    Ok so this is my next mission. I thought I'd show what i'm taking and we can discuss how Dahshat works with this mission.

    We have
    2 Veterans: Hulang, Al Faseed
    5 Characters (vets) Valerya, Sforza, McMurough, Togan, Ashcroft
    3 Doctor: Ghulam, Brawler, 112
    3 Engineer: Dozer, Brawler, Najarun
    4 Hackers: Valerya, Brawler, Zhencha, Ghulam
    5 FOs: Zuyong, Zhencha, Hunzakuts, Rafiq, Ghulam
    4 HI: Al Faseed, Hulang, Zhencha, Zuyong
    0 MI, Elite, CoC

    Good troops with multiple abilites
    Valerya: Hacker, Veteran
    Al Faseed: HI, Veteran
    Zuyong: FO, HI
    Zhencha: FO, Hacker, HI
    Hulang: HI, Veteran

    I think i'm going with a Bounty Hunter theme for this. Taking Miranda, Sforza, ABH. etc. I like that I can make so many different fireteams.

    I'd take traktor muls (if I had them) or Flash pulse bots, but I feel that with this mission I need to cover a lot of bases. Dahshat has very few troops that can do more than about two cards. I wish there was more secret objectives that anyone could do but there isn't. The Zhencha is the only one that could possible accomplish a few. I've also have been having a hard time with too many Irregular orders. I'm going to stop going first because it really hurts to have two orders taken out of any pool.

    BTW I was thinking of having Sforza, disguised as a regular SMG bounty hunter.

    Also, please add your counter measures list and how you deal with it.

    @Space Ranger I have to come clean here, my comment was mostly tongue in cheek

    The Hunzakut might be particularly useful because in addition to FOing stuff, they could drop repeaters for Valerya.

    I'd generally avoid this because it will be obvious that he's Sforza after deployment when he doesn't roll booty like all the other ABHs.

    One of the best parts about Countermeasures is that you don't necessarily have to cover everything; you get to discard a card at the start of your turn, so if there's something you simply can't accomplish you can always bury it and get something better. That gives you a lot more freedom in listbuilding and it's more forgiving of gaps in your list or ones that develop over the course of play.

    In my mind, Dahshat's all stars in Countermeasures are:
    - Valerya Gromoz: Does all the Hacking and Veteran objectives and is an obvious pick for Datatracker. Loves the extra order as well.
    - Zhencha Boarding Shotgun: Hugely reliable way to accomplish Sabotage and Follow-up, as well as the ability to do any of the FO objectives.
    - Ghulam fireteams: Fit Doctors, Hackers, and FOs on the cheap, and can even host a character or two. Probably not your primary avenue but at WIP14 they make beautiful back-ups for a number of classifieds.

    There's lots of reasons to include a number of other pieces, but I think those will make the majority of your lists in Countermeasures. With that in mind here's what I'd probably field for the mission:


    Countermeasures

    The breakdown:
    - Zuyong and Rui Shi as attack pieces.
    - Ghulam Core as ML/Flash Pulse ARO bunker plus backup specialists.
    - Zhencha and Hunzakut as "midfield" skirmishers. With the Zhencha I'll probably try an Infiltration roll to deploy in the enemy table half more often than not.
    - McMurrough for McMurrough things. Obviously good for Predator but also nice for Capture, Kidnapping, and Net-Undermine. Reliable smoke makes a lot of things easier, as well.
    - Red Fury Rafiq as swing attack/classified piece.
    - Valerya as the intended Datatracker. Even with nothing to do she can use the free order to Supportware the remotes.
    - Dozer and Traktor Mul for classifieds and orders.
    - Libertos as ablative ARO crumple zones or potentially attack pieces.

    Well, I took out Sforza. Every time i put him in to a list i end up taking him out.

    So, again I like i can make tons of different teams on the fly. But right now I think Brawler team with MSV2 Sniper. I just got a fig for it so... Then Haris of Zuyong+Rui Shi+Miranda. Duo of Rafiq+ABH.

    I'm really not sure how to split up the groups though.

    BTW I just painted my Zhencha. See here.

    This was my list for countermeasures on limited insertion. I go great success in the tournament using this list on every mission but there are troops I didn't take advantage from.

    The 112 and both HMG
