Aegis.. has come back to what it sounds like it should do (protect against CAW and assets) but the ship changes have made it something I’m still not going to take as a UCM admiral except as a freebie on other ships. A group of 2 Jakarta (min group size) is now 80 points (from 100) but provides two extra saves (aegis 1 as newly adjusted), so (depending on scald or reave which could really make a difference and a lot of CAW threats have) let’s be generous and say you will save an extra point of damage that you otherwise might not have. Given that’s more than 3/4 the cost of a Rio, that’s not good maths for cost effectiveness. 8 extra saves (the old Aegis 4) until the Jaks were sniped out, making my opponent take the time and activations to shoot at them, I’d probably have invested in.
Thanks for this! Please remove the background music. It doesn't add anything, and on top of the sound quality issues, it makes understanding what's being said difficult.
One thing with aegis, the rule looks good, but the adjusted values are really low so stuff like jakartas suffer for value versus points

Next Dropfleet batrep when?
This weekend!
@BottomoftheBarrelBatreps Oooooh what are the factions? My two player starter set should be here this weekend but I'm itching to see PHR!
Great video, and as one of those cabadians, glory to the UCM
@@asmalltowngeek The game's on Saturday - my on-their-shakedown-cruise UCM vs Sophie's Resistance. :)
Thanks for this!
