    contemplating getting into IA, and below are my first IA list. I want to ask everyone here if they think its better to have a 5 man link of zhanshi or keep the list as Limited insertion.

    A couple pointers on lists

    • Haidao KHD,Yan Huo & Zuyong are a fireteam. Basically big gun, KHD with Tinbot, and Tactical awareness. This seams like a strong point piece.
    • Gaoying sniper LtL2: to feed order to NCO, then late game use order on himself after my opponent forgets about the camo token. I also really like the Minelayer for a bit of Lt shell game.
    • I really want to try explode with the Liu Xing, then Boarding shotgun since its so close. The AHD is points filler, and objective grabber.
    • Hzanshi are mostly cheerleaders, the hacker is to help the AD.
    • Mowang NCO looks like a beast, and get all the LT orders. I went with Redfure to save SWC. May swap the Daoying to a basic to let me upgrade this to a spitfire.

    • Mostly the same as above, but adding a Pangguling to the Zhanshi fireteam to make it 5 man core.
    • Downgraded the Mowang to a Tai Shien to save SWC and put in a Zhanshi HMG.

    Now, it's not quite what I'd run. I would prioritise the non-hacker version of the Louie (KHDs are nearly guaranteed in the current version of the game, no point exposing yourself to something you can't fight) and if there's points left over somewhere and SWC lying around, I'd upgrade one of the Zhanshi to a Son-Bae - though I do note that it's funny how in every list I make with a Son-Bae I seem to have also removed all Zhencha...

    A couple of thoughts.

    I really like the Zhanshi core with a Haidao sniper in it to create a cheap firebase. I’ll usually also have the Zhanshi HMG to have a secondary gun.

    If possible, it’s a good idea to have a 6th body around (4 Zhanshi, 1 pangguling FTO, one Haidao) so that you can bring the team back to 5 when one of them dies.

    I feel like IA really shines in limited insertion with NCO and tactical awareness. If you can get your single order group up to 14 orders, it’s that much more able to knock your opponent down.

    Especially in limited insertion, the heavy infantry link is probably a good idea. Zhanshi can be great, or they can be one wound mooks who die to a stray bullet. Having a link of 5 with 2ish wounds each, gives your core some staying power.

    Personally I wouldn’t run a LI list without a zuyong pain train. It’s one of IA’s biggest strengths. If you prefer a zhanshi link, why not aim for 14 orders?

    I'd honestly want to run a beefier Zuyong Pain Train if you're going to play Limited Insertion:

    It's funny because you could also aim for 14 orders with the Pain Train in LI (with TA, NCO rules and such). I also believe that goingfor LI means fielding the Pain Train, unless you go with a defensive link with Haidao MSR + Son-Bae SML asbackup for a Hac Tao HMG or something similar. Personally, I dislike the Yan Huo Haris, I would prefer a single HMC and spend the slots/points in Zhenchas or the like.

    You can easily field a Mowang NCO, Hac Tao and defensive link in LI:
