	*'''Krakot Renegades, Morat Fugitives:''' The only PanO unit with a Chain Rifle and he brought a spare. It’s weird that Krakot is typed as LI, as they are a straight up Warband unit. His purpose is to get up into the opponents face, kill as much as it can and die heroically, in a true Morat fashion. Worth considering for an Alpha Strike, if you can get one.		*'''Krakot Renegades, Morat Fugitives:''' The only PanO unit with a Chain Rifle and he brought a spare.

	*'''Machinist :''' Basically a non-linkable Fusilier with Engineer and higher BTS. Not very good, but it's the only Engineer in entire PanOceania, so if you're heavy on Remotes or taking a TAG, you'll be taking him anyway.		*'''Machinist :''' Basically a non-linkable Fusilier with Engineer and higher BTS.

	*'''Order Sergeants and Specialist Sergeants:''' Basic MO Line Infantry. Higher CC, WIP and Religious Troop over Fusiliers, for 3 pts more. ML and HMG swapped for an HRL and Spitfire. Can't be your Lieutenant and you’re limited to 1, so you’ll probably want to look over Specialist profiles. Unless you really want an HRL though, usually not worth considering.		*'''Order Sergeants and Specialist Sergeants:''' Basic MO Line Infantry.

	Those guys will be your Cheerleaders and cheap, backup specialists.

	*'''Acontecimento Regulars:''' Higher WIP than regular Fusiliers, at the cost of ARM and additional SWC. A regular might be a good cheap specialist if you have the spare SWC. MULTI Sniper option is worth a look due to Sapper rule~~. If you feel like the armor trade is worth it for WIP 13, you can get 2 Regular paramedics for the same price as a Fusilier paramedic~~.		*'''Acontecimento Regulars:''' Higher WIP than regular Fusiliers, at the cost of ARM and additional SWC.

If you don't have the first turn she will probably die. But what is 24pts?

	*'''Joan of Arc/2.0:''' PanO’s Recreation 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). Inspiring Leadership gives her the ability to pseudo-link your troops and make the few Irregular units (remember WarCors and Tech-Bees?) into cheap extra Orders. Can equally well shoot or cut down her opposition. She’s better in Military Orders, but not all bad in vanilla.		*'''Joan of Arc/2.0:''' PanO’s Recreation and obvious Lieutenant.

	*'''~~Aquilla~~ Guard:''' A big bad Rambo that makes Hsien Warriors yellow with envy and Camo or ODD lists shit their pants, Aquilla boasts BS 15 and MSV3, letting him auto-discover and obliterate every kind of Camo infiltrator or ODD trooper in his way. Strangely enough no HMG Lt. option. He’s stupidly cheap for MSV3, but that is because PanO has no reliable access to smoke, making him a bit more situational than other MSV Rambos. But then who doesn’t play Camo units?		*'''Aquila Guard:''' A big bad Rambo that makes Hsien Warriors yellow with envy and Camo or ODD lists shit their pants, Aquilla boasts BS 15 and MSV3, letting him auto-discover and obliterate every kind of Camo infiltrator or ODD trooper in his way.

	*'''Guarda de Assaulto:''' 50 pts for an ARM 3 medium range unit might seem a bit much, but Guarda can get close thanks to his Auxbot’s Eclipse Grenade Launcher. The Guarda also carries a Heavy Flamethrower and D-charges on both profiles, and the auxbot gets a light shotgun as a backup weapon. Not a popular choice, but an interesting one.		*'''Guarda de Assaulto:''' 50 pts for an ARM 3 medium range unit might seem a bit much, but Guarda can get close thanks to his Auxbot’s Eclipse Grenade Launcher.

	*'''Holy Order of Hospitaller Knights of St. John of Skovorodino:''' The biggest Military Order and one of the most versatile PanO HI. Hospitallers are ORCs with better stats and a Frenzy discount.

