Finally read through everything and feeling pretty positive! The links sound great. Wish I had them for Vanilla lol! Oh well. I'm especially excited for the Hulong. Picture anyone?
Sadly, we haven't gotten anything for them yet. If there hasn't been any art that has surfaced yet I doubt we will see any right now. Figured the folks with the book could elaborate.
Ugh. I hope they don't get Advanced Command, that's one seriously overpriced skill. A Command Token just isn't worth 7 points.
If you say so, but the amount of games where I finish with CTs left over or where I could've used those 5pts for a key improvement when taking Sun are numerous.
That would explain it - I run out of Command Tokens in a good 90% of my games, especially if running a Sectorial and doing things with Fireteams.
i run out of Commandtokens everytime i field an EVO bot, rerollable Hacks can just be to important sometimes.
You have a nice weekend too Koni. Thanks for assisting the StateEmpire with the intel you've given us! v:
Also, on the Advanced Command bit. An extra command token is pretty amazing in my book. I use up all of mine every single game I play ( It's a resource you're handed for free, and I'd say NOT using all of them up by the end of the game is wasteful. ). being able to do anything from dragging some attack pieces and specialists about with a single order to plopping four dudes into supressive fire has saved me more than a single match.
As a Nomad player, I'd kill for CoC, Strategos, Advanced Command, NCO, Tactical Sense... All of these bring a lot to the table. Ultimately orders are resource and resource generation, expenditure and retention capability is a key part of the game. Even if you only do another Coordinated Order, that's three moves from three guys you won't get.
The troops. No really, the little lore bit we got really implies they don't control any REMs or stuff like that directly. They're a buncha tacticians who graduate some sorta tactics academy sponsored by Sun Tze.
Yeah but if you didn't have a command token you'd still have an order so you could spend it to move one guy. What you get with the command token is movement for +3 extra guys, that's the benefit there. Or whatever else you want to use it for!
