still early in my playing the game. But finding MSV opponents tough- which they should be I guess. My current strategy is kill them- but sometimes easier said than done. Anything better to try?
Your opponent isn't likely to bring more than a couple (unless they're playing morats with a full MSV2 fireteam core D:), so figure out what they are and focus on playing around them. Also, make sure you have attack pieces who don't care about MSV. If you're playing a list with 2 Oniwabans, you really need something shooty to take down MSV units. In JSA, this is usually your Haramaki missile launcher, or the Karakuri (total immunity makes multi snipers pretty useless). Also, if you can get close enough, MSV just doesn't matter. A Bao Sniper with MSV2 is still going to lose a roll against a Boarding Shotgun on an Oniwaban (1 pistol shot against 2 boarding shotgun blasts), and he's almost certainly going to lose in CC -- and hell, the Bao is better at CC than a lot of snipers are. Marker state is your friend for moving around in the active turn because they're forced to use their ARO to discover instead of shooting at you.
Thanks. I think it was just bad luck against that Tohaa MSV sniper- But I thought it was MSV 2 but I see now it is 1 Triad and basically 3 wounds was tough. And my dice were not my friend.
