So going to do some Dhashat this weekend for Asteroid Blues. First mission Mission: Quadrant Control. Enemy: Haqqislam I know he will have some Ghazi and probably some Halqa starting midway up the board. Since it’s a mission that needs points in an area, i’m taking a doctor. Then also Tracktor Mul for baggage. I initially was going to have Valerya in the Haris link but I decided to go with EVO Remote again due to baggage. Also, i can run Team Pro to keep the links going.

At this point I have no idea what to use here.
Playing against Haqqislam?

Bringing a TacAware Zuyong will give you an extra order to play with while Isolated if necessary, allowing you to make a second attack or enter Suppression Fire with a unit that won't go down to one Template. McMurrough also seems like a good choice off the top of my head for clearing the Objective Room with his twin Chain Rifles. Since you are playing against PanO the most dangerous thing he could have in there are Bolts with Drop Bears, so throwing a few pieces of chaff in the list to clear mines might not be a bad idea.
Is it the Brawlers and ABH that's the fireteam? Unfortunately I don't have enough remotes for all of those either. I'm pretty sure I'll take McMurough. Probably similar to the Quad control. But I don't think i'll need the Dozer & Traktors. Liberto mines will be helpfull too. So here's what i'm thinking. Zuyong for the ZO. Hunzi, and Zhencha for the far consoles. Dozer and Ghulam FO for the close ones. It's tempting to change the Dozer & Traktor to a Ghulam Doctor. After all, it's about points in the ZO.

Sorry, bad joke. Its just a trash list with nothing too scary in it because you said you'll be playing against Haqqislam. Which obviously means you've been put up to it by some evil shasvastii or other criminal. The sword of Allah is righteous!
I've now found out it's going to be against Tunguska. I've only played them once and was blown off the board by the missile launcher Hollow man.
McMurrough Speculative grenades just out of range and LoS like an angry light mortar. That or Kum biker to the face.
There's plenty of ways. Use already-irregular troopers like Libertos and Hunzakuts to pierce the bubble and get shots on the offending model. You can even use their Stealth on the way in. Shoot them from afar with a Rui Shi or Brawler. Put mines in their path. Grenades are an option but not a particularly efficient one against PH12 Ghazi. Really Dahshat deals with jammers by generally having its threats widely spread and very often fielding a Dozer.
I lost Quad Control and Won the Engineering Deck. In QC my opponent mined the hell out of the area but my Traktor Mul Minesweepers actually changed them to me. He had 2 Fidays. 1 regular and 1 character. He killed my Data tracker, the Zuyong with the regular one. I think i was dumb and should have gone after him before he could get me. McMurough was Isolated by Ghazi. He didn’t die but his effectiveness was reduced. I tried getting an engineer to him and failed the roll. I couldn’t believe he had a Hunzikut with LGL and he did spec fire with it and actually landed them. The thing that really hurt though was Hostile Environment rule. Anytime there was a roll of 18+ (including ARM rolls) you need to make an ARM roll vs. Dmg 13. I guess it fhtat was an 18 you didn’t need to keep going. But I lost a few things to that and my Zuyong HMG took a wound to it. I almost lost the Dozer to this. I failed Engineering MM out of Isolation and then had to make an ARM save because of the failed roll! She made that to then get killed by the Hunzi LGL. The Zuyong HMG would later be killed but the Fiday character. The ED game was pretty hard fought. Liberto being the stars of the game. by mining the areas and moving up to mine some more. McMurder was able to move up and kill a hollow man in CC but would later be taken out. But him just taking out the one guy reduced their effectiveness greatly. The isolation inside the building sucked! You can’t wait to the end to do it. They are Isolated as soon as inside and can’t take anymore orders to do something. They would need to wait to the next turn to use their one and only order to move or whatever. Only ones with Vet skill will be okay in there. Maybe TA and Impetuous too. Unfortunately it was my Zuyong FO (Liaison officer). The Zhencha was great for pushing buttons and then went off and killed a few Securitate including the Lt. Unfortunately he had few more with Vet skill and mitigated the LoS. But i was able to get one Zuyong in there and survived plus got more consoles. Hard fought and fun.
Obligatory “jammers are broken” comment here ... oh wait! It looks like plenty of players have provided reasonable solutions to the “problem” lol
Ya i tried but there wasn't much I could do about jammers. MM at least took them both out and it was bad luck for the engineer to fail to fix it. I'm still amazed by him spec firing with Hunz and hitting on 8's. But then I can't seem to roll under 15 so... Oh in the first game, knowing he had at least 1 Fiday, i had the Bashi disguised as plain Ghulam "Lt." but he didn't take the bait! That was actually smart of him.
