Interesting. Daofei's coat seems to be more of a cape. But why does he have a Spitfire and an HMG? Isn't that kind of redundant to have both?

HMGs are kind of a long range firebase weapon while Spitfires are a closer-in support/suppression weapon.

Daofei have Infiltrate so can be either role.

Whoever chose to have those as white was silly. The mixture of the white cables and black and red armor is what really is making the CA look for him.

These are the "generic" profiles for Vanilla, so the AVA is not right. Kriza Borac are looking at something like AVA3-4 for Tunguska.

Kriza Borac are not complete according to Bostria and might change before release.

"Full Auto" is a new skill that lets you boost your Burst value on all weapons. Full Auto L2 basically makes a single model into a Link Team.

That is Full Auto 1, Full Auto 2 makes enemies receive a -3BS, both applicable only in the active turn.

Kamau rework is interesting makes them quite good at static defence but sacrificed mobility a lot.

Edit we also learned Varuna will have a female Orc character, couldn't get the name though, speculation now for Orc fireteams in Varuna.

Things are subject to change, hence why I didn't post the details on Full Auto L2.

Kamau rework is interesting makes them quite good at static defence but sacrificed mobility a lot.

It also made them more expensive than Wildcats...so "quite good" isn't quite what people are discussing regarding Kamau.

for a static defence, probably for a Haris, or full firebase, they are not bad, mimetism and high BS will make them survivable, for a mobile fireteam, they are not that great, still mimetism is good, but the 4-2 is quite taxing on orders.

Kamau are supposed to be 4-4, not 4-2.

I disagree they are really, really nice, it might not fit your play style, but their potential is obvious and yes I realise they are just a point shy from a Bagh Mari.

It's not a question of playstyle. It's, as always, a question of yet another bloated and uninspired PanOceanian profile that doesn't actually do anything interesting or unique.

Well that is what PanO do, you understand that they are optimised, streamlined and single minded.

Full Auto? Yet Another rule? Ya basta, CB.

Still, the Kriza Borci look darned useful. The Kamau? It can hold my Bagh-Mari's beer.

Well, there goes the interest i had in Varuna out the window. Its like the Fusiliers profiles with mimetism slapt on them for 11p extra.
Even removed the only unique thing they had in PanO to make them "streamlined", the LgL with x visor.
If they didn't want to give them a boarding shotgun to differentiate them from the Bag-mari they could have given them a Dual SMG profile on one of their specialist options and/or a vanilla Kamaou.

The Kriza Borak on the other hand is very nice. They even have a B3 DAM14 shock gun for close range. Like the Auto Lvl2 skill as it makes them good on the offensive even against msv users.
The question is, would you rather have one Borat or two Kamaou?

I wouldn't cal PanO optimized. Thats the ALEPH department were almost everything is optimized for the purpose the unit has from the cheap Dakini and Thorakitai to the super optimized units such as Post-humans and Achilles without any extra dodas on to inflate costs.
Streamlined and single minded i can agree upon, but then streamlined is in most cases uninteresting and boring.

Wait, So the non faction mini in each box is actually.. only useful to the other box? Huh? That seems like kind of a **** move.

Well, the Authorized Bounty Hunter works in this aspect as the boxes aren't meant to be Sectorials for PanO/Nomads. ABHs are available to any Vanilla Human force.

But yeah. That's about the size of it.
