Of late, a lot of the games I have been playing have shown that MSU (multiple small units) lists are almost a complete failure. Not because they do not have a lot of flexibility or because they do not have the units to destroy the enemy, but because the enemy which is also playing the MSU game is it doing better.
Right now without coffee, I am not going to get into the specifics. The just of it though is, go all the way MSU, or leave it completely. Being the obscessive person I am, I go all the way first. However here is the next generation MSU list I have been working on. Note that this is only a test, although I plan on fielding it later this week anyhow.
