So the idea behind this list, is having one pod go in @ turn 1 to take out whatever scary super heavy. The metal boxes to go forward with marines to cap points. Bikes act as beacon for suicide termies and grav pod to come in turn 2/3/4; also as suicide units to eat overwatch and impede enemy movements. With 2 mobile locator beacons on bikes, pods with beacons, and captain with angelis, i can drop the termies and grav pod where it needs to go without scattering. If the captain runs into some crazy deathstars I can just teleport other units to him.

Thoughts?
