Hello everyone, after a stop period me and my friend started to play agin. We are not so very experienced so we did a lot of newbie mistakes, but this is what came out. The battle was very short (at second turn became very straightforward for one side).

(0 | 4) NETROD . (0 | 4) 5.5 SWC | 298 Points Open in Infinity Army I deployed first, i set up quite everything on cover except my spitfire teuton guarding a firelan and the BF snoper on a roof. Starteed good, moved my BF Rocket launcher on a roof and killed on of the two rocket laucher, and with a second orther the other one. I left him too much exposed, and atalanta killed him stright away on his next turn. My sniper got shotted by fauerback, so i had to easly dodge the FB aro that was haunting my teuton. Teuton got the middle of the field, but one them got shredded by a double nanopulser from Myrmidon. Mendoza moved far on the middle, putting uncounscius his infiltrato with grenades. (Can I toss granade in a point i see, not a model but just a point on the table, without accouring in the -6 for speculative?). My turn ends and then he start moving pieces. With His doctor he revive the Myrmidon and the infiltrato, using medikit with range option. Mendoza survived some shots but teuton could not stand submachingun fire and some myrmidon. He killed my BF with rocket using Atalanta, covered by his hacker. Second turn was pretty funny. I moved Mendosa dodging quite the impossible, getting the back of sniper + hacker. Killed the sniper but hacked Isolated me, with Oblivion. Match ended here since his second turn would be quite the total annihilation of me. • Mendoza: liked a lot this trooper • BF: very useful, i need to place them better • Teutonic: best troop so far i played • Trinitarian: i love them but in this battle they did nothing, maybe 2 are too much? • Core fireteam oc croisers. Is very cheap, but i still have to understand how to use it properly. Edit: feel free to post suggestion, impression and hints for make better list and play better. I would like to grow while playng!
I think you should really try to get at least 9 orders in your first group. Mendoza is an order-heavy trooper if you don't want to have to take some unneeded risks. To get the orders you need, I would get your Sniper out of the list and get a Fugazi, two Deactivator Mulebots and the Warcor. With the points left, you can upgrade one Crosier in a Paramedic. These are the easy changes, you could do some more, but it would be more trade-off rather than improvements.
As for your spec fire question, no. It must be placed directly onto the target unless you spec fire. Only target less weapons like smoke grenades can normally ignore this.