	**'''Father-Officer Gabriele De Fersen:''' The last Templar, 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" lists less viable, but he is still one of the best PanO hackers.		**'''Father-Officer Gabriele De Fersen:''' The last Templar, De Fersen is a very valid multiple-purpose HI character.

Changing his regular HD to AHD in Human Sphere N3 limited his functionality and made "A Knight and His Remotes" lists less viable, but he is still one of the best PanO hackers. The downside is he costs and arm and a leg and is vulnerable to KHD.

	*'''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.		*'''Montesa Order Motorized Knights:''' The first biker HI, making Yu Jing forever salty.

	*'''Sacred Military Order of Knights of Santiago:''' The 360 visor knights. 1 SWC Spitfire on a BS 14 troop with 360 visor makes for a scary mid-field unit. Martial Arts let him creep up the board between repeaters. Frenzy can be a boon for him, since it gives him an extra move and Santiago wants to be up close. Don't forget, these guys come with Nanopulsers and E/M grenades. The former is a nice close range deterrent and the latter a great tool when faced with HI or REMs.		*'''Sacred Military Order of Knights of Santiago:''' The 360 visor knights. 1 SWC Spitfire on a BS 14 troop with 360 visor makes for a scary mid-field unit.

The former is a nice close range deterrent and the latter a great tool when faced with HI or REMs. They are also all Specialists for good measure, with the KHD equipped with a TinBot for protection. This unit really shines in MO though.

	*'''Equestrian Order of the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre:''' The Holoprojector 2 knight. Martial Arts 2, DA CCW and a Spitfire (or a Combi + ~~DEP~~ option if you're strapped for SWC), Holy Sepulchre makes for a decent solo rambo. ~~Now with Surprise Shot on Holoprojector and the ability to disguise Holoechoes, Sepulchre saw a rise~~ in ~~points~~, but he is ~~still~~ a ~~pretty decent solo knight~~. ~~And unlike Swiss Guard~~, he is not ~~hindered my MSV troops~~.		*'''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, but remember that CoC is a Specialist profile, which makes good use of his high WIP. Remember you can disguise him as something as lowly as a Fusilier, making your opponent bewildered if he kills your Joan and you're not in LoL.

	*'''Magister Knights:''' Only PanO HI with BS 12, Magister Knights are the base of Military Orders lists. But with AVA 1 in general PanO Magister is a cheap, suicide HI with a Panzerfaust. Generally not worth it, unless you really want a big, ugly, solo "Warband".		*'''Magister Knights:''' Only PanO HI with BS 12, Magister Knights are the base of Military Orders lists.

	*'''Military Order of Father-Knights:''' 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 a Spitfire, a Missile Launcher or take a specialist profile. Lastly, there's a Duo profile, so with TeamPro you can take two Father-Knights riding together. What's not to like?		*'''Military Order of Father-Knights:''' Not actually a knightly Order, Father-Knights are extremely hardy general purpose HI.

	*'''ORC Troops:''' PanOceanian poster boy HI, has a reputation of being useless. This is mostly down to the fact that ORCs are as baseline as they come: no special skills, no fancy equipment, no interesting weapons, WIP 12. Their one saving grace is being a relatively low points BS 14 HMG platform with Lieutenant option. Fireteam Duo is also something to consider, but it is a points and Order heavy proposition for vanilla. ORCs are good for games of 200 pts and below, but above that you will most likely use him as a Swiss Guard proxy model. ~~And speaking of…~~		*'''ORC Troops:''' PanOceanian poster boy HI, has a reputation of being useless.

			**'''Patsy Garnett, ORC Troops' Varuna Division NCO:''' Patsy is the special ORC character and supreme waifu. Short ranged and aggressive, can chuck some Nimbus+ to move around easier (especially good for your Mimetic/ODD troops) and NCO lets her use your Fusilier Lt's Order. A specialist with an SMG on top of that. Generally not bad.
	*'''Patsy Garnett, ORC Troops' Varuna Division NCO:''' ~~Entry Pending~~.

