New player - could I get some feedback on this list? Wanted to run the Double Jotums because I like the big tough robots, but also wanted to cover my bases with hacking and midfield clearance via the Batman and Robin duo of Shona and Liang (which one is Batman and Robin??). Also included Blade Engineer for more tactical awareness. What are the biggest things I need to watch out for playing this list?
Only one engineer who cannot take part in coordinated orders and no hackers to protect your TAGs from been stolen.
Thanks. In that case, what should I drop to make room for the hacking defense + coordinated engi orders? I do want to keep the double Jotum core.
Below is my suggestion to provide some hacking protection. Note that the list is still very vulnerable to a hacking faction like CA or Nomads: All In ────────────────────────────────────────────────── 10 2 1 JOTUM (Lieutenant) MULTI Heavy Machine Gun, Heavy Flamethrower, Panzerfaust / AP CC Weapon.

Something like that? ────────────────────────────────────────────────── 10 3 JOTUM (Lieutenant) MULTI Heavy Machine Gun, Heavy Flamethrower, Panzerfaust / AP CC Weapon.

This would be my Approach. No Hacker prevents your TAG being taken but at least one normal HD can recover them. with COMD token usage the TAGs have a 8/6 split with a spare Tacawareness for engineering
As a failsafe for stolen TAGs I prefer to have two hackers and the TAGs in repeater range, hopefully this brings the TAG back in control after only one order spend on it.
