My copy has arrived, and I have already had a game with it - typed up a few personal thoughts on it;

2+ reroll jink is very nice. Unfortunately for the RW though - relying on cover saves is not a viable survival method. Not to mention it forces them to reduce their offensive output as well. It is a much needed buff and brings DA back into the light but I don't see it being too too effective.

Honestly I think the strongest Da list is going to be LS spam - I am very happy about this because I have 9 LS already with typhon missles. Maybe I'll pick up 9 more .

Pretty sure they can jink and still fire at full BS. Also 2+ reroll cover is amazing.

With the RWSF, you may turboboost the first turn instead of firing, and you count as having jinked, on your next turn you may fire at normal BS, instead of reduced BS for jinking.

You cannot turbo and fire on the first turn.

But why would you turboboost when you can just scout, move and jink and THEN shoot?

Yeah it is awesome. Ignore cover is pretty standard stuff in this game is all I'm saying.

Also, dark reapers will ruin your day ignoring that jink. Does the darkshroud give a flat cover save? Or does it just bonus your jink? That'll come into play.
