Apparently my wish to play Le Muet in Bakunin was heard although, like most wishes, not in the way it was intended by me: the possibility of playing him comes with the price of Limited Insertion which I'm not fond of. It feels like another try to force me to pay and play a TAG. Since this makes me defiant the possibilty of playing the Lizard is at 0.05% for now. Also I'm not really experienced with LimIn lists and that's the part where you fellow Bakuninas (or anyone else with experience in LimIn lists) can shine. What are your thoughts and Ideas about this? So far I expect Riot Grrls and E/M weapons to be (awesomely) effective... is Emily available in the SOF mode? Oh, totally forgot the Missions: Supremacy is my favourite mission... NOT.
I think Emily is available as CoC with E/M as a merc (35pts), like Uahu... but none links, forcing you to mark the targets first. For LI, my Bakunin lists go either with a Core of 4 moiras + 1 healer (that is the leader and stays hidden if their role is defensive) and Riot Haris, or a Riot Core with a Custodier+Healer+custodier/kusanagi Haris. So 2 links of 5+3, leaving 2 slots. Picking Emily would mean 1.5SWC and one slot, leaving a last slot for 40 points of another merc/something... Saito is just 39, incidentally, while Le Muet is 42. So yeah, rambo Lt possible, obvious Lt possible, Emily "tax" means up to 40pts of other merc.
I would play CH: camo or HD mercs just for the LULZ. "Bakunin has no MSV2? Too bad this camo token is really an intruder sniper"
Emily is damn good at marking her own targets, but the Merc that I think might really click is Raoul.
That one too, and can do more damage thanks to that E/M CC weapon AND the Drop Bears, if you don't have anything to capitalize on the smoke.
So far this is my first idea, taking Emily is tempting though.

Healer will get the IMM2 things finished afterwards. Anything else can stay isobilized (too lazy to write both).
Yeah, he might be even more common. You can fit them both in the merc cap for mallet+smoke and scalpel+smoke.
The Saito from C-137 will probably win, since he is the Saitoest. Sorry for derailing, will stop now.
That would be weird. Everyone can and must play Saito. You permanently lose access for the tournament if he dies and any remaining Saito get a permanent buff in the next round.

I have a good time with this list in tournaments in face-smashing missions like Frontline, Supplies, Supremacy, etc. It's a little dependent on going first, but that is less of a weakness against another LI list. If everyone is going to run Saito, Pi-Well will dumpster his ass no problem. As far as mercs go, Emily is really really good but she is too order hungry for a small list. The only merc I'd consider as LI Bakunin is Raoul. That dude is terribly strong, and at 1 SWC he leaves room for three heavy weapons and a hacker.
