Maybe it's the first time they've actually acknowledged that faction starters can't just be 6 models all the time?
Assuming 9 + 9 = 18 models compared to the 12 you got in the Onyx box, that falls directly in line with the pricing (+ ~50%).
Ah, 7 + 3 (Operation + Beyond). My bad for taking Kan's word for it. Well, if that's the case, it could just be a slight discount on a bulk purchase?
6*2, plus 1*2 for the box = 14, add the 3*2 for the beyond, 20. And finally add the exclusive for 21. Plus book, 3*2 dice, and terrain... I hope it will be Shas terrain, frankly. And for the mission to be in a shas "hatchery", the one first blown during Paradiso...
Just so we're clear: Onyx Contact Force was a 300 point army box. It consisted of a 6 model starter set, a 2 model box of the Remotes, and a 4 model box of Rodok. What I'm referring to is the fact that the actual starters which are always 6 models, whether or not the points add up similar to other faction starters. 2 player starters are set up of 2 6 model starter sets+2 models for each faction that are exclusive to the box, and a VIP/Exclusive model that's in the box as a preorder benefit---putting you at 15 models in the 2P starters, until the preorders run out and that VIP/Exclusive is gone forevers. The "Beyond" sets are just that--Beyond the box. They're not figured into anything beyond how to advance from there. What I'm hoping for is that they've realized 6 models for something like USARF or Shock Army? It doesn't work. It needs to be at least 8-10, or it needs a heavily pointed model in there.
I'd say they did. USARF has its own army box, not an OPS box... that one is TAK, with the hammer dude (about 30pts more expensive than the naga sniper several of us has converted to combi). But remember, too, that the OPS boxes are intros to the games, and the removal of skills or gear can bring down a piece's "cost" substantially.
As well as the Securitate Feuerbach! If this box will contain metal minis for the SoF then the second hand market will get flooded with the Shas models of that box as even many Aristeia players may want them.
USARF's Army Pack is something that could go away at any time, same with JSA's. Remember that they do sell the USARF starter by itself as well. I'm aware, just like I'm aware that they give premade lists in there for people to use. Going strictly off what's in the box, I can make the TAK side heavier in points than the OSS side...but it requires it to have been a preordered set with the Wardriver Hacker and the Tankhunter to be CoC.

So uh, Gamenerdz already has July preorders up. https://www.gamenerdz.com/infinity Operation Wildfire (Release data TBA) Zondnautica Kriigel SMG Speculo BSG Arjuna Irmandinhos BSG
Wildfire will be a GenCon release. It was announced at the end of the year in a blog post (https://www.infinitythegame.com/blog/item/613-what-will-2019-bring-from-corvus-belli) that there would be a new "Battle Pack" at GenCon. Battle Pack has only been used for Operation boxes so far.
Remember that you probably need to paint them, and may even need to post a battle report to get the offering fully accepted! Except that MRRF was mostly lost when their transport planes were shot down (over water, IIRC). But it would make an excellent battle box! Must. HAVE!!!
man... rereading their fluff just makes me want to play them again. maybe its because its convention season or maybe its just me, but is CB getting more transparent about their releases? it seems like everything on this list was shown or spoiled to some degree, I think I've seen the renders off all of these prior to them going up for preorder. Discounting the Operation box of course.
I think it’s convention season. Although they keep adding more seminars to their schedule, which does result in more previews.
