It's a bit harder for vAleph and OSS. BTW I'm planning on running an league and was thinking of finally playing Aleph of some flavor as well. Here's what I've come up with for those so far. 150 ────────────────────────────────────────────────── 9 1 SHUKRA (Lieutenant, Strategos L1) MULTI Rifle, Nanopulser / Pistol, CC Weapon.

Well, here's the list I faced in yesterday's game: ────────────────────────────────────────────────── 7 1 ASURA (Lieutenant [+1 Order], Hacker], Hacking Device Plus [UPGRADE: Trinity (PS=4)]) MULTI Rifle, Nanopulser ( ) / Pistol, AP CC Weapon(PS=6). (0 | 64) ZAYIN Rebot Thunderbolt(+1B) / PARA CC Weapon(-3). (0 | 19) LAMEDH Rebot Flash Pulse / PARA CC Weapon(-3). (0 | 7) LAMEDH Rebot Flash Pulse / PARA CC Weapon(-3). (0 | 7) BOUNTY HUNTER Boarding Shotgun, Heavy Riotstopper / Pistol, PARA CC Weapon(-6). (0 | 12) BOUNTY HUNTER Boarding Shotgun, Heavy Riotstopper / Pistol, PARA CC Weapon(-6). (0 | 12) ARJUNA FTO Spitfire, D-Charges / Breaker Pistol, CC Weapon. (1.5 | 29) 1.5 SWC | 150 Points Open in Infinity Army Yes, essentially it is Asura & Friends. Then again, Asura is a tough Lt. and she also became the scenario's special snowflake (Key Ops in Battleground, giving her Tactical Awareness on top of these 2 Lt. Orders). Downside being - if the opponent focuses on Asura, he has a good chance of eventually downing her. I managed to get rid of the TR REM and dealing Asuar a wound with Yuan Yuan's Chainrifle, getting the Arjuna with Bulleteer's spitfire, and handling the two flashpulse bots before my opponent could react. Asura wasnt properly supported then, and while it required some luck (and using smoke to cover myself from Bounty Hunters' AROs), I managed to put Denma Connoly into CC with her. He did short work of Asura, and from there on, it was just a mop-up...
I had originally thought of the Asura too, but Aleph doesn’t have many good cheap troops to back her up. I also like having as man orders as possible. A Shukra is almost a third of the price and has Stratego. Yeah, he’s not as durable but that allows you to take other things. Like taking a Dawon to stay near to take on enemy warbands. The Arjuna is pretty good. A Spitfire is ideal for the table size.
Unfortunately Aleph as a faction is very much "Character + friends" and the problem I can see in not including at least 1 myrmydon is simple: lack of smoke which is the main OSS issue... there is no smoke
