Not really a speculation, but... I've played a Hunting Party yesterday, TAK-themed Ariadna vs Corregidor. Tankhunters and Spetznaz (especially Parachutist with BS) won me the game. I can only imagine the fun when they'll get a higher AVA...
Please oh gods of this world can Ariadna get a TAG. Was checking out styles and even though it won't look anything like that picture. I hope for Titanfall looking mechs for Ariadna.
The main things that might hold TAK back is actually lack of cheap disposable troops / orders and lack of specialists And I am not very sure either is going to happen. Right now, TAK feels like it has almost all the tools a faction need.
Idk, TAK has cheap specialists with the Line Kazaks FO, the 112(?), the Line Doctor, Dozer and the BSG FO Strelok, all are pretty cheap, plus the Irmandinos. While not chain rifle cheap, the Line Kazak is cheap enough to be a cheerleader and/or a second or third wave attacker with link bonuses. The Vet Kazak makes a great specialist and datatracker. I usually put the Paramedic (or T2) in most lists. Its a durable hard hitting specialist. Then it becomes an auto include if they can link with Line Kazak or (probably not) the new Frontoviks. Speaking of Frontoviks, I'm really interested in running them. A HRL Harris with an engineer or para will make a great specialist team. I'm pretty confident that TAK will be pretty competitive, especially since they're getting cheap skirmishers, plus they've always had the best attack piece in the game, HMG Spetsnaz.
Which is exactly what I meant. TAK has all the big guns in Ariadna. The only thing that might be Okish instead of excelent is disposable troops and specialists, and it has good access to plenty of both already. It looks like its going to turn into a very strong setorial.
In the good ol'days, teh spanish forum would already started a Gif War*. *Gif War: Flooding the forum with animated .gif related with one theme.
My guess for upcoming releases: Beyond Vasily Frontovik Strelok Line kazak box Frontovik box Dynamos bikes box Ratnick molotok box Carmen merc box Scout ojotnik Strelok shotgun Kazak doctor Tank hunter ML maybe? Vassily with sniper maybe? Veteran kazak with shotgun maybe? Maybe another rpg character like vasily? Spetsnaz with rifle and tank hunter autocannon seems unlikely
Just a quick question that cropped up in the Ariadna FB page. Can you perform triangulated fire with the strelok k9 antipode with its Trench Hammer?
Not that I wouldn't, Just wondering if the rules actually allow it. My reading of the rules and wiki is yes, but there seems to be somewhat of dispute over RaW and intention of the rules.
Throwing Weapon. This weapon can make BS Attacks, but uses the PH Attribute in place of BS. When using this weapon, consider all rules and MODs that would affect the trooper's BS as affecting his PH Attribute instead. SENSOR: TRIANGULATED FIRE ENTIRE ORDER BS Attack, Optional. REQUIREMENTS The user must have the Sensor Special Skill. The user must also have LoF to the target. EFFECTS Allows the user to declare a BS Attack with one of his BS Weapons against a target within LoF by making a BS-3 Roll, ignoring all other applicable MODs (Range, Cover, Special Skills such as Camouflage, TO, ODD...). Mmmmm I see de doubt. Trench hammer is a CC weapons that allows to make BS attacks. Triangulated fire specifies BS weapons. In a raw lecture I would say you can't. Knowing that developers are galicians, I would say you can because was intended.
However if you read the entry under Throwing Weapons: Throwing Weapon. This weapon can make BS Attacks, but uses the PH Attribute in place of BS. When using this weapon, consider all rules and MODs that would affect the trooper's BS as affecting his PH Attribute instead.
I read, but Trenchhammer is CC weapon, no BS weapon. In a raw read, you can't. But I still think that it wasn't the intention and you should be able tu atack.
You may be right. Am not advocating either yes or no at the moment. Am just wondering what the general consensus on this is.
