Starting with Corregidor
List 4: Workers’ Uprising
Cranking this up all the way to 300 points, certain options become a lot more viable. Geckos, for example, are pretty viable at 200 points but at 300 points you can take both from the box, and also take a force that is effective at supporting them. But if you want to include “must haves” like the Intruder HMG and want to take a Wildcat link perhaps the better choice is
You will need
Corregidor Starter Box
Wildcat Spitfire
Intruder HMG
Iguana
Valerya Gromoz
Carlotta Kowalsky
10 models, 5.5 SWC | 298 Points
WILDCAT Combi Rifle
WILDCAT N2
WILDCAT Engineer
WILDCAT Spitfire
INTRUDER Lieutenant
INTRUDER HMG
ALGUACIL (Forward Observer, Deployable Repeater)
VALERYA GROMOZ Hacker (Hacking Device)
IGUANA (Heavy Machine Gun)
CARLOTA KOWALSKY
. The Engineer is also useful for repairing any damage to the Iguana – although it The Spitfire is mostly there to give the Wildcats some range to deal with targets in their area. Having this defensive link is the only real argument to play Corregidor – you could very easily substitute these guys with twice as many Alguaciles.</p>
<p>The Intruder HMG is, as always, your troubleshooter. Simply point him at things you want killed and Surprise Shot, MSVL2 and his Combat Camo will take care of things for you. He is order-hungry though, with a slow 4-2 MOV so consider his placement carefully.</p>
<p>Valerya Gromoz is a lot more useful in N3, now that linked Hackers are problematic and BTS is no longer so much of an issue as is raw WIP. Primarily she is there to defend your Iguana through its onboard Repeater – any Hacker that gets in range of it will have to either try Hack the Iguana and get an unopposed ARO from Valerya or else try and attack her through the Repeater’s Firewall, which gives them a -3 WIP penalty and Valerya +3 BTS. The Iguana can also use the Repeater and Valerya’s skills to hack enemy HI, REMs and other targets that are otherwise too close for the HMG and too dangerous to use the Heavy Flamethrower on. When the Iguana goes down, Valerya can still support it by giving the Operator Fairy Dust (he is an HI after all).</p>
<p>Carlotta Kowalsky is the cheapest (in real money) way to get Corregidor’s trademark support in. She is there to push buttons in ITS, lock down dangerous unit with her Adhesive Launcher, fix the Iguana, get into difficult areas with Climbing Plus and generally be your card up your sleeve.</p>

Great article! A little confused at why you haven’t gone for a full link with the Wildcats – I always try and take it and find that the +3bs is amazing!
My 2 favourite links so far with them are:
Engineer, N2, Boarding Shotgun and 2x Spitfire
Lieutenant, Engineer, N2, Spitfire and HRL
You use slower link teams by picking the most suitable model to lead the link team each turn, then you leave dangerous models out for ARO (HRL). They can be absolutely brutal!
How nice, I’m looking to start Infinity with a Nomad army!
What about Remotes? They have so many awesome looking drone models. Not good for beginners or just not a fan?
I guess not really proxyable with other models, and thus pretty expensive for a beginning player (and these articles – including the lists presented – are written with a starting player in mind) to field.
Personally, I like my Corregidor REMs, but don’t always field them.
I second Errhile. Remotes are expensive boxed sets. Corregidor’s REMs are totally worth it, though. I like to field them often, and they can be buffed to great heights.
But, it’s a bit of a money sink for starting out. 😉
I play mostly 300 pts games and go either with a 5 Wildcat link if the mission is killy or with my new favorite the 5 + 1 Algua Link (the plus is the hacker, she is not in the link, cause she buffs remotes).
Thanks for the comments, guys.
The last page with the details of the 300 points list explained my reasoning, but it seems not to have been uploaded. Basically, the 5-man Wildcat link forces you to spend 3.5 SWC if you don’t proxy or duplicate the Spitfire, which constrains your other options. Plus it’s rather risky for a newbie to use. One Chain Rifle can wipe out a poorly placed link and take out half your Order pool, no matter how killy it is. Not to say that I never run it, it’s just not for the beginner in my experience. My personal preference is 5 Alguaciles (possibly including Lupe), and either Valerya or the Alguacil Hacker, with a small Wildcat “troubleshooting team” of an Engineer, Boarding Shotgun and Spitfire, and then whatever else I can afford for heavy weapons on top.
REMs are also a great choice, but then you can also run those in Vanilla with same AVA aside from Lunkhods and even more diversified Hacker support. I did mention substituting Lunokhods for Morans in one of the lists.
