I really struggle with the idea of Limited Insertion. Things are changing with the 15 order cap and all, but Infinity to me has always been about a few things (screening units, penetrating screening units, pressing buttons) and those things are all the things that limited insertion sucks at. So just wondering if some kind forum-goers could post up their limited insertion lists? Ideally ones that are tried and tested and bonus points if they are not built around a TAG. If you want to be really nice you could give a run-down on how to use it too! To get us started is my Avatar/Speculo scumbag list (sadly I don't have an effective non-TAG list). I've never really run into a "bad matchup" using this list in the way I have with out limited insertion lists, and feel like it has a huge skill ceiling despite its (earned) reputation of being cheesy filth - and on the contrary, if you suck like me you can get blown the fuck out so badly from a poor decision. You only have limited pieces, but if you use them right they can destroy anything. Many of my most enjoyable games have been with this list or a variant thereof; Spoiler Balls Deep 2: Electric Boogaloo ────────────────────────────────────────────────── 10 1 AVATAR Lieutenant (Strategos L3) MULTI HMG, Sepsitor Plus / DA CCW.

(0 | 4) 6 SWC | 298 Points Open in Infinity Army The Avatar is a turret and source of strategos and bullshit free orders more than an active combat unit in many games. The sheer power of impersonation, smoke, and strategos means that usually I am using the Speculo Killer to do much of the damage and not needing to risk the Avatar. Of course, there are games where the big guy needs to come forward and smash some face, but I generally find that his Sepsitor is pretty bad and makes him quite vulnerable. Since the list skimps on an engineer (usually it's isolated, and so engineer does not play nicely with Mnemnomica) bringing him up is not a decision to be taken lightly. The Noctifier was a huge shift in list design, in that it gave the list solid game going second (that WIP 17 LT roll is totally a trap). There are a number of units you could trade it out for, notably a Q-Drone for a different ARO option or various SWC equipped units as an alternative attack piece. I chose the Noctifier over those options because the original list was pretty much all in on going first, and the Avatar's ARO was not enough to deter another all-in first turn list from just stomping my shit when I lost the WIP roll (this list has lost far more initiative rolls than it has won). The Q Drone was better than the Noctifier against weak things (which usually have smoke to bypass it anyway), but worse against strong things, and it was usually something pretty strong coming to take on the Avatar. That assault pistol combined with dogged and TO makes him solid at attacking at close range, but a single shot missile with clunky rangebands means he's not my first choice for going on the offensive. Malignos is the mandatory anti-hacker support, as well as an alternative attack angle deployed in the midfield. This loadout is absolutely pushed and definitely one of the better killer hackers we get access to. I actually don't like the SMG on him, if the prices were remotely balanced and the option existed I would love to have a combi instead. There is a good argument to trade him out for a Caliban CoC and take an Engineer - you'd lose the direct anti-hacker ability but keep the forward deployed attacker and be able to repair an unconscious Avatar. The Krakot fills a similar role in that he can hunt hackers or jammers and deploys forwards. The Seed Soldier is our crappy foxtrot equivalent - a forward deployed, camo shielded button presser. Less flexible in abilities and in deployment but fills the same niche. The mine ability is a legitimate consideration in his placement especially when going second. The list penetrates defensive screens via the deployment ability of the speculo combined with strategos, or using the power of the Avatar to cleanse a path up the board. Defensively, we lack roadblocks and so rely on the strong ARO capability of the Avatar or the surprise attack of the Noctifier. Most lists go slow seeing -1.5 SWC and a gap in your army, and these two weapons can usually deter a super effective alpha strike. As a last line of defense the Krakot can be placed near the Avatar to deter close in attacks. For buttons, thats the weakest point of the list. Expensive specialists just don't scale up. We have two button pressers that start up the table and a last ditch one in the TAG (these are so clunky to use I don't recommend it). Just can't really get any better in this area without sacrificing an important piece. Generally, when I play this list I just kill shit and then figure out the objectives later. Eh who am I kidding thats with every list. Thats probably part of the reason I don't get top placings anymore, but a better objective player could probably take it to strong results.

So that's my favourite Ramah Task Force list - Jump Around ;) Not saying the best, but fun and fitting my style.

I find you need to have a plan for certain units. Below is an old list I used to play and could use some optimization with newer units. But the idea is that Fidays are order hogs and you need to plan for it. This list is best for controlling zones, preferably where points are counted at end of each turn. The basic plan is to hopefully go first, use your Fidays aggressively. Then end your turn with a coordinated suppressing fire order. The Halqas and Al Fasids are ideal for this. I find the Halqas are underplayed because you get to start the game with all you rchearleaders in zones before the game starts, effectively saving orders grabbing the zone. This leaves you with more orders for you Fidays. Also it forces your opponent to dig them out before going for offensive units. The al fasids are big enough to retake most zones by themselves in late game. The djanbzan is always good as counter Camo, and can take advantage fidays smoke.

Tried and true for certain, this list had been played at Gateway Gauntlet and i4 Invasion (where I took 3rd). I have played it or some variation of it for i'd say roughly 35%-40% of my tournament matches since I started Tunguska last summer. It's truly one of my favorite all-time lists, not just for Tunguska. I've played it into 20 order lists before and done pretty well, sometimes not though. Deployment is key and so is understanding that you are going to be down orders and expensive units, so positioning is everything. I have come back in Frontline (at Gateway Gauntlet) after getting ALPHA'd down to 3 hollow men and Perseus on the table, only to have Raoul drop in pull it back for a major. Of course the next game I got rolled by Dashat... so it is what it is. Allstars ────────────────────────────────────────────────── 9 1 HOLLOW MEN Spitfire, Chain-colt / Breaker Pistol, Knife.

But I lose my full T2-Shutgun-Grey-Pain-Train... :D McM is to often in No-Ariadna-Lists that I also lost the fun for him ...in the past.
This is a variant of one of my favourite LI lists. It is built specifically to be resilient (as resilient as Limited Insertion gets) when going second. So far it has worked quite well.

Even If I go second and lose a couple of orders, it still hits like a ton of bricks to the face. If I go first... have fun counter deploying against both Achilles and the Marut! This one is not built to be resilient and could collapse like a card house, but it is, on occasion, hilarious.
