Maybe it works a second time: Can we have the seond video, please? (at least I thought there are two videos a day …)
Which has nothing at all to do with what I even said at the outset. I said it would be dumb to make it a tournament exclusive if it's a new profile. Even if it's just them adding a hammer to the profile--that's not the same as the current one. And there's enough differences that it doesn't look like it will just be "it has a CCW now".
If they add CCW to the actual profile is an entirely new profile as you said? An entirely new profile will be Jotum being suddenly Siluethe 6 and carrying an Mk12 not adding a hammer to the actual one.
I doubt its a new Jotum with the aleph hammer, but it looks very cool. MSV 1 shooting through smoke with -6 would be 9 with BS 13 in +3 range vs. an impetious warband, yes still a chance considring you could do nothing in N3. If the Gizmokit work in the same way as the medikit, it will use PH. If they explain it with a bluetooth/wireless connection it could be WIP, but I doubt that. Supressiv in Deployment seems to be an good option, one more chance to spend a CT early. If EVO and Order-Stealing still work the same way, you can spend three at the beginning of the game. I do not like Casanova so much, but I have the feeling, that iKohl fits him better than "CC-3", but its more clear thats for sure. For the CC abilitys he is similar to Adil Mehment ... but with ODD and HD he has better chances to reach a target.
Perhaps someone can correct me if im wrong, but msv1 vs smoke grenade will no longer be a face to face? since it doesn't block the shot? If so that's pretty big - regardless of modifier.
assuming it stays the same - which imho i think it will, mostly - probably just reworded for simpler understanding
It's a new interaction though, so could be F2F, could be F2F with a penalty for the smoker, could be normal rolls, could be normal rolls with a -6 is LoF is traced through where the template will be. Or something completely different.
I think that the impact of the MSV1 change will only really be measurable when we see the changes to other rules but it is definitely nice to see that they've shored up MSV1 and MSV3 a bit, and reduced the power of smoke when facing MSV1, which are all changes I approve of.
For me, the most important thing (to this point, after watching video) is thinner rulebook. I actively played Infinity between 2012 and 2018, but overloaded rules and leaving without support my first two sectorial armies (Acontecimento and Merovingian Rapid Responce Forces) were main reasons of break. I'm mainly waiting for fresh and balanced mechanics of N4. This game really needs rules clarity and simplify some things. In my opinion focusing on it is a step in the right direction. New factions? Nowadays there is a lot of them and new are not necessary. CB can easily find miniatures to resculpt or supplement missing profiles, but if they reveal juicy rules, I will buy something new to my collection, for sure. Waiting for new information. Greetings :)
All of the expansions did not add much for big rule injections. Mostly a few new skills and weapons. The expansion books were like 90%+ fluff.
Could we get the next video somewhat earlier than yesterday? In around an hour would be nice, then I could watch it in my lunch break (Patience is none of my virtues )
