Prodos Games

I ordered through a third-party company. I have the option of cancelling and using the credit to buy something else.

I cancelled and used the credit to buy into Konflikt 47 instead. Might still get a copy of this once it's released, but the wall of silence made me paranoid.

Greetings.

I will try to answer Your Questions:

1) Does an NCO with the Banner get 2 ribbon tokens for each kill? Since they're 2 seperate abilities granting you tokens.

Yes as the Company Banner states that the model "Generates (+1) Ribbon marker" so in my opinion this banner enhances the ribbon count.

2) Is there any point to giving an Imperial Officer the banner vs the NCO? The imperial officer can't use the ribbon tokens.

The Imperial Officer has an Army standard not a the company banner thus when You upgrade him with the banner he gives +3 to LD.
Best regards,

Question regarding Imperial:

If I understand correctly, NCO's, which are characters (no longer able to be an upgrade for a trencher squad), are able to both generate, and use Ribbon tokens. A company banner acts the same way, gaining a ribbon token when enemies are killed. Question is twofold:

1) Does an NCO with the Banner get 2 ribbon tokens for each kill? Since they're 2 seperate abilities granting you tokens.
2) Is there any point to giving an Imperial Officer the banner vs the NCO? The imperial officer can't use the ribbon tokens.

This is pre-2.0 right? Chasseur's can no longer take neoclone squad commanders or advisors from what I can see.

Noticed a bug. The Judicator is a vehicle, (brotherhood), and so does not HAVE to buy a power, yet the AB datafile gives me an error when I don't upgrade it, claiming it needs to select 1 power.

I haven't seen any starters with updated cards so I'd assume that the starters include old cards (statcatds and some resources) or none at all. Not that the resources can become obsolete - you can use anything as resources (I've seen people use dice, old Doomptrooper CCG cards etc) so old versions of resources will be just as good as the new ones.

Each starter already includes character(s) so you don't need anything else to play a small game.

For advanced games you'd need the combat deck:

But as the name says it's for advanced games so I'm not sure if it would be a good choice for games with just starters. Better get more units first.

Prodos have also announced two 2-player sets to be released withn the next 3-5 months but they've had delays in the past so you'll be waiting for them at your own risk.

For advanced games you need to get the new deck. That's the only new thing you need to come back, provided you have the models and don't want to stay with the basic version of the game. Old cards are obsolete, now we have the same deck for all factions (each card has two two ways to be played, mostly it's one available for all factions and one available for only one faction).

Yes, the rules are straightened out. Not 100% perfect, but I've seen no wargame with perfect rules clarity. I'd say the current WZR rules are no worse than anything else in the market (probably better than most). It's worth noticing that the authors keep axplaining the rules of FB and here on the forum so you can get in touch with them.

Rules are available for download for free just like before. If you want a printed copy and don't want to invest in HC, there's a smaller and chaper "core protocols" SC version (just the rules, no fluff).

So my recommendation is: download the new rules, try them with the models you've already got and then decide if it's worth investing. Personally I think it's an enjoyable experience, not 100% perfect, but good enough to spend some time and money on it.
