I've found Shang can be very effective as a speed bump. High movement can get him engaged with a model that is threatening other models in the crew and with Df 6 or 7 (I think) can sometimes last longer than expected...especially in Defensive stance. I had him hold up Teddy for 2 turns in one game.

I'm thinking 2 will be enough and am hoping to get hold of a friends spare Monk so we can sell a pair (UK) between us.

Mei Feng. Gives you another Master for variety and Kang is just generally 'good' - especially against Ressers. Or the Viks boxset will give you an alternative Outcast Master, with Ronin which will work well in an Outcast Misaki crew (and aren't extremely overpriced hiring them as mercenaries if you are still playing Misaki as 10T).

Is that right Mike? My reading of the card is that Misaki only has the option to walk towards the Stalked target. If it isn't in her interests to do so, she can choose not to take advantage of this.

Not taking Assassinate can be as useful as taking it. Knowing that your opponent will take Assassinate against Misaki does allow you to deny 3VP fairly easily by holding her in the backfield. She can still be very useful picking off models trying to place scheme markers for breakthrough or protect territory etc. and can usually easily outmanoeuvre heavy hitters. The fact that your opponent will suspect that Assassinate is an auto choice for Misaki, might make other schemes easier to complete.

As the title says, I have just ordered the monks box to bolster my Misaki & Mei Feng crews. I have also ordered some generic ninja which I hope to convert a little and proxy as Tengu. I traded one 10 Thunder Brother for an Oiran, a while back as I figured that 2 of each was as many as I was ever likely to need. Would it be the same in the case of the monks? Am I ever likely to want 3 of them? If not, would 1 monk be useful to someone else, or do they really need to be played in pairs to cater for redundancy? Thanks

I like the format. 15mins is a good time. If I wanted a bit more time I would have just paused the video. For the future, it might be interesting to get some comment from the opponent. I can't get over how much you end up sounding like Ted Lowe the snooker commentator.

"Aim High" or "Aim High Boys" is the name of the ability. It used to be (m1e) on most of the Kin but now I think it might be an Ophelia upgrade.

When will we get the Scheme pools? In the player packs? Or at the beginning of each game? (Or even earlier?)

Where is the rulespack? I have seen it, but didn't download it yet and the link in the opening post isn't working anymore. Can anyone help me out? Thanks. Edit: Cancel that....found it on my iPad

Well, all except Ant.

Can you get to Manchester City Centre any earlier? What time?

How will ranking work in a team event?

If you look at the concept art for the Friekorps crew, which includes 2x Friekorpsman, Trapper, Librarian and Specialist, only Von Schill is in an alternative pose from the metal minis. Not sure whether this means anything, but it does suggest that they haven't got any other concept art for new plastics.

We've already planned the results of the first round! Paid. (Happy Birthday!) BTW if people have a paypal balance sending money like this doesn't cost them anything, but they are now charging £0.71 to pay from a card.
