Hi. I am new to Harlequins and have my first game with them coming up soon.

I would drop all the leaders and get more bodies, and drop all the fancy pistols on anything that is going to be foot-slogging, as you will jsut waste points while FoFing. If you are only using powerweapons i nteh squads (I would get some kisses as well) I would suggest Riveblades for the characters instead. Yes you drop an A, but you get the chance to cut commanders in a single swipe, which you can't with ust the blades. if you are intent on using the kiss with your characters you should give the same to your troupes, not powerweapons.
The leader of the bikers - powerweapon AND powerblades? Why not get a kiss or fancy pistol instead? You get more effects to choose from that way.
Otherwise I think it looks fine. Good luck with it.

Lost Roads - finally released!

Yeah biker leader should be a kiss, not a power weapon, as per the other characters, my mistake. As for the pistols... if i take them out i could get just one more harlequin. If i keep them in admittedly they won't be used much as i'll be fleet of footing, but i just figured it would be handy for any situation when an enemy was close enough to assult without a fleet of foot, to thin them out and ensure victory. Might try it and see if i ever use them.
