These two are the lists I wanted to bring to a tournament I ended up not attending. Missions were Supplies, Acquisition and Frontline and special was Tactical Window (max 15 troops). I want your opinion on the lists and how to play them on those specific mission. Also, any general play tips are welcomed. Supplies ────────────────────────────────────────────────── GROUP 1 9 1 INTRUDER (X-Visor) MULTI Sniper Rifle / Pistol, CCW. (1.5 | 43) REAKTION ZOND HMG / Electric Pulse. (1 | 26) HECKLER Red Fury / Pistol, Knife. (1 | 24) BANDIT Boarding Shotgun, E/Mauler / Pistol, DA CCW. (0 | 26) HELLCAT Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 22) ZERO (Forward Observer) Combi Rifle, Antipersonnel Mines / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 19) ZERO Hacker (Killer Hacking Device) Combi Rifle, Antipersonnel Mines / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 21) MORAN (Forward Observer) Combi Rifle, CrazyKoalas (2) / Pistol, Knife. (0.5 | 22) MORAN (Forward Observer) Combi Rifle, CrazyKoalas (2) / Pistol, Knife. (0.5 | 22) PUPPET MASTERS (Minelayer) Submachine Gun, Antipersonnel Mines / Pistol, Knife. (0.5 | 14) GROUP 2 3 2 2 INTERVENTOR Hacker Lieutenant (Hacking Device Plus) Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (0.5 | 25) JAGUAR Chain Rifle, Smoke Grenades / Pistol, DA CCW. (0 | 10) JAGUAR Adhesive Launcher, Panzerfaust / Pistol, DA CCW. (0.5 | 13) MORLOCK Chain Rifle, Smoke Grenades / Pistol, E/M CCW. (0 | 6) MORLOCK Chain Rifle, Smoke Grenades / Pistol, E/M CCW. (0 | 6) 6 SWC | 299 Points Open in Infinity Army The idea was to pick first turn in Supplies and smoke (and/or White Noise) objectives and try to grab them with either the Morans or Zeros. If I got to go second I'd put Panzer Jag, Inruder (which I would probably keep in reserve) and TR Bot to each cover one or two objectives to make it hard for my opponent to get the boxes. Hellcat was there to jump and try to take down opponent's dude that took the content of the boxes (and maybe take it back). Bandit was there to assassinate different stuff, try to rush to HIs or Fireteams with Mauler-BSG combo (or take back the box content). Heckler was there as Prower-lite to shoot around midfield and also for geting the box stuff back. Frontline/Acquisition ────────────────────────────────────────────────── GROUP 1 9 1 INTRUDER HMG, Grenades / Pistol, CCW. (1.5 | 42) REAKTION ZOND HMG / Electric Pulse. (1 | 26) SPEKTR MULTI Sniper Rifle, Antipersonnel Mines / Pistol, Knife. (1.5 | 39) BANDIT Boarding Shotgun, E/Mauler / Pistol, DA CCW. (0 | 26) PUPPET MASTERS (Minelayer) Submachine Gun, Antipersonnel Mines / Pistol, Knife. (0.5 | 14) ZERO Hacker (Killer Hacking Device) Combi Rifle, Antipersonnel Mines / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 21) MORAN (Forward Observer) Combi Rifle, CrazyKoalas (2) / Pistol, Knife. (0.5 | 22) MORAN Boarding Shotgun, CrazyKoalas (2) / Pistol, Knife. (0.5 | 20) DAKTARI Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 14) TOMCAT Doctor (MediKit) Combi Rifle + Light Flamethrower / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 22) GROUP 2 2 3 3 INTERVENTOR Hacker Lieutenant (Hacking Device Plus) Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (0.5 | 25) JAGUAR Chain Rifle, Smoke Grenades / Pistol, DA CCW. (0 | 10) MORLOCK Chain Rifle, Smoke Grenades / Pistol, E/M CCW. (0 | 6) MORLOCK Chain Rifle, Smoke Grenades / Pistol, E/M CCW. (0 | 6) MORLOCK Chain Rifle, Smoke Grenades / Pistol, E/M CCW. (0 | 6) 6 SWC | 299 Points Open in Infinity Army This was list for the Frontline. Spektr would Infiltrate and Hide around midfield (to provide points there) on top of something and wouldn't ARO right away waiting for some sneaky shot, or wouldn't ARO at all. Tomcat was there for suprise points and to revive mid casulties (especially for Spektr with that Climbing+). If I went first I'd probably rush with the Bandit which I would keep in reserve (him or the Intruder). Generally a lot of midfield stuff. I think I was planning on using this list for Acquisition too. This would have been my first tournament (I played 2-3 leagues but was generally terrible at the game) but ended up not going. I was really excited to go and was theorycrafting about what to do and how to deploy and stuff (especially about problems with deploying Morans if I had to deploy second). I thought about having different tools for different problems: TR Bot with White Noise for MSV snipers and stuff, Bandit for killing key pieces and for Fireteams (which usually stop me in my tracks with that 2 Burst and bonuses), Morans for Warbands, Intruder for either ARO through smoke or long range gunfightning and Heckler for midrange gunfightning. But no matter how much I plan stuff there's either something I didn't think of or I simply forget to use my option ^^' I noticed that I always make the same lists: 1-2 Zeros, 2 Morans or Moran+Heckler Jammer, midrange shootist: Prowler or RF Heckler, longrange shooter: Intruder or TR Bot, sometimes a sniper: Intruder or Spektr, Interventor Lt, at least one Jag with Smoke and few Morlocks. Also, I noticed that Intruder on ground level lives longer and surprises my opponents more then one in (obvious or not that obvious) sniper nests.
I like the lists, I've built and played similar. Biggest issue I see is that you have no real way to go second in Aquisition. I'd have split those two lists as Supplies + Front-line for one and Aquisition for the second. This would have allowed you to build very midfield heavy list and a second list that has a good Datatracker option (I find Taskmaster Lt goes well). The second list is a perfectly viable Supplies list and is probably what I'd take for the midfield list. Tomcat can either serve as a hunter or to grab a late crate. HD ARO overlooking a button you're otherwise only covering with deployables is a fun play: there's very little more satisfying than blowing out the brains of a specialist who just did you the favour of opening a tech coffin for you.
Thanks for the reply and tips. I tried to tweak the Frontline list for Supplies and downgraded Puppetmaster to upgrade second Moran to FO: Supplies/Frontline ────────────────────────────────────────────────── GROUP 1 9 1 INTRUDER HMG, Grenades / Pistol, CCW.

(0 | 3) 5 SWC | 300 Points Open in Infinity Army I really wanted to include Heckler Jammer but couldn't find the points. TM is there to move onto the mid objective later in the game, so it's ok for him to be in 2nd group, right? Could you write about how would you deploy/act for each of these missions depending on if you are going first/deploying first or going second/deploying second? I started writing a sort of pseudocode on how to deploy and act in different missions and circumstances cose I tend to forget a lot of things when I actually start playing.
