Minelayers

I do love mines. They are tricky. Hard to dodge, hits strong with shock ammo. Against nwound inc. opponents especially, they have fruitful usage.

Having a camo is always handy. Your opponent doesnt have an idea, if that camo is a mine, a trooper or fake camo, what ever. If even your opponent tries to discover them, there are some negative mods there he has to face and at the end, procedure is very order consuming too.

Mines in cover also gives fantastic defence in mid table and in deployment zone too. If you leave a camo in your own deployment, most probably your opponent will not risk coming from that side. Or he can and meet with a template of your mine.

Today i will try to discuss about mines,minelayers in tohaa, which there are plenty of in tohaa arsenal.

I will start with kosuil. There is a very nice variant waiting for you there. A killer with a k1 combi in hand. he has dcharges and the mines together with a minelayer skill.

This picture above notifying the weapons and equipments has changed slightly afterwards, anyways mines are here for us in our stats still.

Kosuil is a minelayer. So he starts the game, leaving one camo marker in your deployment zone. You can use this mine to protect your deployment or as a fake camo sniper threat to make your opponent to feel "hmm there must be a clipso sniper there!"

This two things are valid for our all other options. so, i will focus other extra things you can do with other units.

Kosuil is in a fireteam. He has dcharges, so he can still make a mission although he is not a specialist. ( i am speaking about minelayer variant. ) Secondly and more important, if you have a makaul in that triad, he can leave the mines in his hand, without facing any aro from their opponents. there has to be an eclipse smoke thrown already before, ofcourse.

This is a really strong attack. with together a symbio bomb attack, it gets much more stronger.

I advice you to bring a makaul and a specialist to this triad and use kosuil as a main killer for this trio.

Rasail combi variant has mines either. He is no minelayer though. This powerful attacking piece comes with a chaksa together. How can we use them together ?

Sadly, according to the current rules, we cant attack with chaksa while leaving the mine to ground at the same time. Rule is as below.

• The Controller and the G: Synchronized trooper must declare the same Order, declaring the same Short Skills of the Order. However, it is not compulsory that they have the same target.

So. we have to use the mines, on our way. Not bad. because we still have makauls, that will smoke the table for us.

Nikoul has mines too. Even the model notifies it clearly with 2 extra mines, down on the rock. look at this beauty.

Nikoul is a minelayer and starts the game a mine near. Hard to use other two mines in his hand, but the one already deployed will protect him from assasins and other ad troops. You have to decide only on if it is really necessary since we have also msv1 on other variant.

so finally clipso minelayer.

This elegant lady starts the game in the mid table with a camo somewhere close. There are some tricks here you can use. Showing to camo as a normal camo and now your opponent cant guess at all, whether you used a minelayer or not.

it can be an igao and clipso. 2 clipso. one clipso and one mine. if you can even add more camos, it is a strong mindgames trick!

taking a clipso forward observer , clipso minelayer and an igao can be a real good defence, for instance. I use this barrier oftenly.


For the moment, before the new sectorial comes thats all. We have many mines options in tohaa and maybe we are number 1 on this field. so, why not ? lets use them.
