Open in Infinity Army

it looks pretty good but you are over the 15 cap of troops unless you and others are ignoring that.

Your Lt. Is pretty obvious due to the only Ghulam and +1 Command token. It's going to be a big target. I would try to get another regular Ghulam in there to act as a decoy. Maybe change the ABH Sniper.

I'd move the Group 1 Fanous to 2 and Saito up to 1. This will give him more orders to work. I'm not sure how I feel about McMurrough and Saito in the same list. Both are great alone.

 

Check with your friends but I think most are going to keep with the limit.

In the future I recommend a couple Hunzakut infiltrators. They are fantastic. I prefer the FO Rifle/Lt. Shotgun. With Valerya's pitcher you can make a good repeater network. Dahshat doesn't have the greatest hackers but never underestimate a cheap WIP 14 Ghulam hacker!

 

The list is pretty awesome if you go first, but if you go second the enemy will have little issue going towards your deployment. ABH Sniper and Fanous bots are the only straightforward ARO models you have. There is a Liberto with his mine that will have to be dealt with when going to your DZ, yes, but a heavy infantry will be able to just tank the mine and shoot Liberto from afar.

Then there is the fact that all your specialists start in your DZ. Zuyong FO and Paramedic, Valerya, Ghulam Doc+3, all of them will have to spend orders to go towards the button in the midfield and push it. As @Space Ranger had pointed out, do try out some Hunzakuts for this role exactly. The fact that your list has some free SWC kinda begs it to be filled with the additional Liberto Minelayer for the midfield that would be saturated with camo markers, or a TR bot with an EVO hacker. A TR bot is a great ARO model in most circumstances while the EVO Hacker will come in handy for both the Shihab and the linked Rui Shi.

So I'd swap the Zuyong specialists for cheaper bounty hunters (they are AVA 4 here after all), maybe remove Saito (killing stuff in the middle of the table without pushing buttons is what Libertos will be doing) and use the freed-up points for Hunzakuts or maybe even a Zhencha. That way, you'll still have a punchy link team with the alpha strike while also getting a more respectable ARO potential with people who'd be one order away from pushing a button in the middle of the table.

 

A combination of a Liberto minelayer, Hunz, and Zhencha can really throw someone off. They will have a hard time figuring out what's a mine and what isn't if you do it right.
