Firefight against Scots

Moira HMG should be able to kill whatever in a Scots army without getting in danger.

Generally speaking, Caledonia has hard-hitting weapons, but can't do a whole lot to win rolls. They do not like ODD, Neurocinetics, Smoke + MSV2, or Total Reaction.

 

I really prefer the Intruder because smoke grenades ignore ODD.

 

To much smoke in my personal opinion.
Waht do you want to do with all the orders in the second pool?

Heres my suggestion for an List

As ariadna player I can tell you that what Caledonia dislikes the most is MSV2. This is the most smoke heavy army in Ariadna (and I'd assume in entire game by extension) and nothing disrupts the plan like MSV2 sniper somewhere on the back. Also be prepared for Uxia because no good caledonia (or even vanilla Araidna) list is going to be made without her - hide your lieutenant. All kinds of direct template weapons works decently well, especially in defense (Caledonians have high very PH but it is even more obnoxious when they can boost it by +3 from the smoke - thats where direct template weapons comes in handy).

Someone else said that Caledonians struggle against Total Reaction and ODD/TO. That's only partially true. Reason for that being all abundance of smokes that can deal with TR bots while having normal grenades on almost everything in addition to MASSIVE order pools, does help quite a bit against ODD/TO while doing speculative fire.

 

Caledonia also has really pts efficient heavy firepower but in my experience that often depends on a few elite troops linked with chaff, like a Grey HMG in a volunteer team. Eliminate the elite troops and the teams are much less effective.

I reckon Perseus is probably pretty good against CHA actually. Lots of weapons that hit BTS, ODD and good in CC so not as vulnerable to getting rushed.
