Ready for the fashy circle jerk

Genghis Cohen posted:

I'm not sure, but I think the special Brigada/Massacre/Daktari link requires a full five models, ie it actually is '3 MB + 1 Senor + 1 Daktari'. I know it seems weird, but the rules really are that specific for a lot of special fireteams.

If this Recon format (which I've never played) is aimed at learners or more simple games, I think trying to gain a second back up fireteam might be a bit of an error - even if it's allowed it might leave a bad taste with some of your opponents. Better to take the list building rules in the spirit they're meant and just take a conventional list.

For a small game with those restrictions, I'd advise taking a single 3 man link with a high burst weapon - your main attacking piece. Add a sniper or TR bot if you have enough SWC. That's your overwatch. Throw in a doctor and 1-2 models which either infiltrate or aerial deploy. Then fill the rest with cheerleaders. Gives you a powerful straightforward option, something to pin your opponent down or catch out his shorter-ranged stuff, and the ability to reach forward to his DZ.

Army builder is telling me "up to 3 Mobile Brigada", but you are probably right about having a backup fireteam being against the spirit of the rules.

I'll look at what I can put together with your build suggestions and see what I can come up with.

I saw that pic! Did the "hit" and "!" tokens come with the mercenaries box? I've only managed to get in two games, so I'm not planning to buy any of the expansions, but I do like the sound of the "sorcerer" in Smoke and mirrors (it even has a Monty Python reference!)

It does yup. It has a small sheet for the new effects and abilities and the built in dice symbols. :)

Laxmee is pure filth and Hannibal while great I think is a bit overrated.

I didn't find that, but I found this.


Almost enough to make me wanna run Desperados. Except for the whole 'scalping' thing.


Is the uprising book going to have any new missions in it?

Finished Tarik and Penny. I'm gonna use her as a Zuleyka proxy.
Just need a better smaller brush and less shaky hands so I won't mess up those edge highlights.

I must admit I'm slightly upset I can't use Tarik in ITS tournaments, but I'll manage.

I'm honestly really bored of the Hard Men making Hard Choices, those choices usually being murdering everyone. I don't need the authoritarian Asian state to double down on atrocities. Especially when it all kind of reads as weird reverse WW2?

It's all really tiring and actively pushes me away from the game. It's easy to ignore the fluff by myself, and even with friends, then you jump on the facebook groups or such and people talking about how JSA deserves it all?

Edit: Not to say Infinity is the only or the worst offender of this sort of background material.
