===Light Infantry=== *'''Dactyls:''' Mid cost specialist unit with either Doctor or Engineer options. All of them come equiped standard with V:Dogged, Combi Rifle, and dual Breaker Pistols. There are options with D-Charge and ADHL, or an Engineer with Flammenspeer. Dactyls are very light with ARM1, and no defensive barriers like camo or ODD. However, they are a unit determined to get the job done thanks to V:Dogged, BS12, and a very competent WIP13. Besides the Flammenspeer option, they are short ranged, but have an answer for any enemy. If you need an extra Doctor or Engineer and have the points, Dactyls are a great choice. **'''Acmon, Sergeant of Dactyles:''' Acmon is currently the only Dactyl character. He has the Fireteam:Enomotarchos Skill meaning he can form a team with Dactyls. Acmon himself is a WIP14 Engineer, armed with Combi Rifle, dual Breaker Pistols, and a Panzerfaust, Acmon is a very strong gunfighter who packs a punch for a very reasonable cost. **'''Enomotarchos:''' The Dactyl Fireteam will require Acmon and/or Hector. This is a specialist team. Besides Acmon's Panzerfaust and the Dactyl's Flammenspeer -both 2 use weapons- the team is very short ranged. They will rely on Smoke Grenades from Myrmidons to move forward. It's a good idea to include at least 1 Dactyl Doctor to maintain their survival. Also the team is not as expensive as Myrmidons. If Hector is leading the Fireteam, the Dactyls are his support. They keep him alive and Hector takes them to the Objectives. *'''Ekdromoi:''' They are the AD troopers of the Steel Phalanx. Mid-High cost unit with a great profile stats. Super Jump gives them extra mobility. They have a good and fairly cheap specialist option with an Assault Hacking Device. Martials Art L3 means they also have Stealth and Courage. However. After he causes a wound, the Ekdromoi will go Impetuous due to Frenzy. **'''Diomedes, Ekdromoi Officer:''' Diomedes is one of the few AD troops in the game with NWI which effectively gives him a second wound. He drops in armed with either a Mk12 or MULTI Rifle, Nanopulser, Assault Pistol and DACCW. Like the generic Ekdromoi, Diomedes also has Frenzy, Super Jump and Martial Arts L3. All this is reflected in his high points cost. Diomedes excels at sneaking around and destroying the enemy backfield, and/or dominating zones in ITS missions like Frontline and Quandrant Control. *'''Thamyris, the Aoidos:''' Thamyris is a very competent WIP14 BTS3 hacker. Though extremely short ranged with only an Assault Pistol and Nanopulser, he brings a regular Hacking Device and Pitcher to extend his hacking influence. Even with NWI, he's a pretty soft target. Let the rest of the army do the dirty work, and Thamyris can add hacking support from the back until he needs to run and grab objectives. *'''Drakios, Steel Phalanx's NCO:''' Drakios is a great rambo piece who can deploy with 1-2 Devabot Kydoimos, which are just Devabots with Albedo. He's expensive but brings a lot of firepower with a lot of reach with those Devabots. The Red Fury is a choice weapon. **Just a little reminder: Martial Arts would normally give Stealth, but the Devabots do not benefit from it. **Keep Free Agent in mind as well. **Remember! G: Synchronized units and their User cannot participate in a Coordinated Order *'''Scylla, Steel Phalanx's NCO:''' Scylla can also take 1-2 Devabots. She's an average gunfighter and only carries a Boarding Shotgun and Nanopulser. However, she is a strong specialist and hacker because of her WIP13, a variety hacking devices to choose from, and her Devabot Charybdis which is a Devabot with a Repeater. She brings a massive hacking area for herself and other hackers. In HSN3, she gained a Kilker Hacking Device option which allows her to Cybermask both herself and her bots which can help her up the board and potentially lead up to a big Surprise Shot attack or hacking attack. Even still, look out for enemy hackers using her own Devabot repeaters to attack Scylla. Don't bother with the E/M CCW. **Remember! G: Synchronized units and their User cannot participate in a Coordinated Order *'''Andromeda, Sophistes of the Steel Phalanx;''' Andromeda has good stats. She's a Specialist Operative. Despite having short ranged weapon options, Forward Deployment L1, Mimetism and Stealth help keep her safe. All that plus NWI for a decent price. Unfortunately she's fat at S4 making her a much wider target to spot. This is all thanks to Guardian L3, which isn't all that spectacular. *'''Warcor:''' Cheap and Irregular 3pt WIP13 Flash Pulse dude. Take them if you got a few points left over. Don't underestimate how useful they are as an ARO piece. Sure Yudbots could be useful for those 3pts, however, your Doctor/Engineer is likely to be in a fireteam and it's better that way.
