    What do you guys find makes a list mentally easy to play? I'm still new to the game, I've got my first tournament soon, and I have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome so a day's play usually wrecks me. Would really appreciate advice on making simple but fun & viable lists.

    I'm going to make one list that's Specialist-heavy, and another that's straight killy. Pretty keen to avoid big active fireteams (moving them around is taxing, so defensive ones are okay).

    I've got Vanilla Yu Jing, ISS, IA and CHA to choose from.

    Thanks in advance!

    Not too many orders, and a pretty straightforward attack plan. Having to think about complicated way around and mines and stuff with a camo token can be pretty taxing, whereas blasting shit to death with a hsien or a hac tao works 9/10 times and doesn't require any complicated manoeuvers.

    I think an ISS list with a Hsien haris is a pretty good place to start, the haris can kill absolutely anything while dragging a specialist and a sensor around. Add a kuang-shi battery for orders and smoke, a sophotect to heal the hsien, a ninja khd to push buttons, and then fill the reste of the list with whatever you want to keep those guys alive: TR remotes, lunah, some madtraps (maybe avoid the kanrens, holoprojector is a mess), eventually some attack remotes or bounty hunters/csu as back-up pieces.

    But do note that the single best way to make a list less taxing mentally is simply to be used to it, so try to have a similar core for both of your lists and train as much as possible.

    I'd go with a straight up vanilla YJ list built around a couple of good rambo pieces then. Something like hac Tao HMG and hsien for your killy list.
    Button pushy is easy enough, take a couple of guilang, tiger and zencha and back em up with shaolin smoke and a good couple of attack pieces

    A single combat group, with one main beatstick and one backup, plus a little bit of trickery for the opponent.

    Something like this has long been my standard vanilla YJ list:

    You put the Daofei, both Guilang, and the laid Mine all within 8" of each other, so that any one of those camo markers could be a mine, and any one of them could be a 2W beatstick specialist. Not to forget that one of them is a surprise shot from a Multisniper (yeah, BS11 isn't great, but it's trivial to put your opponent at -12 while you're still at BS14 for the surprise shot, and trivial to maintain -9 afterwards.)

    HMG and HRMC shred what needs to be shredded at range.

    The Shaolin provides smoke, and if it can get close it will ruin someone's day in CC. If you lose it, so what? It's only 5pts and an Irregular order anyway. I know I didn't include any MSV in the list, but it'd be a pretty significant shuffling around.

    FObot rolls up and helps the Daofei push buttons. Doc and Engineer hide in the back and put down suppression fire if there is a strange hole in the opponent's list (like only 8-9 models/markers on the table).

    Your list does have some MSV, you've got two MSV1 with the Guilangs, so the list is even better that you say \o/

    Btw I will probably try it too, since I'm taking every options for playing this Yan Huo HRMC boy, and your list seems perfect for that!

    Just mind the KHDs, they can mess up that Daofei if you're not careful.

    If there are not many specialists needed, I kinda like that sort of list. It has super cheap orders, smoke and three brutal beatsticks as well as a very safe leutenant.

    For me a limited list might faster time-wise but more mentally tasking because I need to make sure all of those orders count. You don’t have extra orders to pound a button you falied on.

    If limited, i suggest IA or Vanila with Daoying and tac awareness guys. Just to make sure you have a few extra orders. If vanilla you can use Shaolin that get the extra impetuous and you can turn their Irregular into regular if you need to.

    You may want to try to one list for all. That's another thing you don't need to think about. There’s a few heavy hitters that are also specialists.

    Yeah, @Space Ranger has a good point about the extra orders that LT2, NCO, and TacAware can bring in.
