists than the opponent gets VPs. Taking the diplomat would qualify asking for trouble.
    Moreover this is a campaign and I wanna be adored!

    First game in the books. It was a loss but I was close to turn the game in my favour in the last round. Good game.
    Neema with TriCore is a beast.
    The army could have used more smoke. The Kriigel Reex fireteam is solid. Misplayed the Taagma-Chaksa team. Brawler triad was not bad.
    Looooooove Spiral Corps!!! Shiny toys, fun to play.

    One of them was a Chaksa Auxiliar that easily hide in the Triad.
    For the other (with Neema and Kumotail) I have not yet found a good solution. I used Draal because the mini looked awesome, but a smart opponent would figure out rather quickly why the Stratuscloud is inactive.
    I think a Kosuil Engineer would be a good hiding profile.

    if you hide your taagma as something that is not on your list (and same group) you opponent will get it with the courtesy list
    putting two neema could help her to survive assassins
    or as a kriigel because jamming makes everyone making errors ?

    Just some minor changes:
    Now the Brawlers have the 5-man bonus, and have their own 5 orders to advance.
    CG1 is 3 Triads plus the Clipsos,
    but now with CoC if Neema gets unlucky,
    and a 'Mate to prevent just that.
    The second 'Mate is wasted, though, but that might toggle some mind games for the opponent...
    And there is still one specialist of every kind around.

    Advance to do what? They have no active turn shooting weapons and a WIP12 specialist who starts in your DZ. Scoot over the Clipsos so there's something to spend orders on and it works much better, since the Clipsos no longer competes with either of the triads in group 1.

    You could find a couple points to bring the Kumotail up to a Shotgun Kosuil if you want to take advantage of a second mate.

    Mates,
    I would like to thank you for the input, it is well appreciated. Now I am building another list, and I have a problem spending the last 19 points.

    As you can see I reshuffled the list above significantly.
    I kept the the Brawler fireteam but replaced the doc with an ass-hacker to spare points. Having the HRL guy and a specialist is non-negotiable, but replacing the hacker with a doc if points permit is more than desirable.
    I sacked the sniper for a hacker because I needed SWC to include the Jaeger. The Jaeger is non-negotiable, though I will sorely miss the MSV2...
    Neema & Co. is a must have. Pure awesomeness.
    G1 needs a regular trooper for 19 points stock. Ideas are more than welcome.
    G2 contains a Jaeger. Guy is non-negotiable.
    Kriigel triad proved to be more than awesome. Never leave home without them.
    Clipsos and Warcors are non-negotiable.
    The Diplomatic Delegate looks fine to push a button and die in the process. Bye, bye, beautiful, you will not be missed. Replacing her with another button-pusher would be fine, I considered a Monstrucer but 9 points are not enough to get G1 to full ordercount.
    How would you, mates spend the 19 points?
    Ideas are more than welcome!
    Thank you, mates, in advance!

    Yeah, Helots are a great roadblock.
    Was thinking about that for the list before this one.
    And I still don't understand why you like(d) the HRL better than the MSV2 Sniper - you already got smoke, it has a better range band, reaches further, and is so much better vs camo/odd/mimitism.

    Dropping one Helot to stay below 300 points, but upgrading the Taagma to a specialist again:

    Something else/new to consider would be Impersonators/offensive Hidden Deployment - it is one thing to have all kinds of specialists available,
    but what about killing your opponents specialists before they can do their job?

    Thank you for the feed-back, It's well appreciated!
    HRL is just jolly good against cramped-up enemies (including fireteams). In the last (and so far only) game I played with SC, a well-placed HRL shot almost turned my defeat into a victory. (If the guy hits with the HRL, I would have caught all 5 Wu Ming fireteam members under the template, because they were stationed on a rooftop that did not provide enough space to loosen the line sufficiently.) Besides It's cheap like Hell.
    I am allowed to bring 305 points. It's a camapign.
    Killing enemy specialists is a good idea but the secound mission do not penalize specialists but involves a lot of button pushing. I am pretty sure my opponent will bring tons of specialists. (On a totally irrelevant sidenote the Jaeger is not bad at killing squishy specialists.)
