I think its more signposts along the road towards "all armies are sectorial armies", which is a direction a lot of people (me included) suspect it's going.

So many games, so little time.

So many models, even less time.

Screw it, Netflix and chill.

I would have to rewatch it, but I'm 99% sure that he did not specifically call out one of the Ns as a 2 player box. I believe the wording was that "one of the Ns would be two sectorials released at the same time" and people ran with the 2 player box speculation. And at the time of the video, Tunguska hadn't come out yet or been confirmed as a just normal starter set.


I rewatched it before I posted it earlier, he specifically mentions a Battlebox at gencon.

I really hope not, I'd hate to lose vanilla PanO and vanilla Nomads, too many fun units that aren't in the same sectorials. Right now you need to make a meaningful choice of unit cherry-picking units or paying the AVA tax and getting access to fireteams and I love the fact that both are viable ways to play. More special fireteams to entice players into sectorials would be awesome tho

There's supposed to be a notation in the start about him not calling out the battlebox as 2 new Sectorials. It's in the next part, but still. I'm fairly certain he has not confirmed that the 2 player box would be 2 brand new Sectorials.

No but again, it’s the context of it that makes me believe the battle box is two new sectorials. ‘There’s 5 new sectorials but only 4 Ns, so gencon battlebox’. The wording implies to me that the battlebox is two of the 5 sectorials and that’s why there’s 4 Ns on the timeline.

As it stands, we'll just have to wait and see I guess. I'm still saying no Vedic though, as they kept harping for so long about the "advanced rules" making them unacceptable for a battlebox.

Additionally, ALEPH doesn't have many mercenaries present in their Sectorial roster right now. I don't see their supersecretive spy subsection letting in mercs either.
Ariadnans don't really associate too much with the kinds of mercs that we could potentially see either.

It's another part of the whole harping on Druze vs TAK as a thing to take into consideration. Those two actually have the potential for a shared, generic Merc unit that Varuna and Vedic don't really have (unless CB ignores their own fluff)...but it's kind of an out there one and it would necessitate the unit being taken in lieu of a 7th model for each faction.

The Anaconda with HMG. It's a new profile, we don't have a model yet for it, and they've been mentioned with regards to TAK and MRRF both(which well...one of those is gone now ) and they're in the Druze Bayram list.

Still leaves room for a preorder model that could just be an HVT or something.

Oh snap. We saw a dossier for Wardrivers ages ago, but no miniature release. All of Ariadna released to date gets access to them, and they are a Merc troop. It's gotta be that.

That's actually a good point...and Wardrivers are in Ikari Company too!

TAK ends up higher in points by a few, but also ends up lower in SWC.
The Merc list also is viable for Druze Bayram(the Wardriver isn't available in that Sectorial though...but it's not like they haven't been touting their new 'relaxed' proxy rules right?) and Ikari Company.

I feel like I'm grasping at strings here, but my Spidey Sense is tingling on this. I might be the only one though.

Kurage, not Keurig.

Kurage is the name of the JSA base on Novvy Cimmeria. The JSA starter pack and the terrain in it namedropped it when the release happened, same with Novvy Cimmeria(which somehow YJ launched a massive assault against Kurage Station without Dawn being aware of it?).

What's the bottom line here?

Who is getting Exrah'd/FRRM'd?

Or is this where FRRM gets FRRM'd?

It's an island on Dawn(where Ariadna is located) that basically only exists so they can do events like this and claim they're important one time and then never mention it again.

Oops, thought it was the Wardriver.

My money’s still on Aleph.

Edit: no, it is the Wardriver. She has the same strap, plus the ribbing above it that you can see in the sniper shot. So I’m guessing she’s the preorder merc.

Totally agree that the sniper pic is a Wardriver.
To ad to the preorder merc, Wardrivers are most likely the only hackers accessible to TAK as well so it would fit to have it in the box.

I wonder if there is goin to be a new book at gencon as well since they have ben hinting about there being more than one this year.

My guess is that if there is a new book it will be a October or November release. They've never released a book at Gencon, but they've used Gencon to preview books.

Beyond the Beltway

I'd guess a Christmas time release, but pre-orders sometime before Black Friday and teasers beginning late October. We'll see the background/History for Tunguska, TAK, the Vedic and the remaining forthcoming sectorials in it.

Yes, I know Black Friday is a US thing, but CB very much likes the US market. They are here at GenCon. They are not at Essen Spiel ( are they?)

And, apparently our friendly Infinity Moderator Alpharius is no longer moderating here. Who will be overseeing our nice little community now? I do wish him well in all things.

Heckler looks great.
Raicho looks better than the ol' derpbot version.
Chasseur looks great, but man what a jerk move showcasing them with Loup-Garou models in the promo material.
Magisters look like more Knights. Big "meh" there.

Tankhunter double blister is a huge missed opportunity. The Autocannon Tankhunter really needs a resculpt to be brought up to speed, and it's ridiculous that they don't want to redo such an iconic profile--especially in light of them refusing to put autocannons anywhere else for Ariadna.
