Ariadna won, but it spite of all the hate from the haterz, Yu-Jing did super-awesome well, just like CB knew they would.

Haqqislam and Tohaa were also 'honorable' standouts, but Aleph won that award - fewest 'cheaters'.

Ariadna had the most 'cheaters'.

Oh, and Acheron has still not fallen.

Cheaters?

As defined by CB.

In other words, their words, not mine.

Apparently they have some sort of metric for this thing, along with help from WARCORS?

Usually a 'battle report' that is filed and is 'suspiciously' empty and/or lacking in detail, I gather.

Basically anything that didn't make the cut for having enough detail to qualify as a "real" battle report is not counted at the end of the campaign. but they still allow those reports to pad the numbers everyone can see.

Thats why it was kinda viewed as "Propaganda" from the setting perspective. Yu Jing actually had an interesting effect with this in the first campaign. They were initially viewed as winning an area, but then lost it after the "propaganda" was removed from the metrics.

Calling it cheating is just a poor choice of words IMO. I doubt there was much, if any, actual attempts to falsify battle reports. And I doubt a fake battle report would be left blank, actual cheaters would probably put some effort into it. Wouldn't be hard to take some staged photos of a game and type up a few paragraphs about how a staged game went. Or take a bunch of photos of one game and spread them out over several battle reports.

Tartary Army Korps and OSS are up in Army.

Is Shakti supposed to have NWI? because she feels like she should.

Anyway, OSS looks great. It an army I've been wanting for years. i'm super excited for it.

I do kind of wish that they left the Posthumans out though. They're great, but because they're so good they make some other really neat choices in the list less attractive.

There's a lot of errors. And why would they leave the Posthumans out? This is the Sectorial they were designed for.

Tbh Shakti has 2 "real" wounds rather than NWI I think that's better

Woohoo, sectorials are up!

Posthumans are in, Shakti has two real wounds instead of 1+NWI

Awwww yeah. Ava2 Assault Packs!


And what does Mine Dispenser do?

Has anyone who pre ordered from their website during gen con received their stuff yet? Still waiting on mine, cant remember the shipping date they said it would dispatch I'm sure it was early September....

I think orders have started shipping.

Got a message from DHL that im receiving mine tomorrow, so they are getting shipped out now.

I was probably among the first ones who ordered from CB.

Anybody notice any other updates to existing sectorials/profiles?

I know that. As I think I clearly said, I feel like they're so good that they make other options much less desirable.

I just noticed the Samekh FTO (Waht does FTO stand for?) is a Wildcard. Thats great! I was loving the Clipper in Druze.

Edit: I've changed my mind. I thought the Posthumans were AVA 2. At AVA 1 they remain super desirable while still leaving plenty of room for other good options.

I think FTO is Fireteam Operative, but it’s not said anywhere (that I know of), it’s just a guess.

When I saw that in Tunguska I was like "whaaaat" as my last car was a Mitsubishi FTO:



But I doubt CB are using it to mean "Fresh Touring Organisation".

I think it is for Fireteam Option, Fireteam Operative sounds good too.

October release. New Celestial Guards box.

Quite like ‘em. Nothing spectacular, but solid.

I like them too. Nice design and okay poses. The half twist on the male's torsos is a nice touch and gives them a good sense of movement. Also nice to see a male sniper/female gunner (its so often the other way). I really wish they'd try some more interesting hacking poses though. They used to do some neat stuff (Kamau, Vangaurd, Al Hawwa, Dasyuu, Ninja) but now its just the exact same pose over and over.

OSS question:

Shakti has Fireteam: Core. I know she counts as a Yadu for fireteam composition, but as far as I can see theres no Core Fireteams she can join? And of course she's AVA 1 and can't be a a Fireteam by herself. Does she allow for a Yado Core fireteam?

About the yadu, the profiles pdf mentions them having ft:core and Shakti only has "counts as a yadu".
Maybe they're supposed to be core base, maybe they can only form a core ft with Shakti ? I'd wait for them to clear up the Army app before making plans

There's apparently stuff in the PDF that isn't in the Army App.

The web army app has been changed, the yadu now have ft core in their profile!

Very happy with that Kuang Shi controler, particularly the grenade launcher. I think ISS is finally complete, as far as model updates are concerned.

Nothing I noticed (except the HMG yadu now having the english NCO skill rather than the spanish name).
There are still oddities when comparing with the profiles PDF (the sophotects there have a special fireteam option listed but not explained,...).

I noticed that the NCO kept her Combi rifle along with her HMG. That surprised me, since I assumed it was an error.
