    My thought is, that Achilles is wasted in Steel Phalanx. A myrmidon link team, does similar, while providing more orders and more utility. Example :

    One BS Officer + Spitfire Myrmidon + Chain Rifle Myrmidon @ 82 (2) points. Gives you B2 Smoke/Eclipse, a spitfire, and the ability to push buttons for only 7 points more, one less SWC, 2 extra orders, and they're immune to hacking.

    My second comment is, that your myrmidon link lacks anything, that can hit beyond 16". Sure, they can cover their advance via smoke, but not having anything longer ranged, doesn't make use of your ODD.

    And third, you've got tons of smoke, but no MSV2. I run so myself, so I wouldn't call this a big mistake, but the smoke + MSV2 trick is amazing, and you haven't got much to combat camo/ODD.

    Achilles can reach, however, the target in Capture and Protect very easily and get back, thanks to his 15-10 (6-4) MOV. I would use, however, the V2 option with Multi Rifle, since he will get close and personal and risks MSV's and Flamethrowers.
    That being said, Patroclus is a cheaper, if much more fragile, option. Or an Ekdromoi, 20 points of goodness.

    In short, Capture and Protect is, this season, a Direct Action mission, since the consoles were removed to give points to the Datatracker mechanic.

    I agree to an extent here, I'm quite happy with an Agema Mk12, he's cheaper in SWC and points than a Spitfire Deva but has more range and better BS in exchange for no NWI (so it requires a close healer). The problem is that Achilles eats a lot of points, so the idea would be changing him and the Netrod for an Agema and a Dactyl medic, at which point it might be interesting to change the Thorakitai for another Myrmidon Link.

    True, Achilles is fast. And yeah, the V2 option will do something that Myrmidons can’t via ARM6.

    You need good defenses for this and best options are drakios and total reaction bot. They'll bleed opponent orders on capturing yours and you should be able to smoke n shoot a myrm team up the board to grab theirs but you'll need a big gun in there, preferably the hrl of phoenix. Penny isn't a bad option in limited insertion as she's extremely quick and has optional impetuous order to use as well, she'll face less AROs on a limited insertion game and will be more safe to push a flank or last turn mad-dash for the beacon
