Excellent! It is a fun night!

It is now Eight blocks long

The line is literally 5 blocks long to get into Rose City Comicon

Tonight, I assembled the Danavas Hacker. It is a beautiful model and easy to assemble. The was a very minor gap. I sealed it with a minute amount of green stuff. I don’t know if I will use the model as a Danavas. The unit may be less than optimal. A 25 point Hacker plus without NWI, BTS, ODD, or Mimetism. I may use it as Proxy Mark 5.

I smite you all with my awesome! 😉

Per Patton Oswalt: Burt Reynolds & Clint Eastwood were fired from GUNSMOKE & RAWHIDE at the same time. Burt was told he couldn't act and Clint his neck was too skinny. In the parking lot, Burt said to Clint, "I dunno what you're gonna do, but I'm gonna take acting lessons.

1. Model in Camo State goes into Suppressive Fire is revealed and can be ARO'D by going into a Suppressive State. 2. Models that are coordinated must be in the same group and the same training. 2.A. A model can only react to one opposing model in a coordinated order. So if 4 models move into the LOF of a single, enemy model, the enemy model can only ARO to one. However, multiple opposing models can react to to a coordinated order, they can only choose to react to models in LOF or ZOC, and if they have multiple options, can only react to one. 3. The tear drop template can have extreme angles, but it can only use one. The template can be place high, but then it ignores the prone model in front of the template. 3..A. The circular template can only hit one level. It can hit the guy on the ground, but not the guy up on the building and vice versa.

IN EXTREMIS RECOVERY - New Season 10 Classified “Objective: A trooper in Engaged state with an Unconscious or Spawn- Embryo enemy trooper must spend a Short Skill and succeed at a WIP+3 Roll. After a successful WIP Roll the enemy trooper is removed from play. “ Essentially, this classified is a harder Extreme Prejudice . Instead of a free Coup de Grace, you have to make a modified WIP roll. Is it needed? No? It is minor difference. I would like to the read, ‘If the WIP roll is failed, the attempt is failed, and the unconscious model is removed from play.’ In this case, there would be one bite at the apple.

And they are MI.

And Bakunin.

HVT: IDENTITY CHECK - New Classified Card “REQUIREMENTS: Biometric Visor, Multispectral Visor or Sensor. Objective: A trooper with the Biometric Visor or the Multispectral Visor piece of Equipment with the enemy HVT model inside of his Zone of Control and LoF, or a trooper with the Sensor Special Skill with the enemy HVT model inside his Sensor Area, must spend a Short Skill and succeed at a WIP Roll. “ Is this classified awkwardly written? Yes. In reality, the card has two parts. The first section of the classified allows models with biometric and multispectral visors to achieve an objective. Models with the visors must be in Zone of Control and Line of Fire of an HVT. Then, they need to spend a Short Skill and succeed at a WIP roll to score the classified. Models with the Sensor skill only need to be in Zone of Control of an HVT and succeed at short skill WIP roll. Is it a hard classified? I think it is. MSV comes with a premium price and optimal models with MSV tend to have long ranged weapons to dominate fire lane. Biometric Visirs are rare. The best bet is Sensor. Almost every faction has a FO, Sensor remote. Those that don’t have units with Sensor like Antipodes. Regardless, there are only a handful of models capable of attempting to accomplish the classified.

Landing Assistance - Season 10 Rule “Troops possessing the AD: Combat Jump, Inferior Combat Jump or Superior Combat Jump Special Skill will not need to place the Circular Template to represent the Drop Zone. They can instead deploy on any flat surface of the game table, as long as their base is completely in contact with the surface on which they will land. It is not allowed to deploy inside scenery buildings or closed scenery elements with a full or partial roof, even if they have open doors or windows, such as a Objective Room.” With tables becoming denser and more diverse, the Landing Assistance rule is a big boost. Players with AD troops no longer need to worry about finding a place to make the circular template fit. Any flat space will do. Right now, most AD units simply walk on a board edge. This rule grants more impetus to deploy away from the edges. The biggest win is for AI Beacons. There is a greater chance to deploy them safely instead of off the table or in a fire lane.

Long Service- Season 10 Rule “During Season 10 any troop whose Troop Classification is listed as ‘Character’ also have the Troop Classification of Veteran Troop.” This is rule has a subtle effect by allowing a few more models to accomplish classifieds like Capture or HVT: Kidnap and grants them a bonus in Hunting Party.

Some MI units have flamers like Marauders and Wildcats. They can add a new set of options for camo infiltrators.

Bravery - Season 10 ITS “During Season 10 any troop possessing the Medium Infantry (MI) Troop Type will have the Forward Deployment L1 Special Skill with no extra Cost. In the same way, those Medium Infantry (MI) that already have the Forward Deployment L1 Special Skill will then be considered to have Level 2.” An overt attempt to boost the use of often expensive Medium Infantry especially those with the dreaded 4-2 movement value. The rule gives MI haris units, gunslinger and button pushers a boost in efficiency.

FOLLOW-UP- New Classified Objective “REQUIREMENTS: Medium Infantry or Heavy Infantry Objective: A trooper whose Unit Type is Medium or Heavy Infantry, with the enemy HVT model inside his Zone of Control, must spend a Short Skill and succeed at a WIP Roll. Bonus: If the trooper has LoF to the enemy HVT model the WIP Roll gets a +3 MOD.” This is a nice way idea for a classified card. It is like a Data Scan for non-Hackers with an added bonus for being in line of sight. First, the card allows non-specialist units to achieve objectives. Second, the card rewards troops that are under utilized: Medium and Heavy Infantry. Finally, the classified has a nice synergy with rule allowing Medium Infantry to have Forward Deployment Level One for Season 10.
