	First think about what Core Team you want to use. Bring Wallace. Stuff in some camo speedbumps and ~~dont~~ forget to bring ap weapons for Tags and HI. Get a few specialists depending on the mission. Fill the rest with stuff to punch your opponent into oblivion. Caledonia is very straight forward with a few tricks up its sleeve. If you keep in mind that u want to use Highlander-Greatswords and tesseum bullets to kill stuff you will be fine.		First think about what Core Team you want to use. Bring Wallace.

	*'''2nd Irregular Cameronians Reg.:''' The Power-Wuffs. Those guys are hard to manage well but powerful as hell. They are mobile and fast thanks to super jump but big. Try to cover them with smoke and get close to Chainrifle stuff dead. They like to hunt chearleader, fireteams of LI and MI. They ~~dont~~ like to many shots fired at them. Try to evade any TR HMGs but always run into everything explosive as they just ignore it thanks to total immunity. They ~~dont~~ cost much so you might take one and thanks to Wallace (which you are taking anyway) they could also be called 2nd Regular Cameronians.		*'''2nd Irregular Cameronians Reg.:''' The Power-Wuffs.

If they aren't killing things, they can always be throwing smoke grenades. If only there was a way to fix their irregular order, and make it regular... they are basically better Kuang-Shi with style		*'''45th Highlanders rifles:''' Home of the 6pt Extremely Impetuous smoke grenade, the 45th highlanders offer lots of cheap close range power.

	**'''William Wallace:''' Ol' Willy is back, and is ready to once again marry his claymore with the necks of those brave enough to face him. On the table, William does more for Caledonia by standing by and not dying. As a lieutenant, he offers Inspiring Leadership to the many Irregular orders you could have brought. Additionally, if you aren't giving the fire team to a Grey, he has a really cheap fire-team that can join him. He moves at 6-4, so he screams up the board. In melee he's no slouch, allowing him to repel the Fiday and other attempts at assassination. That is, unfortunately, about where his praise ends. He doesn't have a particularly special gun, he's only got 1 wound, and he isn't packing high armor. With no chain of command available to Caledonia, you can't really play him too aggressively. He's much better at sitting back, and letting his IL make your order pools XBOX HUEG for very little points. Unless he gets a rework, it will probably stay that way. Edit: Lets face it: Bring him. Always. He is your lieutenant and everyone knows it. He makes all your guys regular and is a cheap-ish beast himself. He can lead a special Fireteam Core with the Calwegians. That is a solid fireteam choice. you should use it atleast the first 2 turns as order-generator for your harris and power-wuffs. End of turn 2 split the fireteam and let them go ham in a freedom rush with him leading the charge. If its your last turn ~~dont~~ even bother thinking about loss of lieutenant. I really cant stress that enough. The ability of having everything at regular order in your list is powerful. See warcors and the calwegians themselves for why.		**'''William Wallace:''' Ol' Willy is back, and is ready to once again marry his claymore with the necks of those brave enough to face him.

	*'''McMurrough, Merc. Dog-Warrior:''' In all of this, you are probably thinking to yourself, "Well shit, seems like there isn't really anyone that can tackle the tougher challenges that Infinity has to offer." Things like outshooting Usnagi when she has a 5-link. Things like killing the Avatar. Things like... Bitch-slapping Achilles in a melee fight. Here, I assure you, is your answer to that last one. The others, you are on your own. I did mention, we aren't that powerful. McMurrough is an S5 dog warrior with one heck of a punch. He's the kilt-wearing sonovabitch that got your girlfriend addicted to looking at dog dicks. Long range, he's not that great. In fact, he's shit at long range. But if you let him anywhere near your models, you better hang on. 2 Chain rifles, the usual for a Dog-warrior, higher armor, a better CCW, grenades. But is all that worth the extra 10 pts or so? That's up to you and how your list works. Edit: He isn't called McMurderface for no reason.		*'''McMurrough, Merc.

	*'''The Scots Guards:''' Basically your TAG-Hunters. Kind of every profile has a AP on the weapon. Can be used in a Fireteam. Duos with AP-Marksmanrifles and Molotok are worth considering. Very order Efficient in Tag/HI-Hunting Duty. If you like camo take the 2nd Battalion profile to throw a lot more camo on the board (like u ~~dont~~ have enough of it anyway). 19 Point FO option with DEP is also a good pick if u use some traktor mules aswell. They just bump up the HI kill potential with smart missiles from the mules.		*'''The Scots Guards:''' Basically your TAG-Hunters. Kind of every profile has a AP on the weapon.

