Reinforcements for Tohaa - where do we stand

That's just doomsaying and being a big negative Nancy lol(C)

 

Not enough to matter and not enough to warrant the salty sweet tears you are crying.(C)

 

And I think that is more than enough, this can stop now.

 

Yeah!My hand hurts,never gave so much slapping before.Shut it.
Shut the whole Tohaa forum,after you showed today.Do you guys in CB even have conscience?How could you show this trash?It would be even better if you gave us nothing,just firm promise that after some delay you will give us decent reinforcement.

 

I'm a little disappointed by no new troops, but hardly surprised. That's a good suite of reinforcement profiles, though. Depending on our access to commlinks (+1 or +2), that gives us a good set of 3, 4 or 5-trooper reinforcement groups. Profiles like Sakiels and Neema are just generally good value elements that like being dropped into the midfield, and Rasail are excellent reinforcement troops for similar reasons.

 

For example, just going off what was shown in the video and with the expectation of some changes, these are both very nice four-trooper reinforcement sets to drop onto the halfway line:

REINFORCEMENTS OPTION 1 4
RASAIL Light Shotgun, Contender(+1B) / Pistol, CC Weapon. (0 | 32)
CHAKSA PERIPHERAL Heavy Flamethrower / Pistol, CC Weapon. (- | 4)
RASAIL Viral Combi Rifle / Pistol, CC Weapon. (0 | 35)
CHAKSA PERIPHERAL Heavy Flamethrower / Pistol, CC Weapon. (- | 4)
SAKIEL Viral Combi Rifle, E/M Grenades / Pistol, CC Weapon. (0 | 23)
CHAKSA AUXILIAR FTO (Sensor, Baggage) Heavy Flamethrower(+1 Dam) ( ) / Pistol, CC Weapon. (0 | 10)

REINFORCEMENTS OPTION 2 4
SAKIEL Spitfire / Pistol, CC Weapon. (1.5 | 22)
NEEMA Breaker Combi Rifle, Panzerfaust, Nanopulser / Viral Pistol, Shock CC Weapon. (0 | 35)
DRAAL Submachine Gun, Pulzar, D-Charges, Shock Mines / Viral Pistol, CC Weapon. (0 | 33)
CHAKSA AUXILIAR FTO (Sensor, Baggage) Heavy Flamethrower(+1 Dam) ( ) / Pistol, CC Weapon. (0 | 10)

I feel like we can definitely make this work :)

 

Definitely. It would have been nice to have something more exciting, all the same, but we can take a look at the final profiles and maybe get lucky.

Tohaa remains a puzzle for CB to address from a rule balance perspective - what makes it interesting to its players leads to bad experiences for other players, and they haven't fully figured out how to address that problem. They tried an idea with Spiral, but that just made vanilla tohaa more scary so adding profiles here is probably dangerous without a lot of testing, whereas adding a couple lean TAGs to PanO and Aleph is kinda... fine? not outta the ordinary?

 

Yeah, you can surely stop silencing customer discontent already. We've had more than enough of that.

 

I think the Kauuri mirrorball profile might be a little hidden gem - it's one of the few sources of smoke (eclipse in this case) in reinforcements, and dropping an eclipse template on the midline makes movement from your dz significantly less taxing on the limited order pool of G1 orders.
We'll have to see how well do the Rasails perform with so few orders - I personally would be leaning towards maxing the 5 slots

My first draft is:


──────────────────────────────────────────────────
5
NEEMA Breaker Combi Rifle, Panzerfaust, Nanopulser / Viral Pistol, Shock CC Weapon. (0 | 35)
SAKIEL Spitfire / Pistol, CC Weapon. (1.5 | 22)
SAKIEL (Paramedic) Combi Rifle, E/M Grenades ( | MediKit) / Pistol, CC Weapon. (0 | 19)
KAAURI Sentinel Submachine Gun, Nanopulser(+1B), E/M Mines / Pistol, PARA CC Weapon(-6). (0 | 12)
CHAKSA AUXILIAR FTO (Sensor, Baggage) Heavy Flamethrower(+1 Dam) ( ) / Pistol, CC Weapon. (0 | 10)

We don't know which Kaurii profiles will be available as reinforcements, but a couple of the Kaurii would be lovely little options if we get them - the E/M mines, the Mirrorball one, and even the Spiral Corps Paramedic profile would be awesome as a reinforcement troop.

 

All units will be the same,+\- 1 pts
No NCO or Tactical awareness.
Lil bastards with E/M mines and SMG,will be good.Mirrarbol questionable in group with 5 ??? Orders as it only 1 dice.

 

Putting a mirrorball model in the midfield literally as a zone of control ARO piece has serious utility. Mirrorball is an obscene ARO under the right circumstances. I'm considering the Igao just for that purpose, honestly.

 

The rules are fine buddy. I was disappointed there were no new profiles pal.
Those are two different things mate.

 

Gorgos reinforcement would've been interesting and maybe make me consider fielding one. :(

 

that's what i was secretly hoping for the most.

 

Like, they could've nerfed it to whatever they want if they feel it's too good for a reinforcement, but at least that would've been a really cool new way to play Tohaa and shine light on unused cool profile.

 

You grow so friendly after spanking lmao

 

Are you Okay?

 

When a dude keeps replying to the same comment multiple times, that gets annoying. He could have just bunched all his replies into one.

 

We got something! Freelance Operator SAMSA is going to be all ours! (And every other vanilla army and some NA2 including Spiral)
