September>December 2024: Nuclear winter has struck, leaving room for the N5

Metsuke is in vanilla. Only shinden not in vanilla is Tanuki (and Yojimbo).

 

Oh, cool, then the Army preview is wrong. Again... :D

 

I mean they could have changed it but based on the vanilla list in the lore book they are in vanilla.

 

It's in it.

 

What an intriguing LT. No shooting weapons and relying on Holoprojector to keep alive. It also does not have a Non LT profile, so you cannot take a decoy.

 

Every S2 with Lt. option is his decoy. Plus, the guy is AVA 1.

 

I would say you can only do that with Holomask... But who knows in N5.

 

Holomask still exist, Sforza is the prove.

Metsuke rely on the opponent not guessing wich of the holograms is the real one. Mehh. At least the Tanuki CoC is cheap

 

I meant the screenshot of the profile on the previous page. Only Shindenbutai is displayed.
But great to see it's also available in Vanilla, it's a cool profile.

 

it seem december releases got pushed to January... No Infinity products for Christmas

 

He has Holoprojector, not Holomask

He brings two of his own decoys with him, but the opponent is always going to know exactly where the three of them are.

Upside is that if he survives he can go back into Holoprojector to re-deploy the decoys. If you don't get lucky it's pretty order-intensive to take him out, which combined with JSA's pretty easy access to CoC means opponents probably aren't going to put much effort into assassination runs.

Very nice profile, and a solid option alongside the Hatamoto LT+1.

 

He only has LT profiles, so if you see him, he is the LT. He is interesting and like others said, their are cheap CoC options. The main things going for him is his absolute value, size, and CC deterrance. He is going to be fun.

 

At my taste counterintelligence and strategos are really good things.
Interresting profile that is worth to try. Especially when JSA (Is this name still actual?) have CoC.
I could agree, it is not autoinclude, but good enough as an option.

I hate, when it is too much "must have" things. It is ok to have some roles that you need and some units to fill them. But that is another question.

Good profile, indeed.

 

Barsuk are like super grunts. I wonder if Grunts are changing in N5?

 

Grunts at least can Infiltrate.

Edit: I saw the Maggie profile in spanish. 72 points with Multi HMG and EM carbine (+2B). Nice. Nothing else added, except an ancillary unit

 

I think several of us mistook the holoprojector for an holomask... Which changes a lot of things, as the LT goes from super safe to super obvious and vulnerable...

 

I can't say I like the Silver Snakes. Albedo? Why?

 

because they shine


Some manned tags have actually now in the army the icons for the N5 ancillary troops. Checked Maghariba, Triphammer and Mechazoid, i dont know if others too
