Not usually with Rule Of Cool but OMFG! I never thought I'd say this but...I might pick up Tohaa. looks to me like a soft reset with newish direction on the design.
I'm in. This is pretty cool. Why must they drop Something this cool.. Unless Shasvastii is a total dud and I doubt it will be. I might go broke this year... I gotta finish my PanO force.

I'm hoping that they eventually re-edit the rules while at the same time reducing unnecessary rules bloat...
It has redone Campaign Paradiso and Spec Ops rules, apparently.
N4... hopefully they get everything together get rid of a lot of the rules bloat a lot of the embedded rules and get things streamline just a little bit not so much that it ruins the role playing game Skirmish feeling but enough so that it's easily accessible to new players yet still really in-depth that's the dream

Definitely achievable, Infinity just needs a serious trim and edit.
While I agree there's a lot of people that disagree that Infinity should be trimmed or even touched at all. Just have to look back in this thread 6 months for such an argument as well as the official forums where people come out in force against it.
Not sure what the real % of people that don't think there should be some streamlining but with 2 books a years adding rules that get's pretty unwieldy pretty fast.
I doubt there will be much rules trimming. CB-eros likes the game as is, and since they already know the rules, they have a difficult time understanding how difficult it may be for someone else to learn the rules or keep up with all of them... the other side of the Dunning-Kruger effect.
New and Improved Paradiso and SpecOps are fine reasons for me to get this book. Plus, Ramah. No other reason needed.
LE Guijia coming, and Victor Messer, in the ITS box:
Spoiler:
And the whole shebang
Another Brawler as the LE for pre-ordering Daedalus Fries actually is more appealing than Saito Togan wouls have been, at least for me. I'm glad he's just the bundle add on.

Spiral Corps is a Merc company that sells themselves as the top private security against CA but in fact are Triumvirate that use the Merc company as a cover for their other work. So that's answered and it does look like they changed what Triumvirate was going to be.
only a few new rules as they're aware the game is rules heavy
They're adding the ability for one tohaa to build 5-man fireteams.
Strato cloud (SP?) drop a template on themselves for a saturation zone.
A few other small devices like the above.
Sounds like Saito is a CB store exclusive but you don't have to buy any of the bundles to get him -- you can buy him separate. It might just be you'll be able to buy him individually from CB direct, I guess we'll have to wait till Monday to see what the other retailers are doing. But CB will have free shipping for the bundles.
They're hoping at Adepicon they can reveal what the new way to play infinity coming out in Nov is and if they meet that then they want to have it playable at Gencon. It's not Infinity but infinity related like Ariestia!.

Ya, I'm sure they odd phrasing that Carlos used was just due to being not a native English speaker as I don't believe they've done the exclusive bonus just from them before but I felt like mentioning it just in case.

Yeah, he specified on the official forum:
Mmmm... just to be cristal clear about this:
This particular Saito Togan miniature can be purchased separately
If you buy the bundle through the CB online Store you will get it for free.
It's up to other stores and retailers to replicate this bundle offer or to sell their copies separately. Everything is available everywhere.
This particular Saito Togan is a limited edition release. It will never be produced again after April 1st.
Have a nice weekend.

Is anyone else underwhelmed with this mini? Ninja should not be stomping about with rifle.
Even if the scale is off on the old one, I’ll stick with that for now. Lord knows I don’t need anymore ninja anyway...
That's what I'm hoping that is... That would be Wonderful!
Seems like Red is the new Shasvastii color... matches the "Seed soldiers" color and look... could it be a new Sphinx?

I like the concept. Honestly think the old one still looks pretty good, but I'm thankful for newer and cooler things. So far all the reimaginings of old CA stuff has been amazing imo, so I'm excited.
@Modock +1 Good Eye Bro!!!!
And I am definitely digging the revamp design much more than the old design..
I am really really hoping that the rules overhaul for the faction is solid....
good eye Modock
Is it just me or the losing the armored blade arm design thing on the right arm... I really hope so it never really looked good on the old modelsI didn't like it at all
