Raindog Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 For beginning games, I like a grunt, hide the LT tactic. He is cheap and you can place him in a hard to kill spot and let it go. Yes, it is a cautious tactic, but players are still learning the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norrad Posted October 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 I recently placed an order with Warsenal. The order came in today and not one part of it was not messed up. The invoice said two of this item I got one. It said pack of five yet I received a pack of three. Etc, etc. Anyone else have any luck with them? This may be my first and last order with Warsenal!

Kremmet Posted October 7, 2016 Report Share Posted October 7, 2016 Yeah, that's very strange. I've personally done many orders with them and have thousands of dollars in bought terrain from them in my gaming group with no mess ups. Sorry that happened to you though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norrad Posted October 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2016 Follow up to my Warsenal order. I was contacted both by the order department and the owner to apologize for the mistake. They told me that they would fix the mistake after the hurricane passes! Now that's pretty amazing. Worrying about an order when a natural disaster is going on around you! Now I feel stupid for not realizing where they were located. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raindog Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 With ten total models, I would not have one order pool. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norrad Posted October 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 I have 2 order pools. Are you saying since I have only 10 models to combine them into one pool only? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudra34 Posted October 9, 2016 Report Share Posted October 9, 2016 I'm pretty sure he means that he would only want one order pool. With only ten models you don't gain anything by breaking up the groups, but you lose the flexibility of using regular orders on the monks if you need to. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norrad Posted October 10, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2016 Another two great games tonight. First game against Haqq and second game vs USARF. Wow, Ariadna has a metric crap-ton of troops and orders. The Shaolin in both games tried to dodge mines. Some were successful others not so much. In both games all of the monks were dead by end of turn one. Go monks go! But overall the MVP for Yu Jing was the Hsien with HMG. He was really great! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norrad Posted October 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 I picked up a few more toys to play with... I got two more Tiger Soldiers - boarding shotgun and spitfire, Yan Huo with HMC, and Sun Tze. I'm really liking the look of the armoured Yu Jing troops. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kremmet Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 All of those are great, but the Tiger Soldiers are especially fun. Mimetism, BS 13, WIP 14, and good specialists? Sign me up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don't Panic Posted October 16, 2016 Report Share Posted October 16, 2016 Tigers are amazing. I'll pipe about sophie as I play aleph: she's imo more a desire in ISS than vanilla aleph. I actually rarely run Sophie in aleph because points and I rarely need a doc with a bunch of nwi and dogged so I just take a 10 point engineer who is better than her at shooting/defense and is disposable :p honestly I'm shocked people rarely talk about dakini paramedics who are 6-4 specialists with mimetism and can be give supportware to kill things. Also just filthy in midfield suppressive fire(and with 6-4 not many orders lol). I'm honestly surprised I haven't ever seen an ISS player have dakini... probably cause they have too much amazing things they get thrown towards the back haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kremmet Posted October 17, 2016 Report Share Posted October 17, 2016 Yeah, you tend to not see Dakini in ISS because Rui Shi are so good and AVA 2. I have run them a few times, however, as they're better than Celestial Guard on the offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norrad Posted October 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2016 Speaking of Celestial Guard, anyone know if they are do for a resculpt? Looks like the ones in the sectorial boxset are different than the ones in the Celestial Guard boxset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norrad Posted October 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2016 Purchased a few models this week while i was in Tucson. Managed to pick up another Tiger Soldier and Zuyong with HMG. I am frantically assembling figs for this afternoons games. Here is my list. I am thinking that I am going too specialized, but I guess that is kinda the problem with Yu Jing unless you go with Shaolin or Kuang Si. Yu Jing ────────────────────────────────────────────────── 8 ZÚYǑNG Lieutenant (AutomediKit) HMG / 2 Breaker Pistols, Knife. (1 | 39) HSIEN HMG, Nanopulser / Pistol, AP CCW. (2 | 61) IMPERIAL AGENT (Multispectral Visor L1, Marksmanship LX) MULTI Sniper Rifle / Pistol, CC Weapon. (1.5 | 32) ZHANSHI (Forward Observer) Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 12) ZHANSHI (Forward Observer) Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 12) ZHANSHI Paramedic (MediKit) Combi Rifle / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 13) TIGER SOLDIER Paramedic (MediKit) Combi Rifle + Light Flamethrower / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 29) TIGER SOLDIER Boarding Shotgun / Pistol, Knife. (0 | 25) 4.5 SWC | 223 Points Open in Infinity Army 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kremmet Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 What do mean by going "too specialized?" Do you mean you have too many specialists? Yu Jing isn't really known for any specific weaknesses as they're more of a middle-of-the-road faction. It sounds like you mean you've invested too many points over accumulating orders which is likely true, but YJ has a bevvy of troops from pretty much the entire gamut of pricing. For example, swapping your Tigers out for Tokusetsu instead would maintain the two specialists and save you quite a few points which would be a great way to expand your order pool. It's easy to overload on expensive troops especially with how cool they are, but try to keep in mind that vanilla lists tend to be strong with the wider their tool box rather than the more specific which is definitely not something YJ struggles with. Of course I understand that the limits of a collection definitely impose certain restrictions, but I'm hoping to impart that that isn't the same as a faction deficit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norrad Posted October 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 No you are correct. I meant that I spent quite a few points and SWC with very few models to show for it. The list did reasonably well tonight. I fought Ariadna twice. The first game I won with all objectives gained. Well I didn't actually claim his LT but his medic shot him with a med kit and killed him for me! The second game I got my heavy armoured ass handed to me by one model- Roger Van Zant. I didn't know what he could do, and now I do. He killed 5 models in one turn! Great games and lessons learned! ???????? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norrad Posted October 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Looks like we did Van Zant wrong. I could have used 'Warning' since both zanshi's were inside the Hsiens ZOC or vice versa and he was in their ZOCs when he was shot. At the end of the order they could have turned to face the target without generating AROs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudra34 Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Ah sorry about that! This is something that we rarely see, so sorry that we didn't have a great answer for you last night. Even after playing for a year, we still make some mistakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindog Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Darron,I am sorry we got that wrong. I thought there was a solution to the problem. I added Warning! to the rule of the day....... Thank you,Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kremmet Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Yeah, warning is a weird rule with weird interactions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norrad Posted October 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Guys, not a problem. In the grand scheme of things we all learned something new or at least I did. Make sure someone is looking behind you - check your 6! Yup, lesson painfully learned. Still I got in two good games. I'm happy. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norrad Posted November 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2016 Picked up a couple more models today. I got the Yan Huo with Missile Launchers and the Yaoxie Remotes. Plus I got in on the Fat Mat sale and picked up 2 mats. I can't wait to get started on some terrain. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
