We should do a podcast shoe, where we argue whether MacBain in LR is a jack or infantry list

Macbain does okay with Flamebringers. They can jam and then feat to protect them. They can still attack and sidestep up to 3 times and then reform to get movement after knockdown. It's even funier when they have countermeasures on them. If you really don't want them to get knockeddown you can runup a freebooter to them. But Macbain probably prefers all the jank he can scrounge up in irregulars.

I'm warming to the idea of Bastions with Macbain. Freebooters for no-KD on feat turn, then a nice Hot Meal to bring them back up to full.

I feel like a general rule of thumb is that you shouldn't invest so much in defending anything that has a main purpose of defending other things.

In fairness, a Freebooter can take a lot of punishment if you treat it like a light and don't let it get into situations heavies normally get into.

this is also a whole lot better than the mariner-spam list that people in the FB page are taking seriously for some stuffed-up reason

The Bart Mariner spam list currently being discussed on FB is a great example of how to kill your clock faster then you kill your opponent. It did get me thinking about how to do a Mariner spam list that might actually work. I think Caine3 in Resistance can do it. He can drop a Mage Sight 19" away (21" if he uses Flicker instead of Calamity) to ignore Stealth, clouds, and forests. Ryan can Shadow Fire to open LoS (could potentially have Taryn for two more Shadow Fire shots). Choir plus Feat puts the Mariner guns to POW 19 (21 with Calamity). conflictchamber.com/#c6201b_-0RgY8k8k8k8k8k8k7jdH30Mercenary Army - 75 / 75 points [Theme] Llaelese Resistance [Caine 3] Caine's Hellslingers [+20] - Mariner [14] - Mariner [14] - Mariner [14] - Mariner [14] - Mariner [14] - Mariner [14] Anastasia di Bray [3] Gobber Tinker [2] Choir of Menoth (max) [6]
