Hi everybody,
I will participate in an ITS tournament in Cologne this Sunday. And since I have only a little bit of play experience so far I would love to hear you opinion on my options there. Actually, I do not think or really intend to win the whole thing. I rather want to get a second view on the tactics here and see how it turns out
Missions:
Round 1: BiotechVore
Round 2: Beaconland
Round 3: Nimbus Zone
I can field 300 Points with a 12 XP SpecOps.
I have these units available:

Sadly, I have no Maghariba Guard because I wait for the new model to be released.
Here are my quick thoughts on the missions:
Biotech Vore: Here Classified Objectives come into play. So I might want to take a High Value Target with me, as far as I am aware I do not have one. But I think I might be able to take the Promo Figure from Icestorm for that? The CSU Mercenary? To cover all requirements I need: D-Charges, Doctor, Forward Observer/Spotlight Hacking Program, Engineer. Since in HVT: Retroengineering and HVT: Inoculation G:Servant models are allowed the Nasmat Remotes might come in handy. Can I use them also for the Experimental Drug objective? Troopers with Structure points are very vulnerable to the Biotech Area and might want to get out there fast.
Due to the Confused Deployment special rule Fidays and Ragiks loose in value.
Summarized: Classified Objectives are not that important VP wise, it is rather important to kill the enemy on the small not deadly area. Therefore I want to field a Fiday to take a shot at CC and additionally try to focus on close range weapons like Boarding Shotguns, Feuerbach, Heavy Flamethrower...
Beaconland: So here it is all about the beacons, a little about the consoles. Here a lot of specialist troops will come in handy, additionally I might want to take a Kameel with me to make use of the Baggage +3 bonus. As I see it I can still use the Ragiks Airborne Deployment to land into the Deployment Zone of the enemy, since it is only forbidden to use it in the central 16 inches. Might come handy in combination of the Hacker ability.
Nimbus Zone: So here I need to disable the Antennas, where Engineers do not suffer a -3 WIP Mod whereas Hackers do and disable the Consoles where it is the other way around. So it might be a good idea to field both. Again, Repeaters and Servants are of no use
So as far as I understood it I can bring two different army lists and on before each round I can choose which list to play. Since Beacon Land and Nimbus Zone look similar to me here the same list might come in handy, whereas Repeaters and Servants might be a good idea for the Biotech Vore Mission.
