From the Discord the 103 Calvary triggers the 2nd turn it is in play...
e.g. Turn 3 play it. It stays covert on Op turn. Turn 4 attack into opponent unit in frontline with it. Reveal +1/+1 triggers.
It also triggers on itself so it becomes a 4/5.
Yes, you are correct. It is also incorrect that it triggers at the end of turn. This, along with the other covert cards, trigger at the start of your turn. So your opponent will have 2 opportunities to reveal this with no effect. My bad for not making sure of this before recording.
@@jking7340 All good and thanks for responding. A lot of new cards to cover and many with questionable syntax including this.
Throw in the new mechanics and it's going to be a messy few weeks after expansion.
A rules and text standardization would be nice in the post expansion patch.
Some thoughts I have on the cards after watching:
UK
9 Commando - wouldn't be surprised if this becomes an UK staple, but probably depends on the meta. Not having supply shortage in the card pool makes this card a fair bit weaker. Low impact so will probably not be splashed in other nations (maybe USSR?)
Lure - Needs an incredibly specific environment to be good. Could run a copy if you really hate bolster combo in the current meta for example.
Cameronians - Pass. Expensive and slow.
Beaufighter - Hard to evaluate honestly. Seems too slow to me but HMS Illustrious exists and that might be good enough as a 2 card combo.
Wave After Wave - With supply shortage gone maybe some decks really wants 3 copies of Carpet Bombing?
GER
15 Aufklärung - Good for new players and incredibly good in draft. Probably worse than the newly buffed 2k 3/3 PGrens in constructed.
342 Füsiliers - Afrika Korps sees no play, why would this be played any more than that card is.
171 IR - The most interesting card so far. Aside from the mentioned 20 PGrens and 7 Schützen on turn 5 it also has to compete with FW 190 for the turn 6 play. Germany really seems to suffer from having too many options around the 4-6 kredit mark
A Bridge Too Far - You'll be happy when you pull this from your 15 Aufklärung. Doesn't seem awful but harsh competition for the cost in midrange decks especially.
JPN
51st Recon - 0 opcost and blitz almost guarantees this will see play somewhere. I consider the rest to be mostly flavor text.
Kawanishi E7K - Having covert as a keyword doesn't excuse putting bad cards into your deck.
Tsu Reg. - 4K 5/4 is an interesting statline, but I can't see the text mattering when it would need to matter.
SOV
Field Recon - Needing to jump through hoops and needing a board to play this on makes me instantly skeptical. Would've been much more interesting as a 1K +1/+1.
Strategic Focus - This card is obviously great. Nothing really to say. Soviet control might have the best board wipe suite in the entire game now.
USA
103 Cav. - Seems like a filler card to me.
Ironman - You'd almost certainly already play a 3K 4/4 with no text.
FRA
Compromise - I kind of hate this card. If this actually sees play the meta will be in a spot I strongly dislike.
you say you win the game with goshikisen if it sticks but doesn't beaufighter do a slightly better job at sticking and also starts giving insane value the next turn?
No9 commando is broken in my opinion, you can compare this to the Soviet 4 cost to destroy a damaged unit but this one only cost 1 and you can bring 4 of them, this card will single handedly prevent any big unit from playing against Britain ever
My two thoughts are on the No.9 commando and the 171 regiment:
The No. 9 commando could be somewhat good with the French 'non- french units' units. Playing a swordfish turn one, then this turn 2, and a 4e turn 3 would make a 5-5 and kill a unit. It could also be used in self salvage, where you then salavage your own units to play these guys basically forever, and if you use on the ascent, you can also catch some of your opponets units too
The .171 would be much more viable if it guard while you have units on the battlefield. Germany has very few guards, and giving them a standard guard with the potential to get guard would make it more versitile. Maybe to balance it make it a 1-7 or 2-7, but increase the attack buff to +6/5. You could also just leave the buff to +4 if that would be too effective as a dual-purpose card
British Fatigue has lost supply shortage, but... Soviet Fatigue Control. Ton of guards, orders, mills and healing. Brutal.
Ironman is nut if I'm understanding covert right. Is the only way to reveal a covert card for it to be attacked? There is no way for you to reveal your own face down cards?
Covert cards are revealed when they attack or are attacked. You can reveal your own covert units by attacking enemy units or HQ (or Hidden Plans).
@@jking7340 Thank you, does that mean that you can them move them from support to Frontline while face down? Seems strange
You look at least 5 years younger without beard and mustache :D
Thanks for the video, I literally refreshed RUclips feed every hour for last 3 days waiting for it. And if you're still coaching please let me know how to contact you for more details
Love your videos. Been having a hard time lately. Crashing, turn skips, disconnects, even flammpanzers deployment effect isn't working all the time.
What imo makes 51st recon good is that it doesn't die to a sneeze and makes turn 2 less akward
I will so celebrate the return of Brit Air!!!
Appricate the video, very detail. Btw , Clean shaven Jking is the best Jking :)
