Thank you for the insight! If I can find the time, I will try running both of those list styles a few times and see what I personally enjoy more.
This list is fantastic. It fits in all the pieces I've been trying to make fit, nicely within 6 SWC/300 pts. When playing, is the Brawler LT in the Druze link, with Valerya following? Or are the Brawlers a FT:DUO in overwatch?
That's the thing, you get to decide that at deployment so you can pick and choose based on what you need, or what threats you face.
This is not uncommon when using a unit for the first couple of times. I only uses the HSG one frequently so the advice I will give you is for that model. They make great Reserve units if you are going first or second. Functionally, Peacemakers often end up as order soaking speed bumps. A Peacemaker can earn it's keep without ever costing an order as it is a nasty bit of work to get a well positioned one off of the table if it has to be engaged face to face. If you are going second they need to be placed out of line of fire and behind terrain and corners where the shortest paths leading to them forces anything attempting to kill them to face the HSG in it's +6 band. Also the flamethrower should be placed so that enemy units have to go through it first, but also can't plant templates off of it to hit the Peacemaker from out of LoF, if possible. Remember it also has a repeater, so TAGs and HI are going to have a tough time engaging it up close if you have the proper hacker support. It's repeater and speed also allows it to push up and let the hackers try to spotlight through it. Offensively, the Peacemaker is Bayram's low cost Rambo. It can rush the Auxbot forward and roast fireteams, or use it to soak up disposable defenses like Koala's and Mines. With marksmanship the HSG is hitting on equivalent BS21 versus units in cover within 8" and laying a bigass shock template. The Peacemaker isn't very durable, but it is cheap, so Kamikaze runs with it are totally acceptable if the damage done gets rid of key units, or takes out enough orders. Here is a very good write up @TheDiceAbide did on Peacemakers: https://www.thediceabide.com/blog/2018/2/14/infinity-unit-review-peacemakers
It's also good to field other forward deployed units to cover the approach to the Peacemaker, so it's not out on its own in front of the rest of your force. One or two Hunzakuts are perfect for this, and of course a hidden Saito can exploit it even more.
I ran this list and really liked it. Played Frontline versus the new JSA. I won the roll and chose deployment. Counter deploying with Overclock was very effective, but the star of the show was the AROing Clipper. Only one Hunzakut worked out in a mission that didn't require much as far as specialists, I think this one is on my short list of go-to lists when it's appropriate for the scenario.
