Glad to know everyone is enjoying the booster post and unit stats.
And Yes Kotch, the stats for the CNC Vixen are correct. It will be interesting to see how this works in my “shoot thru walls army”. I will be using IT on mine. Better to hit than be hit I say. Now back to the boosters.

Sorry not much more today, had clients to see today and Jairus had a football game. We won 52 to 22. Happy Dad…..
More tomorrow.
Takar out………
You do realize that majority of Light mechs do not have evade on the dial? And that the majority of light mechs have defenses around 19 and 20? So why should Matchstick get special treatment?
it's that 19 that drives most people like me crazy. 20's are easily coped with. all i want is to be able to hold down a 22 defense without having to waste a gear slot on a 33pt evade. especialy when Merc Pride negates the evade AND my pilot defense bonuses. i stick evade on match stick, that gives me a 22 after pilot. now merpride lops off +3 from the defense. (+1 def from pilot, +2 from evade) that leaves me with a glorified infantry, that will never be able to utilise it's special ability, no matter how usable and in sync with the mechs capabilities it might be. believe it or not, the extra built in +1 defense actuly does make all the world of a difference.

Drop a damage value by 1, or add in a yellow heat effect. the point is, that a unit must have some weaknesses, and it must have some strengths. I think that Matchstick is a balanced unit and it is an interesting play. It's not top-tier competitive, but neither are 95% of the other units, so hey what can any of us do.
i'll happily pay the extra for the a few clicks of built in evade. the problem again is Merc Pride. i would rather have my Hardened/Heavy Armor for a click or two, and a native 20 defense. as for kurita units not having a weakness? we pay in spades for having our entire dial not have salvage on it. those clicks that NORMALY have salvage on them are simply left off. so a 9 click light mech would normaly be 11 clicks for everyone else. i'm fully aware of my factions paradigm. i simply don't like the fact that after Merc Pride, i'm left with a glorified infantry that will most likely never see the begining of the next turn. 9 clciks is not impossable to dishout...
Wizkids started their list with legendary pilot #
L-054 for Gray Hunter. Now there is 2 L-054 with Jonah Levin and Gwin Fetladral. L-055 goes with Matchstick, L-056 with Starke, L-057 with Fireheart, L-058 with the Beast. Needless to say all Cynthia Kellys (BR) will be package with Fireheart (Liao) and the Liao pilot will probably be packaged with the Beast which is Bannson's. There are going to be another set of these pilots from L-070 to L-077 for tournaments or storylines. They also have 2 GS-061 now with One eye Jack and Alan Pliskin.
Oh ouch geez. If that's true (the numbering problems) it could be a SERIOUSLY HUGE problem.
Or at least a FAQing nightmare. Unless WK goes the easy way out and just...puts them at the end instead...
Also, GCmdrArcanix:
Stop talking about 'Matchstick' already. It's a Unique and while it isn't as good as our other Uniques, it's definitely way better with that damage and special ability than any of the other 'Mechs we've been getting recently.
Watch it. You wouldn't want to make us Kuritans start looking like the old Rust Puppies complaining all the time, would you? ;)
Well the Vixens, Skadi and a few other things just went into the Technical readouts.
The Kurita Vixen has a 14" range energy, 8 attack but 20 defense with Evade for just 107 points - so maybe GCmdrArcanix will be happy...? ;)
The Vixens are very odd. The Elite versions are actually the best ones. IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD! Run!
I'm annoyed that there's Yet Another Nova Cat 16 incher. But the CJF Vixen is astonishingly good, the more I look at it. The Vixens as a whole are pretty much balanced down the line so WizKids did a good job with them.
Basically, short of the annoying proliferation of Wolf ubermechs, WS is looking very, very good.

Well, since I don't need to ask about the Vixen, has anyone gotten their hands on a CJF Vulture IV? I've seen a couple of the other Vultures and they look 'normal'. I'm curious if the CJF one matches them relatively closely or is another mutant like the Mad Cat IV.
