the shooty samurai do not go to well with ashigaru, i think.
you either want to shoot or charge.
ashigaru are for close range only, but the support choises for greater distance (walker+skimmer)
I have to disagree with this, since the Ashigaru are excellent once they get in close, but that is their problem as well, they
HAVE to get in close...but they offer a good screen for the Ronin if you take enough of them to flood the field...I'd rather use them as this living screen than something like the Faceless, since one good shot and the whole squad goes up in explosive glory without doing any damage...
basically, Ashigaru, like Bushido Samurai, have to use the available cover to keep them protected until they are in their maximum effective range...that's why I don't use Bushido too much, since they are limited by their lack of ranged weapons...
I like wmeredith's list for one thing, it floods the field with activations...for Mishima, one of their best advantages are the fact that you can do that because, while their Elites are nice, they are more specialized, and unlike the Elites from the other Corps, they aren't super special, so you're not as tempted to save points on your Grunts to save points on the Elites; and the fact that the Grunts are multi-faceted, since everything in their list is decent in HtH as opposed to the Grunts from the other corps...
