i whish kitties woulg also get elementals :)

cats might get an elemental, we dont know yet... at least we get a sylph! (infantry with VTOL movement type)

Yeah, that may be the SS strategy but the its main benefits were adopted by almost every other faction at a lower cost. If the SS will be left out in the next set, at least should have decent goodbye-mechs.

flamers (a spirit cat trait) are the only thing on the cyclops that is un-swordsworn like...

heres my prodictions for the SC's in FP

Infantry
We all know that the Kittys are getting a sylph. My prodiction is eather a halftrack (Doubtful but heck i can hope cant it) are the flamer team -.- for some reason im almost going to bet that we get the latter..

Vehicles..
we know that the kittys are geting the "TSEMP" Tank Skanda
My prodictions.
Green Sniper Artillery that couldnt hit the broad side of a barn WITH LOS
Cardinal Transport Most likely a vet but i have a big feeling this will be our new "Crappy" transport that MAYBE will be a 3 caper but i seriously think its going to be a 2 as in the spolier..
and last but not least.
Skadi VTOL. Why i dont know whishful thinking i guess.. but seriously it will be the
Kite Recon Vehicle

Mech's
we know SC gets a spider. heres my odds on the other 6 (nkowing that we are out for the salvagemechs.)
Ocelot 90% why becuase Wizkids loves the SC so much that they need to give them another useless light mech. Mostlikely stats Pulse for 2 secondary electric for 2 at 14 range with a desent movement of 8 and JJ a 20 DV and a 8 AV.
Panther 10% its most likely going to be #### so im not going to even talk about it.
Koshi 0% we got one in DA and i doubt we will see another one poping up in FP for the kittys
Stinger 50% why? from what zog added next to its name in the spoiler. #### mech with #### damage and #### attack sounds up the Kittys alley.
ShadowHawk IIc 40% im hoping we get a Shadowhawk. i dont know why but it just sounds cool and most likely would be athe most useful non mech the SC's could get.
and the Griffion. 0% not comenting we just aint going to get one.

and prodictions for the Spider LE.
stats
Primary melee/Agility 3
Secondary electric range 0/8 with Pulse for 3
Attack 8-9
Mech 10 with JJ
DV 18

Most likely we will get "Sweep" as the primary SE but im hoping we get Agility for the first o 3-4 clicks then a click or two of "Sweep" then 2-3 clicks of no SE then about 4 clicks of salvage. markers on click 4,8,10

all for a testy 138 PT..

then again this is coming from a guy who calls himself loco =)

good predictions! ...i think...

sounds like more #####ing to me, not very accurate.

uh, yup

eh we just have to wait for FP to ocme out and see if i was right. I never siad we WHERE going to get them i just said its my Non expert opinion judging from previous set and previous trends that the SC has set. I might be wrong in a few cases i hope im right but hey id love to see the kitties get a few useful units for once and not just C.R.A.P that they seem to have gotten lately, (Example Towed A4, Mjnolir)

i agree with you about the sniper that couldent hit the broad side of a barn...

loco, I don't think you are being fair.

We got 4 16" range energy 'Mechs, all but one having a 10 attack, the other with a 9 AV. That is awesome IMHO. The fact that we get TSEMP (which I think will kick ###... eat it VTOL!) is also a bonus. If we got a 3 cap transport than I think I might purr... I mean... be happy.

Monic Deleportas will hopefully be as awesome as Youree and Zabiha. I love our heavies.

However, with this set geared towards low defense and light attack, I think I will be pining for the vehicles and the infantry most of all.

My prediction is that the sylph, if they have decent AV and damage, will be incredibly useful, and I hope to get a lot of them. Think about it... infantry that can move and fire in the same turn. Will rank right up there with VTOLs. I imagine and army of nothing but SC sylph, Donars, and Crows. That would be funny. Base this you turkey!

I hope that in the set after FP, that DF gets some loving. I mean, come on. We haven't gotten a 'power piece' since the DF DI Schmitt Tank and Danni Haag. Well, there is the DF Donar, but that's 1 *single* piece in the last ~4 sets. SC possibly has the best distribution of 'good' to 'great' 'Mechs in EVERY set, and I hope that DF will *finally* get in on the action.

what about the mjolnir? surely an attack 11 5 damage chargemonkey with evade and 28 inch run counts as a power piece......

What about the DF ATVs!

THe DF Mjolnir would only do 3 damage on a charge and has NO evade. The only one with evade is the BR one.