	*'''Swiss Guard:''' BS 15, ARM 5, TO Camo? Swiss Guard is the elite of elite in PanOceania. HMG for a wondrous active turn Rambo, Missile Launcher for a ridiculous long range support/sniper overlooking your cheaper specialist or AHD for an objective run. Swiss Guard is another unit that Yu Jing players whine about, despite Hac Tao being technically slightly better. And looks almost identical to the ORC from your starter pack.		*'''Swiss Guard:''' BS 15, ARM 5, TO Camo? Swiss Guard is the elite of elite in PanOceania.

	Other factions have 2 to 4 TAGs. PanOceania has SEVEN. All of them BS 15, they provide a variety of uses. And they’re all G: Remote Presence, so count as Courage and invulnerable to Expel. Most TAGs are active turn killers, and thus at the end of your turn you should either hide it or put into Suppressive Fire.		Other factions have 2 to 4 TAGs. PanOceania has SEVEN.

	*'''Clausewitz Uhlan:''' The only time PanO allows itself to stoop down to regular Camo, it’s on a tank-hunter Stingray TAG. HMG for general purpose fighting, Feurerbach for that delicious AP + DA or EXP shot. With Surprise shot and long range, Uhlan’s job is to take out enemy HI or TAG and then kill everything else with the HMG.		*'''Clausewitz Uhlan:''' The only time PanO allows itself to stoop down to regular Camo, it’s on a tank-hunter Stingray TAG.

	*'''Cutters, Varuna Naval Chasseurs:''' Another big reason to play vanilla. Min-maxers will call Cutter the only TAG worth taking, and that is because of TO Camo. If you thought Swiss Guard is ridiculous, here’s one TAG-sized. Costs a ton, so you’ll be making your list all about him.		*'''Cutters, Varuna Naval Chasseurs:''' Another big reason to play vanilla.

	*'''Jotums, Svalarheima’s Armoured Cuirassers:''' Jotum is the biggest and hardest humanoid TAG, the only one completely unaffected by Combi Rifles when in cover. In straight up gunfights hardly anything can threaten Jotum. Keep away from hackers and warbands though.		*'''Jotums, Svalarheima’s Armoured Cuirassers:''' Jotum is the biggest and hardest humanoid TAG, the only one completely unaffected by Combi Rifles when in cover.

	*'''Seraph Armoured Cavalry:''' The fastest and cheapest one ~~with the smallest gun~~. Seraph is a jumping~~, mid-range~~ TAG with great BS and ARM. ~~Don't worry about keeping the Auxbot~~ in range ~~too much~~, it's more of a ~~bonus which you are bound to lose when jumping around~~. CC 20 ~~and an EXP CCW makes~~ it ~~also one~~ of the ~~few~~ TAGs ~~able to stand on their own in melee, although much like with knights, you should consider it plan B or even C~~.		*'''Seraph Armoured Cavalry:''' The fastest and cheapest one. Seraph is a jumping TAG with great BS and ARM. Now comes in two flavors: mid-range one with an Auxbot buddy (thankfully updated to bounce with the Seraph, so you will no longer lose it) or a more conservative HMG with 2 Nanopulsers, better suited for jumping from behind a building in or near DZ and spraying all over the table. Note that CC 20 without any CC skills doesn't really make it good at swordfighting other TAGs; most have CC at 17-18, so it's a crapshoot either way (thought the Auxbot can give it extra Burst). Probably the most anime of all the TAGs.

	*'''Squalos, PanOceanian Armored Cavalry Heavy Lancers:''' Squalo is the TAG all other PanO TAGs (aside from Stingrays) are based on. ARM 8, MULTI HMG, Heavy Grenade Launcher, Squalo is a no-nonsense frontline TAG.		*'''Squalos, PanOceanian Armored Cavalry Heavy Lancers:''' Squalo is the TAG all other PanO TAGs (aside from Stingrays) are based on.

