IF YOU SAVE THE WOLF, YOU KILL THE SHEEP (RATNIK TEAMS IN KAZAKHS)

 After the new fireteam rules appeared, Ratnik suddenly made my heart beat more. Take your ratniks from the shelves , because they are in the fireteams now. Lets check their fireteam options and decide if they are worth to points that we spend.

We have fantastic wildcard options to assist him more. No need to spend cost on an other ratnik. So here is my trio.

Ratnik attacks with 6 dice!

──────────────────────────────────────────────────

 RATNIK AP Spitfire(+1B), Panzerfaust(+1B), Flammenspeer(+1B) / AP Heavy Pistol, Trench-Hammer, CC Weapon. (1.5 | 50)

 VETERAN KAZAK (Paramedic) T2 Rifle, Light Flamethrower ( | MediKit) / Heavy Pistol, CC Weapon. (0 | 39)

 COLONEL VORONIN T2 Boarding Shotgun / Pistol, AP CC Weapon. (0 | 21)

 1.5 SWC | 110 Points

This trio is awesome. They can do many things.

You have 6 dice AP Spitfire , Burst 6 AP Ammo with Bs13 is no joke. Option to send 2 flammenspear at once, 2 panzerfaust at once is giving chance to hit troublesome units.

Lightflamethower 2 burst or T2 Boardingshotgun in close range.

Medikit to bring Ratnik back. Button pushing option on the way as well.

ApSpitfire is fantastic in mid range but you still need something to bring this baby to mid range. You can bring irmandinhos' smokes or eliminate a defensive terror with Spetznaz first.

Dont forget that our Colonel has sensor. So find the hidden rats first and kill afterwards.

Rocket launcher option also really good and i like it more personaly.

 RATNIK Heavy Rocket Launcher(+1B), Heavy Shotgun / Heavy Pistol, Trench-Hammer, CC Weapon. (1.5 | 47)

 VETERAN KAZAK AP Heavy Machine Gun / Heavy Pistol, CC Weapon. (1.5 | 46)

 COLONEL VORONIN Rifle / Assault Pistol, AP CC Weapon. (0 | 20)

 3 SWC | 113 Points

In this trio, Veteran kazakh takes the lead and you dont need any help from other units to make this trio to work. 

You have 5 burst BS13 attack with mimetism and rockets 4 burst BS13 in long range.

In Short range still we have a handy heavy shotgun with 3 burst BS19 . DMG15 shotgun has AP ammo in hit mod.

There is still assault pistol in close range with 5 burst BS12 .

Here is humble opinion abour ratnik haris!

This can work and can really hit hard. 5man link plus a haris like this can do a good job. If you can create the 5man link in a defensive way, you can spend your orders on this trio.

There is still deficiencies you have to take care of. Ratnik is not a real TAG that you can heal with an engineer, you need a paramedic or a doc. After the first wound, your ratnik will not be strong as before. So think about whether to use dogged state or not depending on your situation.

Defensive way , this trio is less strong but when attacking it is devastating. Try to sensor araound and put some mines around to protect your trio.

I am quite positive about this haris. Are they the best ? Sure no. But this trio is cool!
