(0 | 24) LIBERTO (Minelayer) Light Shotgun, Chain-colt, Antipersonnel Mines / Pistol, Knife. (1 | 10) 6 SWC | 299 Points Open in Infinity Army My Opponent was OSS. Charontid scored Follow-up as the data tracker on turn 1. Cadmus came in turn 2 to score Data Scan. Opponent scored Espionage on turn 1, Capture on turn 2 and Experimental Drug on turn 3. My turn 3 was pretty baller. Doc Worm rushed in to score Retroengineering and the Caliban turned badass. It scored predator on the enemy Dasyu (Daturazi had already killed a model in CC on turn 2) then it rushed in and scored identity check on the HVT for the win.
Ahahah, didn't notice how many Shasvastii I got in the list... I didn't really consider the Charontid but I'll keep the big guy in mind! Thanks a lot for the feedback! Especially considering that my opponent will play OSS too!
