    It was confirmed multiple times that IA doesn't count towards 5 new armies.

    The new ones should be 5/6 from this list:

    1. Foreign Legion
    2. Dahsat Company
    3. Ramah Task Force
    4. Spiral Force

    So far so good these should be set in stone.

    If someone could confirm the last one that would be really neat.
    As far as I remember from one of the recent videos a NCA rework was mentioned and Shasvastii already got pushed back from the original 3rd Offensive book.

    So what will it be? NCA kinda makes sense with the Foreign Legion at its heels (and if Shasvastii still aren't ready).
    Would be kinda surprised but happy if Shas makes it this book, but simply haven't seen any leaks, previews and teasers for them aside from Aida last year. The release schedule is also kinda packed with the last additions and the 3 brand new full fledged Sectorials.

    Changes to NCA will be probably minimal, quality of life upgrades, along the same lines as ASA changes. So I wouldn't count it against that 5 armies limit. My money is still on Shasvastii.

    That is a safe bet.

    My mistake then. I must have gotten confused with IA showing up as the blue N in January.

    Given Ramah have already had their starter released in Red Veil, and Spiral we know are getting an Army Box, does that mean we're looking at an Operation: Merc vs Merc? (Foreign and Dahsat? Tied into Aristeia releases?)
    Or Shas(?) vs Merc?

    I suspect we'll get a better idea after being able to read DF. Unless the box will be coming after that in the timeline. Coldfront comes just after Uprising timeline wise right?

    Probably better to say it is similar to Morats and MO so as not to cause a shelving panic.

    The only armies that haven't been in a 2 player Operation box is CA and Tohaa. They are always vanilla.

    Though half of Red Veil and both sides of Coldfront were technically also Sectorial starters.

    Plus Tohaa are a faction, not a sectorial. I can actually see Tohaa vs. Shasvastii Operation box.

    Must you ruin my hopes and dreams? I'm still keeping my fingers crossed for an Uhlan variant that has T/O and mine-launches 3xNeoterra Bolts in a haris link. LET A MAN DREAM.

    Also its gotta be said that MO for better or worse got a significant shakeup with the last book (even if it wasn't a "Goodnight update"). NCA might get as substantial an overhaul. Not saying its likely but saying we shouldn't rule it out as being hyper implausible.

    Do the Foreigners have any connections to MRRF? I am not familiar with this part of fluff.

    At least before, CB wasn't willing to put aliens into one of the 2-player boxes because aliens don't sell as well as humans do.

    This may have changed.



    No, the Foreign Company is a mercenary force in the Human Sphere, it's not related to either the modern-day French Foreign Legion or the Infinity Merovingians.

    I'm pretty sure Bostria mentioned Shas being in the book in one of the recent videos.

    Awesome. I'm very excited to see the reworked Shasvastii.

    That was my initial thought but the more I look at it the more I'm not so sure.

    It looks like an AD unit...in general I am glad that Shassvasti and something for Tohaa is coming. The long wait for something wasnt very motivational for some players.