	*'''Tikbalangs, Armoured Chasseurs of Acontecimento:''' The other Stingray, Tikbalang is a mobile TAG designed for fighting at all ranges. Cheap and light, but not weak at all, with Mimetism and BS 15 it will win firefights and the mines allow it to secure itself from warbands or have his back covered when in Suppressive Fire. His buff was paid with Toni’s life, call your Tik ‘Eduardo’ in her honor.		*'''Tikbalangs, Armoured Chasseurs of Acontecimento:''' The other Stingray, Tikbalang is a mobile TAG designed for fighting at all ranges.

If you want you can have him hanging from a wall and shooting down, how cool is that? His buff was paid with Toni’s life, call your Tik ‘Eduardo’ in her honor.

	**'''Crabbot Ancillary Remote Unit:''' Not a TAG, but a TAG brain that acts as a Pilot equivalent if your fancy mech gets fried. In true PanO fashion it has high BS and low WIP... Making it pretty useless, as it has no actual ballistic weapons. But at least it has a knife.		**'''Crabbot Ancillary Remote Unit:''' Not a TAG, but a TAG brain that acts as a Pilot equivalent if your fancy mech gets fried.

	*'''Auxilia:''' Loved by Neoterran players, still good in vanilla. Auxillia is a combination of a cheap specialist and camo hunter/close range fighter.

Just like everywhere else, in PanO they get all the basic heavy weaponry and specialist options as well as a non-SWC Lieutenant.

	*'''Hexas, Strategic Security Division:''' A true clandestine PanOceanian unit, Hexa can be a real pain in the ass to remove, if armed with a MULTI Sniper or a Spitfire. WIP 13 and two hacker profiles make it also a decent, if expensive, Infowar and Specialist choice. A pair of Hexas makes for a decent alternative to a single Swiss Guard.		*'''Hexas, Strategic Security Division:''' A true clandestine PanOceanian unit, Hexa can be a real pain in the ass to remove, if armed with a MULTI Sniper or a Spitfire.

Fusilier is a good base for a combat-focused Spec-Op, while Regulars and Order Sergeant can be good specialists due to their higher WIP.

	*'''Echo Bravo, Ready Action Unit:''' ~~Entry Pending~~.		*'''Echo Bravo, Ready Action Unit:''' If you don;t like filthy Tohaa in your army, Whisky Tango is here to pick up the slack. This guy may cost SWC, but he basically has no bad profiles. He's a much better gunfighter than specialist compared to Cube Jager, especially with this LRL or Red Fury he's packing. In case he runs into some heavy units, there's Wild Parrots or DEP/AHD to the rescue. Thanks to Foxtrot Delta PanO players are now learning how to use an AD troop. Yes, his name is lame.

	*'''Fusiliers:''' The PanOceanian basic line infantry, 10pts for a base one, with BS 12. Just like everywhere else, in PanO they get all the basic heavy weaponry and specialist options as well as a non-SWC Lieutenant. These guys will be your most likely cheerleaders and BS 12 makes them for a decent ARO piece (especially with a Missile Launcher), if you’re willing to spend 1.5 SWC on a Fusilier.		*'''Fusiliers:''' The PanOceanian basic line infantry, 10pts for a base one, with BS 12.

	**'''Fusilier Indigo Bipandra:''' A WIP13 Doctor. <s>Unfortunately still costs 0.5 SWC.</s> Has a Nanopulser and WIP13, so worth considering, although you’re likely to choose either the cheaper Trauma-Doc or the harder Hospitaller.		**'''Fusilier Indigo Bipandra:''' A WIP13 Doctor. <s>Unfortunately still costs 0.5 SWC.</s> Has a Nanopulser and WIP13, so worth considering, although you’re likely to choose either the cheaper Trauma-Doc or the harder Hospitaller.

