I'm trying to put down a list for running The Grid using the Steel Phalanx (also trying to see if I can do something better with Vanilla, but I don't have much experience running Aleph Vanilla) and this is what I came up with. The idea behind it is being able to designate (Forward Observer) and destroy (Feuerbach) the antennas from the distance, and being able to move around with minimum order expenditure, but I'm not sure how this would behave. It would be the first time for me using low cost cheerleader to actually accomplish stuff instead of cheerleading/AROs. Any feedback is appreciated!

I just wonder about your netrod positionning. Shouldnt you put them both in group 1 and put all myrm in group 2 ? Same order count for all groups, but if you ever lost some myrm in G2 you can use a single token to reform a full link, whereas you would have to either move a myrm first (1 token) then reform the link, or stay with an understaffed link. You would have even the option to build two 3-men myrmidon links if, given your opponent and your table, you think having 2 groups would be a better choice than a single one with SSL2.
Makes sense, I put them in the big pool as I thought it would be better to have more spare orders to use them to provide smoke cover to the thorakites without stealing too much from the myrm link. But thinking about it I could just move the Alke link to group 2 and the Myrm link to group one achieving the same result more or less.