	*'''Caledonian Volunteers:''' Just regular line Infantry. Okay-ish in a fireteam but ~~dont~~ waste your core slot on them. With 6pt for a regular order they are a good filler. Their main use (which annoys your opponent into obnoxiousness) is their ability to be a incredible speedbump. Take a few of the buggers (like 4-6) with rifles and inferior infiltration and sprinkle them around the field. You could even take a shotgun or two if you have spare SWC (and you want that sweet +6 from close range shotguns and -3 for your enemy because of suprise shotgun to the face. If you don't have the first turn your opponent will have to deal with them or be annoyed. If they survive you get some extra orders but don't build a list on this as they'll probably die horribly but take away some orders from your enemy. If you have the first turn use a command token on all of them and put the rifle guys in suppressive fire to fuck with your opponent even more. If you fail the infiltration role use them for covering your backlines from protential AD-Jumpern. The females work particularly well for distracting the enemy, as they have miniskirts and wet singlets. And yes, the designers of that miniature probably wanted something to fap to at the time.		*'''Caledonian Volunteers:''' Just regular line Infantry.

	**'''Volunteer Intel Isobel McGregor:''' Kind of a wierd and iffy model in general but ok-ish for the points. Basically only take her on missions with a lot of hacking required as she can handle it ok. E-Mauler is rediculious. If you take her, pay the 3 points for the T2-Rifle those things are always worth it.		**'''Volunteer Intel Isobel McGregor:''' Kind of a wierd and iffy model in general but ok-ish for the points.

Why play Caledonia

Line 7:		Line 7:
	Caledonia represents the Scottish, British, and Welsh that settled on Dawn. They brought with them a dear respect for the old ways of the Clans, congregating into expansive families within the northern reaches of Ariadna's realm. They also happened to primarily settle on the largest deposits of Teseum, a space-age metal that can be treated to become harder than diamond. Mining operations began and continue under their supervision, with the largest clans maintaining hefty coffers of Teseum ingots.

	Caledonia isn't a sectorial for tricksters. It's not a sectorial for people that want to hulk around in power armor, or want to be "kawaii". Caledonia takes those core rules of Ariadna, huge camouflage, huge smoke, big guns, and presents it with Scottish flair. You play Caledonia because you want to paint your family's tartan. You play Caledonia because you want to face your problems head-on, and like to win, with tactics, over top of technologically advanced forces. You play to offer oh-so-many nomad ~~plays~~ a chance to kiss the edge of your claymore.		Caledonia isn't a sectorial for tricksters.

	*'''3rd Highlander Greys:''' Your first non-hackable HI. In general a good choice. They have a good stat-line and shock-immunity (what they really need because hey lol 1 HP) but dogged is nice for going berserk on enemy units. Also they have smoke and regular grenades on ph 13 which is nice. Throwing around nades like a madman is always a thing against fireteams. 2 Light Shotguns take care of the rest if they stand in a line. They always stand in a line. Dogged and Shock-Immunity will bring u in line. They hunt down Fireteams effectivly. Even HI teams are good to bite the dust with the help of the AP-HMG but i wouldnt count on it to be the weapon for everything even though they can handle their shit. They can be in a Haris with Mormaers. Thats were the fun begins though as they put more holes into stuff with heavy armored buddies around them.		*'''3rd Highlander Greys:''' Your first non-hackable HI. In general a good choice.

	*'''Caledonian Mormaers:''' ~~Thats da~~ real MVP. 2 of them in a Haris with a Highlander and they can go to town. Did you know the Haris stands for Harrasment? Thats what they are good at. Having Armor 5, shock-immunity and Dogged they can take a beating. Keep your 112 around to help them survive a little longer. Don't be illusional, they will die but they take alot with them on the way to freedom. T2 Rifle and X-Visor is good for suppressive fire and engaging enemies at longer ranges. AP-HMG speaks for itself.		*'''Caledonian Mormaers:''' That's the real MVP. 2 of them in a Haris with a Highlander and they can go to town. Did you know the Haris stands for Harrasment?
