Help with limited insertion list

The list looks pretty solid to me. However, I'd be really tempted to squeeze in a Jannisary Akbar doctor, as the Al Fasid's got a Cube, so you can risk those WIP 14 rolls to heal him back up to full wounds thanks to the possibility for a reroll that the Cube offers.

I'd also rather have a killer hacker than one basic hacker and one assault hacker. The Barid Hacker is a very obvious lieutenant choice in this list. Sure, he's great, but in Limited Insertion, defending your deployment zone is very difficult. I wouldn't risk using the Barid as lieutenant in those circumstances. Plus, the Barid killer hacker is excellent, too, due to his awesome Lightning program.

 

Yeah when it comes to limited insertion and vanilla Haqqislam, there is only one LT I take, Saladin. But the list does look pretty solid.

Its hard to make recommendations without totally spoiling what you are going for. Realize that if you take the Nasmat attached to the Tuareg, that the Tuareg can not hidden deploy otherwise you render the Nasmat useless since they have to deploy at the same time.

 

The two main issues I see on your list are a)You have two fiday models w/o Saladin synergy and b) the main rambo piece has an HMG which overlaps with the djanbazan's own weapon. Also the lonely nasmat w/o a deployed medic on the table tells the enemy outright that you have a tuareg doc in the shadows. This is my take on 10 order lists:

Vae Victis!

The list is pretty simple: advance with Tarik while you cover his advance with the djan + smoke trick. Kasym is my choice of smoke provider because he is regular impetuous and also packs a panzerfaust and a EXP CC weapon. With 8-6 mov he can go anywhere he's needed. Al-Djabel is pretty self-explanatory.

The Lasiq is a solid ARO piece who can reach a good sniping spot with her climbing+ and her viral ammo is a real threat to anyone.

On the infowar department we enlist the best killer hacker we have at our disposal, the barid, who also carries a pitcher. A Rafiq rem also gives a bigger repeater range, a cheerleader and also an efficient way to discover cammos. With all this coverage, the Tuareg hacker can keep at bay any pesky HI with ease.

The farzan CoC is around because Tarik is really vulnerable on ARO and ends up dying sooner or later. The most arguably spot on the list is the Jannisary Akbar-Doc, but you can downgrade him to a ghulam doc + 1 or 2 nasmats and use the spare points elsewhere.

Hope it helps :)

 

Pretty sure only his Lt profile is regular.

 

I think that Ixidro ment that Kasym's Impetuous is a "regular" one, normal one, and not "extreme" - which makes a big difference. And is the most important advantage of Kasym for me too :)

And about Haqqislam in LI - I think that we have a bit tougher time against different LI armies, because Haqq depends more on cheap and light infantry, like Daylamis with Panzerfausts, Ghazis etc. We don't have the best rambo units, our soldiers are usually a bit worse than PanOs/YJ/Aleph and the rest in the terms of BS et cetera.
I played a tournament in North Poland last sunday at 333pts LI, I was fighting with Maggie, Tarik, Kasym, Tuareg AHD, 2 Barids (KHD/AHD), Doc, Kaplan Eng, Farzan CoC and Jethro (we decided to use Outrage profiles because of the X-Mas coming ;) ).
It didn't go too well, I won first battle against MAF, then lost against ASA and ISS. I finished 9 with 13 players, but to be honest, I should won the second battle vs ASA, but I was too fair play as an organizer and let the enemy change his last moves after he figured out, that my AHD can Control his TAG (what happened).

I mean, redundancy brings consistency and that's a good thing to have, but in limited insertion you don't have the room. Each order you include has it's purpose set in stone.

Hmm... If I had to roll double fiday for scoring points, I'd go with double minelayer frofile and try to bleed out orders from enemy's pool just by dealing with both mines and IMP state. But definetly you'll have to teach me a lesson or two on how to keep them alive till endgame

You are correct, sir. In fact, at first I was skeptical ("Zuleyka or chain Kum are cheaper and also fit the role..."), but after reading your comments of praise I decided to field Kasym out. And man, glad I did.

 

Keep in mind that double minelayer Fidays are only available in HB who don't have Slaladin (although since the context of it was "who need Saladin anyway").
Otherwise your second fiday is Al-Djabel who doesn't have mines.

This post was not intended to insult anyone's intelligence, I just tend to do it accidentally when I struggle to find a relevant thing to post.

 

Besides the points made, I miss a little more Anti Armor weaponry. In LI you will face a lot of HI and Tags.

 

If your able to go QK I would suggest QK. A full Jan link team, double FO infiltrators, and a Sekban Haris is strong.

 

I like that idea for an HK LI list.

What models are you using for the Hawwa FOs?

 

There are literally 2 Hawwa models... so if I will bring 3, I use the Tuareg Sniper from the Haqq starter as the third Hawwa. So your options are: 3 FO, 3 AHD, Hawwa hacker as hacker the rest as FO, hawwas as hackers, tuareg as FO, etc...

 

I've got a few 10 order lists that I'm toying with.

I agree with others Saladin is hard to pass up in this format with cheap Strategoes. Just need to protect him or take CoC. He is not essential however.

On the protection side Fasid can help with minelayer. Which is good as I Luke this trooper and HI in general.

Which leads to me thinking Haqq could do well with multiple HI and Akbar doc. Reviving multiple targets to full wounds sounds boss.

 

A Farzan is a good specialist for the middle field, and an inexpensive CoC. As for the Akbar doctor combo... Fasid + Akbar is close to 100 points! Sure thing, is impressively good if the enemy doesn't manage to send the Fasid from 1 wound to totally dead (2 wounds in one go), but you are paying more than a Maghariba, more or less the same cost of a Sphinx... and more than an Asura+Sophotect. So careful there!

 

Point is with LI you have those points. I've run 10 order lists with with 2 Azra'il and a Fasid or Tarik plus Akbar. Needs some refining but has legs for sure. Janissary Doc is a strong specialist also.

for console (and partially for direct action) goodness!!! The 'hawwa can do almost any secondary, the Tuareg can do others... and mess an enemy Total Reaction with some luck (get really close to it, surprise shot inside the 20cm/8'' area and enjoy that -12), the Farzan can also capture objectives... and then you have Al Djabel as an insider (or a 31pts Fiday and you can change the Djanbazan from ARO/sniping duty to HMG rambo), whom the Tuareg can recover in a pinch, the Fasid+Janissary combo, Saladin for that 10th regular order, a Warcor for ARO support, and a Ghulam doctor

 

I'm guilty of not seeing past 11 order goodness but you highlight the use of Strategoes to still keep 10 orders while using an Irregular troop.

 

Or an AD troop! Also please note that list will start with 8 regular orders because of the Tuareg ^^
