Hey Up All Missed a tournament today because my son is ill and passing the time building lists for it using MAF, which I've just picked up. Hit a bit of a brick wall on countermeasures. Having played it as phalanx, you definately need all the specialists, but I'm struggling to juggle them all in there alongside enough killing power. Any advice or list building concepts for this one?
Well, strictly speaking, in Countermeasures you don't need all the specialists because you can always discard an objective at the beginning of your turn. Mainly, I'd go for high order count and make sure to take the units that can complete a wide variety of objectives (Zerat Hacker, Rasyat w/ D-Charges, Dr. Worm, etc).
Countermeasures with MAF is slightly hard because it's order intensive and requires lots of varied specialists, and while MAF does have some specialists, they're usually sub-par. There are a few lists you can try to take it, though. This one is good: Morat Aggression Force ────────────────────────────────────────────────── GROUP 1 10 YAOGAT Lieutenant Combi Rifle + Panzerfaust / Pistol, CCW.
