A crack at Vedic

I'm mostly playing mercenaries at the moment, but took a break from that to take Vedic for a spin. I ran a list very similar in playstyle to my Tohaa lists, but craftier and, it turns out, not as effective. To wit:

Vanilla Nomads at MOAB

This is a summary of all the playtesting I did of my vanilla nomads lists in the lead-up to the Mother of All Battles 2018 (MOAB) in Sydney. I should note that I have been trying to make a list like this work for ages. Like at least 18 months. If you go back in the blog you'll see a lot of discussion of it. It has never quite come together. That changed a bit with Tunguska. The heckler with Red Fury filled a huge hole in Nomads, namely the sweeper piece. In the past I was having to use zeros with combis to kill stuff in the late game. Now I have this much more reliable killer. The heckler with jammer and fastpanda filled another huge hole - deployable repeaters in the midfield. Together, these guys also increased the camo shell game substantially. Finally, Mary problems gives you a potent hacker with an ideal device (HD+ is wasted without REMS and AD), and she can deploy straight into the midfield to score and never drain orders. So when this rundown begins I am working with an infowar list that you can see in the second post, below.
