The list is meant to shoot, is mech'd up, and should contain enough first round firepower for him to enjoy. In general the marines should be combat squaded, I placed them in Razorbacks just for the occasion so he doesnt have the option. Notice lots of missle launchers and flamers. A Librarian for psychic defense. Rhinos were selected so that he could fire out of them. Please start your Razorbacks behind the rhinos and give yourself a lane somewhere to drive through. It's simple, durable, and should be a good starting point for a player that likes to shoot.
It has enough troop choices in it, Just try it. Combat squaded, thats 6 units. (that would be his first comment)
