Do you mean he likes HI and TAG? I haven't used Sforza in N4 yet. I think he's cheaper than he used to be. Let us know how he works out. Is that a Zuyong fireteam? If so, the Sforza with holoprojector can't be a part of it. Only the FTO holomask one can. Zhencha are okay hackers but good at getting somewhere it needs to be. Saito is good for bring down some HI and being a character helps with some objectives. Miranda is good but it helps to be in a fireteam to really take advantage of the Mim-6. However her average range means she needs to be in a moving fireteam to get closer. Also this is a mission where movement is more important. You may never know what objectives come up. Zuyong Lt. HMG is asking to be shot. I know DH is limited on Lt. choices but maybe see if you can swing points for the regeneration one. Doctor biker is good for getting to areas. But since he's not impetuous i'd move him into the larger link to have more orders to use. I don't think you will find much use out of the Muls in this mission. I think the chain rifle Kum are good enough for what they do. Why spend an extra pt? You might want to look into trying out Fiddler. She's perfect for this mission. The one with 2 Jackbots costs the same as a Hulang SMG. I recommend the Rafiq. It does everything pretty well. Red Fury if you can. Here's one I put together for this mission. Replace Hulang with Fiddler. Highly Classified ────────────────────────────────────────────────── GROUP 1 8 1 BOUNTY HUNTER Spitfire / Pistol, PARA CC Weapon(-6).

Profile here. Exactly! Like I said she's nearly perfect for this mission. Character, Engineer, Fast, Climb+, NWI, etc.
He likes to take Hector, Parvati and Zeta Sforza will be holoing on his own. The Zuyong, Miranda and Val will be in a link (to give the Zuyong and Val more B). If Miranda gets a chance to break away with her monofilament blade, she will. He'll be hiding to hack the Zeta (or Hector, either will do) I moved points around and swapped him out for the Tac Aware one. Yeah, living my Lt. twisting out in the wind was a bad idea. I switched to one and cheap baggage version for the order. They'll hopefully be laying down guided missile attacks from the hackers or Hunzakut I had a couple points left I couldn't spend elsewhere Since Fiddler's not official yet, not including her.

I really hope the Infinity model for Fiddler winds up looking like the image from the release (above) and not the weird monkey-girl from Aristeia...
Man, I spent too much time looking this up. Non-FTO Sforza wasn't a popular topic :( 2 points cheaper on both profiles, +1B on the Adhesive Launcher and the Electric Pulse turned into a Para CCW -6 with, I believe, increased CC by a point or three. At some point during N3 his pistol also got upgraded to heavy I believe. As far as transferable knowledge goes, Echo Sforza is good. Can absolutely recommend for mid-field brawling. Also a nice backup piece to have in case opponent plays lycanthropes.