	*'''Helot Militia:''' ~~Entry Pending~~.		*'''Helot Militia:''' The fishbois are supposedly there to act as cannon fodder, but in truth they are sentries. They're irregular, but you'll be using your Helot's Order to reposition him where he can be the most pain in the ass, so it's no biggie. Comes in two flavors: Decoy or Limited Camo. Generally Decoy looks more annoying, but Camo can combo with Zulu Cobra and doesn't cancel when you move him. The MSR and Red Fury are a bit costly for a disposable fish, but the other two profiles are Daylami-level trolling.

	*'''Hexas, Strategic Security Division:''' A true clandestine PanOceanian unit, Hexa can be a real pain in the ass to remove, if armed with a MULTI Sniper or a Spitfire. WIP 13 and two hacker profiles make it also a decent, if expensive, Infowar and Specialist choice. A pair of Hexas makes for a decent alternative to a single Swiss Guard.		*'''Hexas, Strategic Security Division:''' A true clandestine PanOceanian unit, Hexa can be a real pain in the ass to remove, if armed with a MULTI Sniper or a Spitfire.

	*'''Kamau, Amphibious Intervention Teams:''' Kamau are an elite Light Infantry choice, geared for long range fighting. BS13, WIP 13 and Mimetism drive up the price on such a squishy unit, but BTS6 might be useful for a hacker or against Tohaa and the HMG gets an 0.5 SWC discount over the Nisse. Speaking of, there’s an MSV2 MULTI Sniper option too, because clearly every PanO sectorial needs one. What is more interesting is the HRL + SMG profile, both extremely rare weapons for PanO. But in general Kamau ~~will be~~ a lot better in Varuna than they are for generic armies.		*'''Kamau, Amphibious Intervention Teams:''' Kamau are an elite Light Infantry choice, geared for long range fighting.

	**Note: currently Army 6 has a bug in English version that shows HRL as LGL. If you add this profile to the list, correct weapons will be shown in the chart.

	*'''Knauf, Outlaw Sniper:''' Knauf is a great sniper platform. Mimetism gives him an edge in firefights, while MSV1 takes Camo and Mimetism away from the target (while reducing effectiveness of enemy TO and ODD). His Multi Sniper Rifle already comes with a nice variety of ammo types, but his Marksmanship L1 can add Shock to his shots as well - a very deadly combination. However, in PanO, Knauf has some stiff competition in form of Nisses, Kamau and Bagh-Mari - all of which are very similar to Knauf's equipment and skills - and even more snipers from Hexas, Black Friars, Croc Men, etc etc.		*'''Knauf, Outlaw Sniper:''' Knauf is a great sniper platform.

	*'''WarCor:''' He's a 3pts Regular Order if you play Joan. Sure, Flash Pulse and Aerocam are nice, but that's not why you're taking him.		*'''WarCor:''' He's a 3pts Regular Order if you play Joan. Sure, Flash Pulse and Aerocam are nice, but that's not why you're taking him.

	*'''Zulu Cobra, Special Recon and Intervention Group:''' ~~Entry Pending~~.		*'''Zulu Cobra, Special Recon and Intervention Group:''' Zulu Cobra is the only PanO Camo troop, which makes it a little obvious as to what's under the marker (unless you're taking Camo Helots or playing with Minelayer). Which may not be all bad considering Zulus carry Jammers – even if yours doesn't have it, your opponent may want to stay away from him, keeping the Zulu safe and siphoning the enemy where you want them (like in front of a Nisse or Helot). KHD profile is 1pt more than Hexa, so I'd take her for that duty instead. Same for Spitfire.

	*'''Indigo Spec-Ops:''' If your meta allows for one, you have a choice of a Fusilier, an Order Sergeant or an Acontecimento Regular. Fusilier is a good base for a combat-focused Spec-Op, while Regulars and Order Sergeant can be good specialists due to their higher WIP. For a specialist option you’ll want a Regular or a Sergeant Engineer – just 2 EXP and he’s already better than the Machinist.		*'''Indigo Spec-Ops:''' If your meta allows for one, you have a choice of a Fusilier, an Order Sergeant or an Acontecimento Regular.
