Hi everybody, So in their example, CB tells us that they replace the nox spec ops unit with the dakini. Do they have the same number of units? Could it not be a problem for positioning them on the board otherwise? Also, does anybody really think of substituting ennemies other than Onyx and Morat for the core ennemies and Aleph and Pano for the expansion units? The rest is not very fluffy, it seems to me... I mean replacing the o12 with any other faction would be okay... as long as we can replace all of them... I don't see myself mix those nomads with anything else... What do you think? And the spiral corps. I know they're mercs, but still, I don't really see myself mixing them... Maybe with the CA, saying some Tohaa were integrated in the CA... In short, I'll get the Aleph reinforcement pack to replace some 012 units and Onyx to replace some Shaavasti units...
You can replace combined army unit by human sphere unit and stay coherent with the game history using two reason : - shas manipulation : shas are expert at manipulation and disinformation. Having them manipulate human sphere troop to attack defiance hero is not out of character (by replacing a high rank officier by a speculo agent, by framing the heroes...) - sepsitor : the fluff show whole regiment being septisorised, so why not send a group of controled human (except Ariadnad because no cube) against the defiance heroes Regarding tohaa in a CA group : a third of the tohaa empire is under CA control. The troop from these planet often disguise as tohaa trident troop to attack humans.
Yes, for the Tohaa, it would not bother me too much. But inserting the HS with the CA would still feel like a cheesy plot twist to me... Well, at least, there are a few that I can use, the most important to me (aside of my Nomads, which I'm not sure to use in Defiance because of this)
