Why would a distributor and printer talk about a website and not a physical product? Also the name could change. It was 2nd Ed (not N2, that was after 3rd edition got the new name), then N3, then N4. The picture uses a plain font, so maybe it was made by someone at Diacash to have something bigger in screen than four phrases. CB playbook should be obvious after more than a decade. Lots of "this unit is a motherfucker" and the fireteam rules. Bam, new book.
OTOH Dia Cash said "The new (thing) from Infinity." in Spanish, less undefined than English "Infinity news". Followed by saying it will be at their distributor page soon. Why would CB section appear at Dia Cash page? Maybe DC went all BocaChancla (Summer is coming!!!), speaking about what they should not. Or pushing CB new section, but very guerrilla marketing (those emojis... "watch" and "smug"?).
Maybe they're anticipating the upcoming release of Crimson Stone and someone assumed that page had something to do with it?
It's an Operation Verb Noun release that's introducing Aleph Ariadna and Nomads to C1, so don't expect a very meaty book *(from what I can find with a quick search)
Next 2 player starter for Code One/N4 with Ariadna/Kosmoflot and Nomads/Corregidor. Expected as a late August/Early September release.
So finally something we can speculate on is what figures might be in Crimson Stone? Here's my thoughts: First Wolff is a Merc available to both so he's likely for the special figure like Liang Kai was in Kaldstrom. You always have 3 basic troopers, one skirmish type, one big guy. Kosmo will be made up of new Kosmo troops only and Corregidor will have some of the new troops they have not produced yet, Sombra, Evader and Vostok. I'm not sure on the Tomcat for Corregidor but it fit nicely points wise and there was already a camo troop with the Sombra.

Forget about bearpode in the base box and put a reesculpted classic troop like paracommando or SAS. But since in the today blog, SAS are mentioned and paracommandos dont, probably will be the skirmisher.
I think the Bearpode because they sometimes like to put in a "big" figure. Also there's only one profile, you'll need to get this set to get that BP for a long time. The "big" one for Nomads would be the Vostok. It would be the first time a set like this had a REM though so I'm not sure. Also, I already put in the Zenit as the camo trooper. If anything, I'd say it's the SAS or the Zenit.
Bearpode is unlikely since it has a lot of rules that are not available in code 1. And since crimson stone is a code one product...
Coldfront had 3 REMs with the Dakinis in there. Martin reason I don't think we'll see a Bearpode is that it has so many rules that aren't in C1 like Impetuous, Irregular, Berserk, Smoke, Dogged, etc. I could maybe see a Polaris team, but I feel they'd be better suited as an N4 release.
I see vostok as a beyond product, the team Polaris as a set like the streloks + Antipode or like Mirage 5. For the kosmoflot side I expect: 3 rokots 1 kosmosoldat 1 SaS 1 Zenit 7 1 volkolak
Closer to the Vostok, Beyond Coldfront had the Rudra on the aleph side. The Coldfront box had the Ratnik too. So it might be something like Bearpode in box, Vostok in the beyond box.
I doubt the bearpode being in a beyond box. It needs the controller and i dont see putting a cheerleader in that format
All good points. Is it set in stone there's no Bearpode in C1? I've seen nothing about the list of troops for Ariadna in C1.
Not set in stone, but it seems unlikely to me as they'd have to either a) add a whole bunch of new rules to C1, which sort of defeats the point of C1, or b) Neuter the Bearpode considerably. Same reason I don't think we'll see a Moran in a C1 branded box. Having the Polaris team as an N4 release whatever month the PanO & YJ Action Packs take the C1 release slots seems more likely to me.
