Part II
SMART: 15...
In which we look at the mutations of Moloch (instead of humans), the rat people, an intelligent virus, and an Outpost plan gone awry. In other words, the weird factions.

But, yeah, Mephisto is simply right in my wheelhouse. There are so many choices to make if you can get a couple Implants on the board early on. I haven't played a ton with Dancer, either, to be honest. Oddly, controlling the three Objects doesn't hold as much appeal to me as figuring out how to maximize the solo Mephisto. It's still a cool challenge and a very different game experience, though.

So, I don't know, honestly.

Got a note from someone on the Twitters that asked why I hadn't included Doomsday in this series. Well, I didn't for two reasons:
1. Because a lot of people don't have Doomsday and, consequently, don't really know how it works. I think it's available on Portal's site these days, so it's at least more available than it used to be (as a promo for the base set that had a very limited release outside of Poland.)
2. It's insane. There's a reason that Portal stipulates that Doomsday can't be used in tournaments. It raises too many questions and it's the one faction that might possibly be termed "OP." Just for shits and giggles, we tried a game with it tonight, after I got the DM. My opponent played Outpost, with which he's proficient. That's possibly not the best choice vs Doomsday, considering the level of Armor in the latter, but we thought the movement capability of Outpost might allow it to deal with the multi-angle aspect...
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! No.
My first two turns were putting down an Alpha Shooter, hooking it up to a Scout, followed by a Tripler and a Fireblast. The rest of the game was basically:
"Oh, I'm sorry! Were you trying to... do something? No. No. We won't be having any of that." /Murphy
That was an 18-0 win, folks. It took until the Final Battle to get the last point off his HQ, but it happened and he even Snipered my first Alpha Shooter. I ended up doing most of my damage with a Gamma with an Officer attached. In-sane. Maybe we should try a Borgo game just for theory memes?

There's a little bit of clarity in there, in that there are supposed to be five new releases for the Neuroshima universe, not necessarily just NH. That seems more likely and it's fine with me, since I play 51st State, too.

Looks very cool. It's in pre-order on the Polish site and Ignacy has said it will be on the US site for pre-order in the States. They're just not sure when, at the moment. At the bottom of that thread, he mentions the online Portalcon they're doing this year (obvsly), which will have a demo of the new army this weekend.
