The battleplan is to stop all those Pick ups with massive S5 Fire. Everything that is tougher should be stopped by my armored interdiction cadre. Longstrike is in an Ionhead because I think that I need him to stop those light armored vehicles more and to bring some S7 fire at turn 1. The Battlewagons must be stopped by my two Railheads. Hop that's enough.

The Pathfinders are classic and must only put some markerlights for the Railheads in the first place.

I bought those Devilfishes for some rapid redeployment. I think those Orcs will reach my lines faster than I want it. But of course the strike teams are there to hold position as long as they can. Maybe I use those Transports just to secure objectives.

The Razorshark should come in on turn 2 I hope. He will bring some more much needed S7 Fire and another blastweapon. My jewel in the list are my remoras. I love them. And I hope they give me the much needed punch and destroy the target that threatens me the most.

Some C&C would be appreciated.

Thanks a lot
Christopher
