Hey there guys.
So I'll be attending my first ever ITS tournament and I would like to get some insights from more experienced players than me [and I'm a noob at this game with only 4 games so far]. I will have some more games next week to test some lists and to get familiar with missions.
Nonetheless at that time I've prepared few lists for 'objective' games.
Missions we'll be playing are:
-Annihilation
-Cold sleep
-Emergency transmission
-Supplies
-Seize the Antennae
-Lifeblood
First list: 300pts/4SWC/8 specialists

What do you guys think about that? I would really appreciate some ideas how this might work with ITS format.
So far, from my [small] experience I can tell I really like Jaguars as they can cover my backfield with chain rifles and provide smoke for Intruder HMG, also with dogged they seem cool alternative to clear out some threats that march to close to my specialists.
Tsyklon worked well for me as fast flanking weapon platform and as suppressive fire ARO unit with Marksman v2 from HD+.
I have zero experience with Moran.
Spekter was kind of useless in first two games [probably I had no idea how to use him] and I ditched him after that. But now he looks kind of useful with hidden deployment as a last minute objective grabber.
I plan to start game with tomcats on board. Zeros as close to objectives as possible to grab them early on.
