You need dropships. You army looks fun to play, but will lose w/ so many walk ons.

How about this?

In my experience, a Poseidon on a hades is rather pointless. Its range is large enough to not care, its movement on roads is fast enough to get it to a focal point, meaning the dropship simply means it takes longer to to start shooting. Unsure if you agree with that, but I don't see it as worth it. However, I do agree with the other units you have given dropships, but a hyperion in a neptune seems pointless as well, If I go with that change Ill just take an Odin and go crazy.

Split those immortals into two battlegroups, at the minimum - more activations is almost always better

So I've fiddled around with the list, most notably with my AA selection. Scrapped the mercury group to pay for it.

If your Hades is using the road bonus, it's not shooting. Remember your MF on all of your weapons is only 4", same as its normal movement. Moving on roads does NOT increase your MF values.

As far as focal points go, there are several missions where the focal points you want to get to are well across from where you come in (either in the center of the map, in enemy quarters, or in quarters well away from your deployment). In that case your Hades will spend all game running towards them without shooting.
