I'm not usually big on posting lists, but I was having fun kicking around an idea for a PanO list that had as many (or more) Drones than people. I expected it to be a small list, like when you put together a TAG list, but it turned into a monster.

Right now I'm just kicking around if it's viable. My first writeup had 3 Fusilier Hackers in it for defensive measures... and then I realized 1) That was overkill, and 2) They suck.

So I went with my favorite PanO Hackers, the Kamau. They're better in every way. They have armor, they look cool, have better Willpower (13), and most importantly, are BTS -6. Almost any Hacker out there will think twice about trying to fry a Kamau hacker. It even makes them survivable against Viral weapons, if that ever came up.

BTS-6... awesome.

So that, plus having a second hacker on the table (can throw a +3 at my hacking Attempts if need be), and Icebreaker from my EVO Remote makes me very dangerous to the enemy.

And then there's the Guided Missiles.

I don't have any Hacking Device +'s... but I have the Auxilia who have Forward Observer, and they have those neat little bots that they can sent off to do their job for them... so I'm thinking that could be fun.

Thoughts?

I really like that list!

Well done - though I hear fine tuning a list is.... frowned upon in certain circles.

I just think of it as getting the most out of what I have! Kinda like how it bugs people when they have leftover SWC and whatnot.

The feel you get from Infinity rewarding good tactics is great, but there's nothing wrong with building a list based on the tactics that one wants to use. My Tactic happens to be fast death-robots and guided missile Hell.

I was leaning the same way, although with yu jing. I was actually going to try to build a list but my Internet sucks so bad it's taking forever to load the army builder!

Do the remotes, drones, bots etc generate orders?

Pretty much everything but the Palbots generate orders. So all in all I have 13 orders, plus the Lieutenant order. But because I have two different groups, the order pool is split. The five orders I get from Team 2 are to get the Auxilia in place, so they can mark targets for the Clippers to pound. The Hackers hang back with one of the Sierra bots, so the Total Reaction drone can protect them from any nasty drop troops. Everything else is free to go out and mess stuff up!

This is a really cool idea, tell us how it goes!
