    Hi,
    I'm playing in an ITS league and have a game tomorrow Mission is Rescue, I never played this one before and would like to have some tips about which units to use. Thought about infiltrating Thrasymedes and some fast drones and Scylla.

    Thx in advance for your thoughts

    In short:
    Achilles v1 has Multiterrain. He is fast and tough enough to move the civilians across the table.
    Scylla looks pretty ace for this mission!
    Infiltration is risky. I would rather have an Ekdromos (CR or AHD) land in the dead zone and do this job.
    Our REMs are fast but rather fragile. Chances are pretty high your opponent will throw a welcome party for you...
    Don't leave our TR drones at home. ARO pieces are a must in order to prevent your opponent from getting their civilians evacuated. Thorakitai with 360 visor and SMG in Supressive Fire are not easy to dislodge.

    Heh, I was running a training game just yesterday, with the mission being Rescue and one of the players using the Phalanx. I was thinking what I'd do in this situation.
    • Infiltration won't do much because of the exclusion zone. I'd also recommend an Ekdromos - or two - to enter through table edges.
    • Remotes would be fine but as attack/roadblock pieces, as they won't be able to synchronize civilians.
    • Scylla pushed into the middle might make it very hard for enemy hackers to operate, but it's also possible to use Drakios as an alpha striker, deal with MSV AROs, and put him into SF somewhere in the middle.
    My first attempt looks like this:

    Thx for your advice! I made a list using Ekdromoi, Thorakitai, small Machaon Myrmidion link etc. Will report how it went.

    Ups, no Machaon in my list...
    I'm pretty curious what your list looks like. Would you share it after the game?

    Canceled the game for today due to stormy weather conditions. We will have our match at a later date.

    Thx for your insights and list ideas

    Hi, I played the mission last Saturday. I lost 8:2 :slightly_frowning_face:the list was good, the plan too but I really had bad luck with my dice (time for new ones I think). My opponent played the Shock Army of Acontecimento. The Montesa Knight drove through a Hailstorm of HMG bullets from my TR bot unwounded. Fired about 16 times on him:rage:but was not able to wound him, most shots went astray and the few which hit were saved:-1:. And this bad luck was with me the whole game.

    That really sounds awkward... Let's hope, you will not be that unlucky next time!
    Would you please post the list you used? Curiosity killed the curious man, you know.
