Even if you have template weapons on your table edge, those units might still be eliminated or she'll be held back for the next turn and the smoke/Ko Dali rampage will still happen. Its a potent combo.
Whoops! bit of a typo there. I think the HI could have MSV or sensor and be a very cool profile for camo hunting. I fully agree with the eventual point that another smoke platform in yu jing wouldn't be broken. However, I think being too reliable and cheap would be a bit excessive, given Yu jings access to Rui Shi and Hsien.
@Triumph you disagree fully that Speculo has very good use of smoke themselves or that it is a short range device? They supplement Ko Dali really well (and somewhat expensively), but you don't need Ko Dali for a Speculo to have great use of smoke. @Alphz time will tell. I hope CB will give us more variety than we'd give ourselves. I'm not arguing for a cheap smoke, however, I'm hoping for one of the most expensive smoke in game on a 33+ model. For no reason at all: Would Master Sergeant have MSV or Sensor? Or both?
I disagree with your argument that the Speculo only smokes for themselves, there are plenty of reasons for them to smoke for other models.
Sure, but that's not what I wrote. I wrote they don't need to smoke for someone else, meaning that unlike many smoke dispensers they are a self-contained combo. Smoke and a forward deploying melee unit is one of the strongest combinations in the game.
We also needed designspace, designspace that Aleph, Nomad and Ariadna still had. but before we dig this out again, lets endure it quietly until new infos von CB... I see it like that: we are Luke Skywalker, we have to work and earn our stuff through rough times, we are not Rey
