What's good in Svalarheima?

I guess, but they don’t have special fireteam now, like before. :o

 

Why in the world this sudden changes? Did the chinese counterpart got an update also?

 

Doesn't look like it.

 

We got the Guijia... so yeah... nothing.

 

Pretty sure Guijia was always there, otherwise I would have included it with my frequent whining about Zhanshi AVA 4 and no Hac Tao. Guijia turning up on Svalarheima (With Hac Taos and Tigers) was the highlight of Outrage.

 

Well, now I'm curious. Squalo and Jotum in the same Sectorial is a bit of an odd choice, since basically the only thing the Squalo offers over its heavy counterpart is one HGL profile. Have to agree that I'm not fond of yet another damned Aristo getting thrown in, and Shona is thrown in. She's fluffed as instructing the Aquila Guard and has absolutely zero reason to be on Svalarheima, ever.

 

Maybe they're going to redo Gunnar since they're taking away his wildcard?

 

Maybe this is the N4 list?

 

God I Hope so. Right now he is close to useless as he cost almost the same as an ORC while not being nearly as good a gunfighter and is a lot less survivable.

 

Image was retired from social media, so...

 

CB posted today on FB apologizing for the mistake. some say it was an April fools joke that was mistakingly posted on the 12th but I'm not sure it was funny or obvious enough for that,

who knows, maybe it was the N4 list

 

I'm betting it was an early draft of the sectorial. Oh what could have been.

 

Well, it got us all talking again for a little bit. ;)

 

or what could be in N4. Because Shona Carano Infinity version will be the Gencon exclusive blister... and she came with N4...

 

nvm

 

Why such behavior?

 

If this is addressed to me, I wanted to delete the post, but can't, so that's why I put "nvm". XD

 

I mean, it's hard to argue that this isn't good:

Svalarheima’s Winter Force

Or, this, for that matter:

While this kind of thing is interesting, even if I'm not sure if it's GOOD exactly:

And this I'm even more dubious about, even if it does seem fun for some specialist oriented missions:

Now from a pure murder perspective this has a lot of attractions:

And as a variation on the same theme, also this one:

Of course nobody could say that any option you posted wil be a bad choice. I believe the problems with "winter force" is that the "good things" lay on those good options, almost same as you can build in any other Pano sectorial. The question here is "who or what" can be side be side of my "amazing fireteam"... The answer is a lot of people as good shooting as any guy in the fireteam but without any kind of surprise. Same happens with MO, yes, you can build an amazing fireteam, but who can complement it? This is the hard question to answer and the reason I believe Winterforce don't like so much to a lot of pano players. Still, we will have to wait to see winterforce in tables, and for sure, what can we do with Winterforce in N4. Maybe here can we found the reason of winterforce.
