Adil benefits a lot from the +3/-3 of MA2, it'd only be a waste if he had MA3-4. The main ones I worried about were Oniwaban, but the leaks showed them with an EMCCW, so it's probably going to be OK. Chances are any trooper that was affected got given an additional CCW, kind of like how anyone with a Shotgun and chain colt in N3 had the chain colt removed in N4.
Yes for him it's not that big of a deal. He's only missing out on the +1 PH. The Hulang is showing MA L3 and only a Mono CCW. I hope it's fixed. Otherwise he's paying for something he can't use.
If Bare Hands sticks around then there's a use, albeit a limited one, for MA3+ on fixed-damage CCW profiles or otherwise odd situations. I know my old plan for Aida Swanson involved Bare Hands, since you needed a live target for Scavenger, and you get better numbers punching Bolts than you do hitting them with a Shock CCW. Lastly, there's Classified Objectives that you might want an Unconscious target for, and higher Bare Hands damage helps with that if you have an Overmurder CCW like a Mono or Viral one.
Speaking of which: Is Scavenger still in the rules? Anyone with the book care to tell? Hoping it hasn't gone the way of the dodo with many other cool things that got removed because people didn't use them enough.
It's a dead dodo. Not in the Special Skills index. (My book is with my Warcor, he lives on the complete opposite side of Stockholm, but he's sent me a few pieces of info - I'm intentionally avoiding milking him for info, mind you.)
Also looks like you dont get the token back, if you revive the rem driver. This kinda kills Apsara in OSS for me.
Targeted being persistent. Note that they now fire 16-24" on +0, instead of -3, so it's not even a nerf overall.
@ijw Does a model with Baggage (and maybe similar rules) count as an allied trooper to itself? Or in short, can a trooper with Baggage reload itself?
It seems at least the Alignment and Terminology does not specify an "allied" unit has to be a different unit, so to me it seems Baggage can reload themselves (provided they get a Disposable equipment)
