    I had a fun game of Supplies last night with my Shasvastii, against a pretty strong vanilla Nomads list. I was up against the usual pile of Morans and midfield camo with strong hacker support. My Speculo also decided that walking to the enemy deployment zone was too hard so was starting from my side, meaning that I wasn't stabbing depoyment zone hackers to death under smoke.

    So, I'm curious - what are people's answers to these strong midfield hacking lists? How are you solving the problem.

    Taighas (don't care if they're targeted)
    Shrouded and Caliban (Stealth)

    Sha doesn't really play HI and your TAG has marker state, so I don't think hackers do anything really meaningful versus Shasvastii.

    Make sure your important models are marker state. It's the only real protection.

    Mmm, I'd say we're one of the few sectorials that don't depend heavily on hackable offensive pieces to worry about them tbh.

    Sheskin in LI form is arguably better than HI due to this fact, right? I'd also say you have some brilliant pieces that can straight up kill the mid field, and also thrive off doing so as well. Caliban with stealth MA3 and protheion, eat those Morans/Bandits up. I'm a long time Corregidor player as well, I'd say attacking the midfield with LI units like the above or has been said Taighas is a pretty perfect way of smashing them apart.

    If Sheskiin's HI form cost the same as her LI form, I still wouldn't consider the HI form. At 9 points more, I'm just scratching my head. You can pretend the HI version doesn't exist at all.

    Spotlight is still a PITA and I’ve been using Shrouded Hackers as specialists who are quickly getting their brains melted.

    Could be a scoring requirement for some missions in the future, a la Frostbyte. I've got a feeling we'll be seeing some more armor-favoring missions in the next year or two.

    Spotlight is annoying, but it's basically a cost they pay to make their model have better FtF odds. Unless they have Guided, it's not that big of a deal.

    Shrouded have stealth / camouflage to avoid repeaters in the active and reactive turn. They can also just kill the opponent's hacker in the active turn (via hacking or via shooting). They should not be troopers that have problem with the opponent's hackers, they should be troopers that are a solution to your opponent's hackers.
