    In the end my friend had to cancel and postpone the game so I'll have to test this later.

    I mean, yes, I tested it "solo" a few times and it did work most of the times - it highly depends on your hand. Let's say there's an ideal situation in which you manage to do all you want (summon 2 war pigs and 1 piglet, push the Warpigs etc.), which happened to me once (I had one of those crazy hands), but then if your initial hand is not good enough, you might have to use a SS for cards, or for a suit on the 0 for Aionus, or give up summoning the piglet, or give up the pushes from Old Major (this happened to me once, since I was 1 scheme marker short and had to use Major for it) etc. Worst case scenario, you only summon one War Pig, which is still ok I guess. So I wouldn't say it works "fully" 90% of the times, but it somehow works.

    Now, the point is that yes, the alpha strike has a good damage potential BUT:

    1. you need to have relevant models in range to hit. Opponent could be hiding in his deployment zone or behind a piece of terrain, or expose just cheap models
    2. you will likely have a very poor hand, if a hand at all, at the end of all the summoning, healing, pushing etc. so the Warpigs could actually fail attacks big time
    3. the rest of your crew is still stuck in deployment zone. This could be a crucial positioning disadvantage for the rest of the game (for running schemes and strategy).

    So I'd say it sounds like a fun strategy but it's situational - that's why I wanted to test it in a real game, and see if it actually gets me VP :D

    I might have missed it previously, or i might just be dumb, but could you go into detail of this "Crazy Aionus list"?

     

  2. Now i don't want to flog a dead horse, because i am wholly on the side of "Discard does not mean the same as Remove", but cus the Kamaitachi has an ability that says (Shortened down to laziness) "...has an upgrade Discarded (or otherwise removed)...." does this lend any weight to my argument?

    If they WERE the same, why would they need to add in that extra part of the ability text?
