    "When creating a Fireteam: Core that includes Wildcard troopers, you must include at least one trooper from one of the units listed for that Fireteam in the Sectorial chart, or a trooper who counts as one of those units."

    Is that official and should it be in the OP if it is?

    If so, would be good to include an example. IE a Zu Yong in the "Zu Yong" link of 4 ABH + Rui Shi

    Yes, it's official. I'll update the first post in a few days.

    One of the troopers needs to have the Duo Special Skill. The Shang Ji does.

    How does Kiel-Saan Triad A work? Which of these triads are viable and which aren't?

    1) 1 Kiel-Saan + 2 Draals (pretty sure this one works)
    2) 2 Kiel-Saan + 1 Draal
    3) 3 Kiel-Saan

    The reason I'm asking is because they didn't specify
    "Kiel-Saan + 2 Draal Saboteurs."

    They said "Only with Draal Saboteurs".

    Your option 3 doesn’t appear to fulfil the text because it wouldn’t be “with Draal Saboteurs”.

    Could you explain?

    How does 3 Kiel-Saan include any Draal Saboteurs?

    And sorry, I didn't see your previous post until I just searched back through the thread.

    I think we've misunderstood each other. I already answered that option 3 isn't valid. The other options should both be OK.

    For Tartary fireteams is it ok to have a frontovik fireteam with one frontovik and four wildcards? If 3 of these are all Vet Kazaks then does the plain fireteam become a special fireteam of 3 Vets and 2 frontotviks triggered preventing 1 Col Voronin and 1 frontovik? Would this change if a 112 doctor was included making it a different special fireteam? Also with spec ops; these come out based on kazaks; can a spec op go in a kazak fireteam? Finally can stated duo's team up with each other; e.g. a Ratnik with a Dynamo?

    You need one or more Frontoviks in the Core, you can then add any number of Wildcards (Vets or Voronin). Even if you had the 3 Vets + 2 Fronties Core Voronin could still be a member due to his Wildcard Status.

    You can also use the 112 as the base of a Special Core, so a 112, 3 Vets, and Voronin would be a valid Special Core Fireteam (112+up to 4 Frontoviks).

    A Line Kazak Spec-Op is still a Line Kazak and counts as such for the purposes of Fireteams (and AVA) as described in the ICS rules in Daedalus' Fall.

    Duos still adhere to the requirement that all members come from the same troop type, so Ratnik + Dynamo is not legal. However Ratnik + Wildcard or Dynamo + Wildcard is valid as only one member needs the Duo skill.

    Hi!

    I think that the second bullet of "can be part of/can join..." should be reworded, because that 'replace' is being use by some players to act like a 'count as' when isn't exactly the same thing and in some cases has a direct impact in the FT composition.

    I would like to remark the O.S.S. special haris of 2 yadus + 1 Asura. Some players are trying to do an illegal FT haris of 1 yadu, 1 asura and 1 rudra, aducing basically that as the rudra can be part of any yadu FT, they can replace one yadu with it, but it isn't correct:

    1. The special haris has a fixed composition of 2 yadus + 1 asura.
    2. The rudra neither is a wildcard neither count as yadu.
    3. So rudra can't join this special haris FT because it has no room for it.

    To the best of my knowledge, this is not an illegal Fireteam. It's a Yadu Fireteam, therefore a Rudras GunBot can be part of it.

    What's still up for debate is whether it's legal if there are no Yadus in the Fireteam.

    Yes, it is a Yadu Fireteam, but:

    1. it's a special haris fireteam with a fixed list of troops (2 yadu + 1 asura). (even you stated that special haris must has the specified number of troops)

    2. rudra neither is wildcard neither can count as yadu, it is only able to join the fireteam.

    So, with the fixep list of troops in the special haris ft, and the rudra being unable to replace any yadu (remind that it can only be part, but not replace any member), there is no room for it in the Special Haris Fireteam.

    But the wording in the clarification about "can join" troops seems to mean that it is the same of "replace", at least for some players, and it isn't correct, so my suggestion of rewording that bullet, please.

    Valerya is not a wildcard, she's merely able to join any fireteam (similar to rudra who can join yadu fireteam but is not a wildcard).
    The fact she's a not-a-wildcard doesn't prevent her from joining a special Duo fireteam with a fixed list of troops (1 Scarface + 1 Cordelia).

    Yes, but in this case, the haris has a fixed composition, how do you form a legit special haris with 2 yadus + 1 asura? There arent any room for the rudra. It is impossible.

    CB should state clearly these special rules and for the Aleph love... Simplify them!
