Hello! I decided to play Acon this season (from NCA) and while normally I have time to practice and learn my units: I have a tournament soon and won't get a good chance to get a few games in to learn units/what not to do... I fully except to go 0-4. However I figured I would ask the players of the hyper-power for some thoughts to try and work out some kinks and hopefully go 1-3 lol. The missions are as followed (With list and Plan A as followed) Capture and protect, FROSTBYTE, UNMASKING GT List1 ────────────────────────────────────────────────── GROUP 1 9 REGULAR (Sapper) MULTI Sniper Rifle / Pistol, Knife.

(0 | 8) 6 SWC | 299 Points Open in Infinity Army No specialists because I don't care of about objectives and I'm a jerk, basically the same as list 1, but the Tiki for causing problems, oh and the Akal for a backfield opening. This is the list I'm not 100% on, I may want to pull Tik out for a Bagh Harris and adjust for a peacemaker or bulleteer. Feel free to rip apart, I suck at making lists. Thanks in advance, for the hyper-power!
For the first list, I'd drop the Bagh Mari Sniper to an HMG for more active turn punch, drop the Naga Assault hacker to a KHD, drop all Regulars to standard Combis to give yourself some LT clones, then use the 8 points you've gained to buy a baggage bot. That's a full 10 Order in Group 1. I think a Doc will benefit you more than a Machinist too. Acon is a great Sectorial for Doctoring. Second list looks good. I'd probably do the Bagh Mari HMG again, instead of the TR bot. But that's preference, both are solid. I'd sacrifice the Akalis to get a Machinist so that your Tik isn't one-shot by any E/M or Jammers that happen to be on the table. That will give you points to buff Group 2 up to 5 orders. You're on the right track... The changes above are mostly minor. You have a very good grasp of the things that make Acon both strong and fun. Happy hunting.
Thanks for the feedback, I'm definitely will be making the suggested adjustments to list 2, I want to see how my list will do before I change up list 1 but will keep your advice in mind either way...
