I was reading some of the A Primer on Massed Armour Tactics, And I was wondering if any body had some success with it? I was thinking of trying it with my NCA units.
NCA can do limited insertion heavy infantry really well because the swiss guard is probably the best HI in the game. I don't love playing limited insertion lists against lists with 15+ orders, but NCA does is particularly well. A fusilier core is hard to break if you deploy them carefully and don't over expose them. It's also good for hiding your LT. Add a doctor and an engineer and you're left with enough room to field an Aquila HMG, Swiss HMG, and Swiss AHD. The three HI workhorses can tackle just about anything. It does suffer from the same thing that most LI lists do: as soon as you start losing key pieces, things can fall apart quickly. Use the camo state and covering fire from fusiliers to protect your heavy assets.
well, I mean, I wrote it, so yeah Ive had a lot of success with the ideas I talk about in there ;) Took me to my first top table showing at a tournament (in what was I think my second ever tournie)
Sorry! I knew you had success with it, I wanted to know if others did, and how would it work with NCA?
Yes I had success with it multiple time in NCA, ASA, MO and Generalist. Not tried it yet in VIRD though.
A list like this?

Like that. There are risks, but limited insertion forces you to make tough choices and accept risks. A marker state is incredibly powerful, especially in limited insertion when players are less likely to bring sensor. I actually prefer assault hackers to killer hackers in limited insertion because I find some many lists with tags and heavy infantry core teams. I see nothing wrong with 3 hmgs. They are really good. Burst 4-5 sins gunfights. Damage 15 kills things. If you don’t like hmgs and want something different, both lists below are good. I don’t like bringing an Aquila guard with a multi rifle though. He just feels over priced and inefficient.
