Absolutely, but there are plenty of factions without hackers. If you suspect there are hidden assault hackers, it may even be worth dropping next...
Garudas popping into repeater nets in transmission matrix is pure evil, if you've already nuked enemy hackers and can just drop supportware...
I think the EVO is a key player in ISS hacking heavy missions. ISS can dominate against most factions apart from maybe Tunguska or Nomads in...
Good summary. Sun Tze also gives you Advanced Command - an extra command token.
Hahaha. It's not that unthinkable. The two pheasants that want to sit in your back field and be a safe CoC choice don't have it: the sniper and...
Actually moving CoC off a lot of pheasant profiles would make the unit much more playable - CoC is a very expensive skill. Or they could add an...
I think the best reason for Forward Observer to not work is that it you use the Forward Observer short skill (which is a BS attack). It states...
Though sensor bots should probably never have triangulate fire forward observed...
Breaking news! Sensor bots can't triangulate fire forward observe! Forward observers in links don't get bonuses!
If the kaeltar didn't have the symbiomates and was available for 21 points with Chain of Command in ISS, everyone would take it. It's a...
But he costs 30 points... for a play that requires your opponent taking the bait? Seems like a long shot. Also how does he respond to a model...
What I'd quite like to see with some of the more expensive units is role consolidation. I find it very hard to fit things like Kanren and...
I think grumbling about it before we've seen the profile is a bit premature. There are all kinds of tricks and easter eggs that can get thrown...
I totally agree, you can win the mission without using a TAG. In fact, when I brought scarface to play those missions I found he was more...
Riffing off that and the whole thread in general, I guess this Bao and Zhanying themed list is fairly appealing: [img] Bao Core & Zhanying Haris...
I'd rather just have some special mission rules acknowledging Su Jian as scoring units in TAG focussed missions. ISS has it's own answer to to...
I agree. Still off topic but I'm leaning more towards the heavy shotgun Su Jian in my ISS builds these days, because I think the synergy between...
Heh... there are only a few builds that work like that, but you'd have something like this for direct action games. Hard to pack specialists in...
Yeah, I see the appeal of the two TR bots and two orders. The Yan Huo is BS 14 and ARM 5, so significantly harder to remove - even a -12 MOD lets...
But if you had 60+ points spare for your second group... why aren't you doing this? [img] Imperial Service...
