Playing Infinity N4: a list for all seasons

I have just finished painting the second box from my last shopping spree, as mentioned in my last post, so I'm very happy to present you my Yadu Troops:

Capture the objective!

However, I want to focus these posts on "playing" rather than "painting": in these regards, the Yadu Troops box features 140-ish PTS and 3,5 SWC, making it very interesting to expand an OSS Sectorial army that can list up to 5 of them.

As a new player, I see these models as a shortcut to a balanced and affordable list.
I know that the concept of "balanced" is irrelevant in Infinity, since everything strongly depends on the mission being played, but as a new player I am happy to notice that lists which don't require you to buy lots of different miniatures, yet still give you some room for variations, do exist.

...talking about variations on the theme

Here you'll find one of my favourite variations on this list but the concept is more important than the list itself. The list includes: 1 Asura, 2 Deva, 4 Yadu, a Sophotect with 2 Yudbots and 1 Netrod.

Its points of strenghts are:

1. Fireteam flexibility: everyone but the Sophotect and the Netrod can join a fireteam. You can make a Special Haris and a 4-models Core, or a 5-models Core and a Duo;
2. NCO: this ability makes the model capable of spending the lieutenant order even if it's not the lieutenant. It also works with fireteams. I suggest having one for each fireteam;
3. Your lieutenant is difficult to guess: this is a more of a consequence of points 1 and 2. The list I've linked features a Deva as lieutenant but also the Asura and the Yadus have lieutenant profiles with the same equipment. I don't favour the Asura just because it's the only one with 2 lieutenant order so it either reveals your deception or is a waste of points;
4. Specialists: 3 models out of 8 are specialists and you could also tweak the list to have a 4th with the Forward Observer Deva. I favour the 23 points one so you have another layer of deception to protect your lieutenant since you have two apparently identical Deva;
5. Affordable: not mentioning proxies and out of production boxes, you can buy all the models you need for little more than 100€ (Deva Functionaries box, Yadu Troops box, Aleph Support Pack and the Asura).

Cool guys don't look at explosions, why would they even bother facing the camera?

Of course, this list also has several weaknesses:

1. High point density: these models are pricy so you can't really afford to casually lose one or two;
2. Hackability: all your models are hackable. This is not a surprise for Aleph OSS but it's really dangerous considering weakness number 1. You can list 2/3 hackers with high WIP, but it's still a  danger to consider; Edit: nope, Yadu and Deva are not hackable, unless they're hackers of course! Can't tell why I overlooked this 🤷‍♂️
3. No long range: pretty self explanatory. No multi sniper rifles here, keep scrolling;
4. No field control: aka no camo, no mines, no parachutist nor combat jump. You play with what you have: it's very straightforward but it can become a mousetrap.

Now I only need to test my reasonings: to glory!
