Hi guys! New MO player here (I usually play vanilla CA, It's my first experience with Sectorials) that needs some advice for a local ITS tournament. My main difficulty is to balance the presence of the specialists without losing "fire power". These are the lists I thought, which could be better in ITS tournament optics?

Damn, we have some really big Shasvastii influx in PanO these days ;P What are the missions ? Either way (personally) I wouldn't take 2 Joan link lists to a tournament, one is more than enough. How about 2nd list being old good "MagisterHospitaller" link list ? Something like: Military Orders ────────────────────────────────────────────────── GROUP 1 10 3 KNIGHT HOSPITALLER HMG / Pistol, AP CCW. (2 | 41) KNIGHT HOSPITALLER Doctor (MediKit) MULTI Rifle / Pistol, AP CCW. (0 | 41) MAGISTER KNIGHT Panzerfaust, Light Shotgun / Pistol, AP CCW. (0 | 22) MAGISTER KNIGHT Panzerfaust, Light Shotgun / Pistol, AP CCW. (0 | 22) MAGISTER KNIGHT Panzerfaust, Light Shotgun / Pistol, AP CCW. (0 | 22) FUSILIER Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 10) FUSILIER Hacker (Hacking Device) Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (0.5 | 18) FUSILIER Lieutenant Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 10) SPEC. SERGEANT (CH: TO Camouflage, Infiltration, Forward Observer) Combi Rifle, Antipersonnel Mines / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 27) FUGAZI DRONBOT Flash Pulse, Sniffer / Electric Pulse. (0 | 8) GROUP 2 4 2 MULEBOT (Minesweeper, Repeater) Electric Pulse. (0 | 8) SPEC. SERGEANT (CH: TO Camouflage, Infiltration) MULTI Sniper Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (1.5 | 33) PATHFINDER DRONBOT Combi Rifle, Sniffer / Electric Pulse. (0 | 16) WARCOR (Aerocam) Flash Pulse / Stun Pistol, Knife. (0 | 3) TECH-BEE (Remote Assistant Level 1, Specialist Operative) Flash Pulse / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 5) TRAUMA-DOC (Father-Doctor) Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 14) 4 SWC | 300 Points Open in Infinity Army
But why ? One of the quite important things in infinty is to actually know the mission you build your forces for :) (it's night impossible to even compete in Looting&Sabotaging if you don't bring DA/EXP CCW) :) If so I would really stress not gaving 2 Joan link lists ;)
Because I ran out of points ? Unless I have points left or mission does require it I dont bring DA (I know it is vastly better than AP). I tend not to use CC on my Magisters (mostly they either they or their targets are already dead when someone reaches B2B), and "CC initiative" is usually on my opponent ;)
Yeah, I wouldn't even start planning lists 'till I knew the missions. But List 1 (from the OP) and the one @eciu put together would make a solid pairing. One tip for the Hospitaller fireteam core, don't bother with the Multi on the Doctor if you have Joan in the fireteam. You already have a Multi there on Joan, and the DA CCW on the Combi Doctor is a nice option in case you need a second CC to happen when things get in close and messy. For similar reasons I'd go with a pair of Boarding Shotgun armed Hospitallers rather than one with a Combi, that Boarding Shotgun GETS WORK DONE at BS 23 B3.
Thanks for the advice guys! I'm impatient to think and try the lists and I can't wait for the missions!!! The two lists that I posted are one of the two that I would like to use as a "main list" to which add a more specific list for the missions...so the first one seems to be better. P.S. Forgive my english! ;-)
No worries, most of people here are not native english speakers (plus americans), so the population who care/can be annyoed is rather small :) (plus its hard to improve without actually using this language)
