Editing Infinity/N3 Tactics/Military Orders (section)

===Heavy Infantry===

This is where the fun starts: the knightly orders. Nearly all of them linkable, most with AVA 4 (although not all of them worth taking 4 of). This is the meat of the sectoral. Knights are all pretty straightforward.

*'''Joan of Arc/2.0:''' Let's start with the poster-girl and obvious Lieutenant. Joan comes in two flavors, a heavier, more support one, with +1 SWC, and a lighter, faster Spitfire option (which also has +1 SWC, albeit eats 2, so it becomes 1 SWC spent). Both profiles linkable with Hospitallers (in the strict Crusade Fireteam, which doesn't allow OS – but Santiago Wildcars are kosher) and any Duos in the sectorial (so Father-Knight and Santiago). The crusading Joan will want a Multi Rifle, while Duo or Solo will run better with a Spitfire. Inspiring Leadership gives you an option to run her solo, activating a pseudo-link with her Lieutenant Order. NWI and MA3 go a long way too. The only "downside" is that you don't have that many Irregular troops to take advantage of Inspiring Leadership, as well as Frenzy.

*'''Equestrian Order of the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre:'''  The Holoprojector 2 knight. Martial Arts 2, DA CCW and a Spitfire (or a Combi + LGL/Breaker Combi option if you're strapped for SWC), Holy Sepulchre makes for a decent solo rambo. However there's another use for him: Chain of Command! Very useful in MO where all Lts are aggressive and expensive, but CoC is also a Specialist profile, which makes good use of his high WIP. Remember you can disguise him as something as lowly as an Order Sergeant, making your opponent bewildered if he kills your Joan and you're not in LoL.
 
*'''Holy Order of Hospitaller Knights of St. John of Skovorodino:''' The biggest Military Order and the most versatile linkable HI in the sectoral, Hospitallers are better, cheaper ORCs when linkable. HMG, MA2 and a Doctor profile make Hospitallers a common choice of main Order. Lost ability to link with Magisters for an Order Sergeant instead, but can fully Core without Joan now. You may want to run a Haris of them as well, considering he's a Doctor. The Lieutenant profile is a bit meh.
**'''Father-Officer Gabriele De Fersen:''' The last Templar, linkable with Hospitallers, De Fersen is a very valid multiple-purpose HI character. Armed with a Spitfire and an Assault Hacking Device, this guy is ready to inflict pain and grab objectives. He's also one of the few knights with MA3 and no Frenzy. And, obviously, has a Templar CCW. Changing his regular HD to AHD in Human Sphere N3 limited his functionality and made "A Knight and His Remotes" list less viable, but he is still one of the best PanO hackers, if costly and vulnerable to KHD.

*'''Magister Knights:''' The go-to Heavy Infantry Core link. Cheap as chips, armed with Panzerfausts and Light Shotguns, and can take a Missile Launcher, making them dominate both long and short range. They can Core solo or count as Teutons (which lets them add an Order Sergeant in), they can also escort a Specialist or just be a cheap source of Fireteam bonuses for your HRL/Spitfire troops. They should not run unlinked.
**Note that since 3O they count as Teutons for fireteam purposes.

*'''Military Order of Father-Kinghts:''' Not actually a knightly Order, Father-Knights are extremely hardy general purpose HI. BTS 9 and WIP 13 make them a pain to hack, Assault and Kinematica lets them close distance to non-CC focused troops quite well. They can also be armed with an ML or take a specialist profile. Lastly, there's native Duo on all profiles, so you can take two Father-Knights riding together. But you'll usually want to link one with either Joan or Order Sergeants. In fact you can fit as many as 3 into an OS link, spice with Santiago/BF/Konstantinos (or the ever present HRL OS) for a hardy Pain Train style link.
**Note that the non-Spitfire Lt. profile is a Forward Observer with an Anti-Materiel CCW. Good choice for a DataTracker, but most people will probably want the Lt. to wield a Spitfire.

*'''Montesa Order Motorized Knights:''' The first biker HI, making Yu Jing forever salty. Montesa are fast, durable and killy, though they have "low" BS 13 and only pack Multi Rifles or BSG, making them feel a little undergunned. Mimetism outsets their inability to take Cover. They're cool, but personally I would use a Bulleteer instead.
** Sectorial gives them an extra profile: Paramedic! Now you have a fast, hard hitting and durable Specialist all in one package.

*'''Sacred Military Order of Knights of Santiago:''' Santiagos gone Wild! The 360 visor knights have only 3 profiles, all of them Specialists (one very valuable KHD) and Wildcard! Expect to see them a lot. Too bad they lost the BSG profile as now the box has one useless model. They also have native Duo to run alongside Joan.
**Due to Wildcard you can put multiple Santiagos in a Magister Knight/"Teuton" fireteam (depending if you take OS or not) and have something like the previous Santiago + Magisters. Or take two Santiago and three Father-Knights for an "OS" Pain Train.

*'''Sacred Military Order of Teutonic Knights:''' Now they can link with Magisters and can Haris, they also have a valuable NCO profile. Which is fine and dandy, but they are still outshined by every other knightly order. That said they're not as useless as they used to be and Teutons are still pretty cheap and handy with a Spitfire.
