    After a nice return to Nomads, I decided to look over to my PanO forces to see if armor now lives up to the hype. In constant need for fun, interesting missions, Nimlothautle and I decided to go back to ITS10 and play a game of Frostbyte with the following conditions:
    • ITS11 Classified objectives are used
    • Forward Deployment for MI is not in effect
    • You cannot strip the 2 orders from a limited insertion list.

    Some general thoughts:
    • 6pt Desperados with 5b assault pistols are bananas!
    • Love the new Unknown Ranger.
    • I was excited to see I could run a Crusade Fireteam AND a Seraph in the same list. Seems like Frostbyte was a really good mission for this particular setup as well.
    • USA had an uphill battle on this one, with HI and TAGs not being impacted by the extreme cold. My opponent played well but he was definitely playing on "hard mode" by playing USA, especially against such a hard-to-kill LT and datatracker like Joan.
    • Although it's kind of a nonissue since its not in the most recent ITS seasons, but I think we'll house rule Frostbyte missions from now on to not apply the "ignore extreme cold" to HI. Game seems to turn into annihilation pretty quickly if you have some powergamer running a degenerative list with almost all HI or TAGs. ;)
