	*'''Anaconda:''' The toughest fire support you can field in the army and a decent, cheap light TAG. ITS Season 11 decided to give TAGs ~~Tactical Awreness and~~ a +1 to their damage so this thing's spitfire hits like an HMG, and its HMG profile hits even harder, not to mention the HFT and panzerfaust. Most of your guys are cheap and make great chearleaders for a TAG - worth considering.		*'''Anaconda:''' The toughest fire support you can field in the army and a decent, cheap light TAG.

	*~~This might be the only army that considers taking the~~ Anaconda. Consider the HMG profile over the spitfire to keep it away from mid-field threats - it's squishier than most TAGs, evaporates into an Operator at two wounds. The spitfire isn't a slouch, but just be aware of the risk.		**ITS11 and some recent changes have added a few new items to this old workhorse. All TAGs now get Tactical Awarness by default in addition to their built-in Fatality 1. The Anaconda is still overpriced, but is better than it was. Consider the HMG profile over the spitfire to keep it away from mid-field threats - it's squishier than most TAGs and evaporates into an Operator at two wounds, denying your engineers a chance to repair it. The spitfire isn't a slouch, but just be aware of the risk.
	**'''Operator:''' Bad news is that she's not a Specialist; good news is that she's got a decent ARM and BTS (by Merovingian standards) and lands on the board with a spitfire when she bails from her TAG... which she might survive as well. Furthermore, being an Operator (and lacking the Pilot skill) means that she retains season 11's Tactial Awareness and continues generating orders in place of her TAG. Additionally, the operator holds all of a TAG's victory points, so until the operator is dead, she counts for the full points of her mech.		**'''Operator:''' Bad news is that she's not a Specialist; good news is that she's got a decent ARM and BTS (by Merovingian standards) and lands on the board with a spitfire when she bails from her TAG... which she might survive as well.

	Operating the majority of the exports for planet dawn, the Merovingenne, troops notible for being French, are FAR better equipped than most other Ariadna troopers. X-Visors, leftover Viral Weapons, and TONS of special deployment are in store for the commander of an F.R.R. team. They are, for the most part, the least "Ariadna" troops in Ariadna, having many specialists that deploy mines and carry interesting weapons.

	The basics to start with any army is to generally pick up the starter pack(s). There's the Ariadna starter pack from which you can scavenge and then there's the Merovingian starter pack which is more helpful. At the very least, the Merv pack has lots of Metros for your infiltrating shenanigans.		The basics to start with any army is to generally pick up the starter pack(s).

At the very least, the Merv pack has lots of Metros for your infiltrating shenanigans.

	From there, '''choose a core team.''' The big choice will be between ~~Lou~~-Garou or Briscards though Moblots is an okay choice too - do NOT pick Metros! From there, it's just a matter of shoring up that core's weaknesses. If you chose Garou, you're gonna need specialists; if you picked Brics, you're gonna need armour busting; if you took Moblots, you need bodies (if you took Metros, you need <s>help</s> heavy hitters).

			The big obvious duh of the FRRM is that they have absolutely shitty armour. You ''will'' be hugging cover playing this army or else you can expect to lose a lot of wounds and games. Also, be on the lookout for anything that hits against BTS as there are whole swathes of your army that lack it entirely; your opponent might EMP a bunch of your troopers to trim down your order pool too and you should be cognizant of this.

	*'''The Lever:''' position your core team between and behind two camo infiltrators, one of them will be your bait (like a Metro) and the other is something nasty (like a chasseur). If your opponent takes the bait, pivot your core team around to waste the hapless sap in your active turn. If he picks the nasty, well he gets a nasty surprise; run down any survivors in your active turn.		*'''The Lever:''' position your core team between and behind two camo infiltrators, one of them will be your bait (like a Metro) and the other is something nasty (like a chasseur).
