Those are good points. The list is 11 activations, if you CF you lose 2, so you would still habe 8 left over. All theorycraft aside, no one here has a problem with 600pts of units throwing out 24 Seeker shots? It's not one unit either. It's not a BTS goal, it's split into 4, you can have each formation break separatly, you can sacrifce one to assault and only lose 150pts. They also spit out 6AP4+ shots each formation, and move 35cm, so it's not like they're helpless against a gathering assault. There are still two armoured Cadres that can do their own thing, or combine fire with the Piranha's, the Moray, stealths, crisis, and Tigershark.
The no LOS is one of the larger issues. OW, does not bother me at all. He can put his whole army on overwatch for all I care, less units moving to objectives. Last turn you can zip out with all your vehicles, and 35cm LV's to contest everthing. You'll beat him in the Tiebreaker as long as you keep sacrificing your cheap units.
Obviously I am exagerating the response to OW, but the point of a good General goes both ways. If he puts a unit of overwatch as a counter, a good General will notice that and attack elsewhere.
