(Answered) Special Pilot Abilities
« on: 30 September 2013, 07:24:37 »
The special pilot abilities from the Ad Hoc Unit card set - how much did they cost for each ability for a given pilot?

I know they were adapted from the abilities described in AToW, but I would like to incorporate them into an Alpha Strike campaign, and I will need to figure out how each one affects the cost of a unit, whether it is a multiplier or an added cost.

Thanks!

There have been no rules published for that at this time.
The solution is just ignore Paul.

Thanks Paul!

I suppose I could have saved us both some tyuping by doing a little math before putting up the question.

Having done the math I don't think the unit cards reflect any cost at all for the abilities. The example of Natasha Kerensky in widowmaker is 79 PV

Per Alpha Strike, a legendary skill costs a multiplier of 2.63. The MUL shows the PV of a Widowmaker Dire Wolf to be 30. 2.63 x 30 = 78.9 which rounds to 79.

Which makes the unit cards kinda cool!

Yeah, the lads who made those cards did a good job.
The solution is just ignore Paul.
