Looks fine, though I'd put the rockets on the rifles instead of on the infantry.

Got it. Old habits, used to be we couldn't do that.

So here is my list I cobbled together from the app, all stuff I have unboxed and assembled: Vladimir Tzepesci, The Dark Prince Juggernaut 1 Juggernaut 2, Electric Boogaloo Marauder Winter Guard Gun Carriage Kovnik Josef Grigorovich Winter Guard Infantry - Winter Guard Infantry Office & Standard - Winter Guard Rocketeer 1 - Winter Guard Rocketeer 2 - Winter Guard Rocketeer 3, Tokyo Drift Widowmaker Scouts 1 Winter Guard Mortar Crew 2 Winter Guard Mortar Crew 2 Furious Winter Guard Field Gun Crew Winter Guard Rifle Corps Looks doable? Needs tweaks? Also, are there other casters I could work this list with? As said, move the rocketeers to the Rifle Corps.
Otherwise, it's solid. Possible tweaks:
1 - Find 4 points for a Widowmaker Marksman. He gives you a nice shot, and a useful solo for flag-camping/zone sitting if required.
2 - One big weakness will be a lack of magical attacks. The usual fix is to add Aiyana & Holt with Valachev. You can do that by ditching the Widowmakers and a Mortar or the Fieldgun (I'd suggest the mortar).
3 - The other main weakness is likely to be stealth. The only real solution for that is to get a Spriggan, probably replacing a Juggernaut and a mortar or field gun.
But those aren't essential.
In terms of alternative casters:
Butcher1 - needs the Field gun for an accuracy boost, but on feat turn he drops 2 mortar shots with additional damage dice, and the 3 rockets on something. Don't underestimate the shooting power of the WGI either, especially in 2 man CRAs. WGI can actually use Fury in a pinch, when combined with Bear's Strength, to hit quite hard in melee (but can struggle to hit).
If you massage points a bit, then:
Sorscha2 - Desperate Pace for the WGI and her feat gives lots of ARM cracking. Boundless Charge is nice for the jacks.
Old Witch2 - Good for winning shooting matches (by both reducing the range of incoming shots and has ranged damage/accuracy boosts) and supports her jacks reasonably well.
Irusk2 - probably too many jacks for him. But 2 mortars with Fire for Effect remains very good, and his passive support is helpful. Bear's Strength + Battle Lust makes regular Winterguard good in melee.

I do have a Marksman.
I know I have Aiyana & Holt and Valachev ... somewhere. Just not sure where. Finding them will be more difficult, I'm afraid. Valachev probably the easier one, but still.
I love the Spriggan. At the end of my MKII run, that was the guy I reached for most often. Solid workhorse of a 'jack. I would love to make room for him.
Making that much space will be tricky. I'll have to make a few choices here and there.

So here's the modified list with a lot less sequel jokes: Vladimir Tzepesci, The Dark Prince - Juggernaut - Marauder - Spriggan Winter Guard Gun Carriage Kovnik Jozef Grigorovich Widowmaker Marksman Winter Guard Infantry - Winter Guard Infantry Officer & Standard Winter Guard Mortar Crew Winter Guard Field Gun Crew Winter Guard Rifle Corps - Winter Guard Rocketeer 1 - 2 Winter Guard Rocketeer 2 Furious - Winter Guard Rocketeer 3 Tokyo Drift (you don't entirely get away from these jokes. Haha!)
I like this revision. The Spriggan in Mk. II was one of my favorite Jacks and it's great to have Bulldoze back in my jack list. Also, Dual Attack? Cool! I love this guy. The Marksman is a great addition. I'd like the unit too, but 75 seems the new 35 which always meant start making hard choices, but that was the fun of low point games. Still haven't found Elf Girl and Pet Guy but given the point juggling I've had to do, probably for the best.

Looks solid. Not necessary The List to Beat All ListsTM, but it's got game into lots of the field.
I found the Gun Carriage a trickier piece to use in my Vlad1 list compared to jacks and the units, but with practice it can do so much work.

I shouldn't have, but I picked up Sergeant Dragos.
Also, June was activities every week. Then we put an offer on a house that was contingent on us putting our house on the market and going under contract in a week. Turns out that was very hectic. But successful.
Needless to say, not much War going on.
