Can't post in the previous thread, @ambisinister so I'll do it here: Ended up playing Show of Force instead of the Armory. (Lacked proper terrain). I switched out the list and was foolish enough to leave it three points short. I was pretty suprised, but I think keeping the list to 10 orders worked out better than throwing a warcor in a second group and be forced to lose 10 orders.

(0 | 9) 6 SWC | 297 Points Open in Infinity Army I won the roll and chose to go second, hiding every model. My opponent was playing Pan O with a Tikbalang and Swiss Guard. Top of turn one he climbed the TAG around to discover and shoot my hawwa ... and managed to get wounded in the process. He retreated to cover without doing much. Dropped a mine in the process. Bottom of one, my HMG Jan stood and killed Armand le Muet. He then discovered the mine before the whole core team moved up to a panoply. Iguana shot the mine and moved into better cover. Hawwa climbed aroround and shot the TAG in the Back, killing it. He was killed by aro from the Swiss Guard. Turn 2 the same Swiss guard opened up on my fireteam, killing a Hafza HRL and dropping the BSG to unconscious. He returned to marker state at the end of hit turn. Bottom of turn, I healed up with the Akbar (to 4 men) and moved my Yuan Yuan to blast away with the Chain Gun, wounding the Swiss Guard. The Iguana Climbed up and around to finish it off before returning to cover. Turn 3, his guarda de assaulto moved in with no vis grenades to get past my TAG. He didn't have enough orders to outflank me, so he dropped into suppression over the center objective. Bottom of 3, I moved out the Djanbazan and shot the Auxbot from range through a Saturation zone. After that, I shot the Guarda in the back. My TAG jumped down and secured the objective to end the turn. QK Victory 10-0
Honestly? It wasn't too bad. I wouldn't be likely to run it in anything other than direct action, but for the mission we played it was good enough. My opponent was forced to focus on the Core team OR the TAG. Because I was very aggressive with them, he had to focus on the link, which left him open to counter-attack from other vectors. The TAG roamed around with relative impunity. The Janissaires were pretty resilient with the Akbar, which was also a lot of fun. I would not ever run this if a mission required specialists to complete objectives or for missions like rescue. There's not enough to sustain a lot of loss or cross-table movement.
