So the point is to try and take all the objectives and hold them with infantry. Or really just to stun your opponent with your flagrant disregard to effectiveness or winning as you swarm the table with hordes of infantry.

Send the recon infantry after the secondary objectives, followed by one of the core infantry and the ground command. The other core holds your tertiary objective while the ground attack makes a suicide run for the primary objective.

Soon as I finish painting everything up I'm going to try this.

I don't play Planetfall (yet!) But I wholeheartedly concur. Completely non effective choices have a quality all of their own! After all, no commander ever has all the assets they would like!. A lot of people worry too much about what's effective. In fact being unconventional can be a surprise to your friendly opponent! ;-p

Sounds like it would be damn fun to play against ;-)

I've got a game coming up in a week or so.

I'm so going to try this!

Excellent fun list, and I wouldn't be surprised if it does quite well!!!

I like it - I have a very similar Directorate 'Patriot spam' list that I break out occasionally. It worked OK (sort of), until my usual Terran opponent (Terrans) cottoned onto it and wheeled out the Hawker Aerial Helix. Turns out those Guardsmen are quite nasty...
