Hi. Beginner here: Largest game played so far is 150: Taking a stab at 300. Let me know what your thoughts are on this proposed list:

Group 1
Lieutenant Reverend Custodier, Combi, Marker (or alternately, a moderator, as I have 1.5 SWC left over)
Prowler ADHL
Zero e-Mauler / Repeater
Zero Forward Observer
Moderator LGL
Moderator
Moderator
Moderator
Moderator

Group 2
Reverend Moira, E/M LGL
Vertigo Zond
Moderator LGL
Reverend Healer
Zero Forward Observer
Sin Eater MK12

Looks fine to me. You can squeeze in a Spitfire onto the Sin Eater if you took a Boarding Shotgun instead of the Combi on the Reverend Healer.

Also be aware you can't get link bonuses on the Spec. Shot moderator LGL.

OK Thanks. The LGL still gets the burst +1 for reactive fire though, correct?

yes indeed.

it gets all the toys but if you want to do speculative fire ever he leaves the link team now.

So as long as you have LOS to your target he is fine.



Tactical Comments - I really REALLY like your concept. Lots of aoe that can also speculative fire along with the smart missile launcher. I think you will do well making the enemy fight on your terms and make him take risks to dislodge your "long bombs" as your list seems content to hide in their holes and toss grenades/missile down field.

Woe to the dude who gets targeted....hmm...maybe if you got 1 more forward observer?

I also second the boarding shotgun healer so you can spitfire the sin eater.

I've incorporated the revision to the healer. Since she's going to be hiding, the boarding shotgun seems like a great swap for a better reactive turn on the sin eater.

The inclusion of the e-mauler zero is because I'm a bit concerned about enemy HI and TAGS. In theory I'd imagine that a full order pool's worth of missiles will do wonders in smashing any TAGs (assuming that the Vertigo zond doesn't die horribly before that). I was thinking about using the Custodier and =spotlight= to mark targets as well, though in hindsight, swapping a zero to take out a hard target seems like a decent exchange since targets you want to kill can always RESET as ARO.

You should put a Moderator with a Spitfire into the link team of five Moderators.
You'll get 8" more in the +3 range and a burst of five in your active turn.

And you might put the link team in a combat group with the other Moderator, that'll give the link team a pretty high maneuverability.

Also (in my opinion) the Sin-Eater with the MULTI Sniper Rifle is the better option he has the highest BS and the massive sweetspot range
combined with his mimetism give him an advantage that outruns his Burst 1 limitation during his active turn in the most cases.
