I'm interested, and we'll get to this later on, but particularly in the way you play it, whether it's purely to hold home, whether you're blocking out the... know putting it on your expansion whether you keep it off the board um i have found the navigator's best for me almost coming on from the side onto my expansion if need be or somewhere else because i don't have but you've got but having said that i don't play the sisters package you've got that so um maybe we want to talk about before we dive into the matchups the just the overall you know theory casting here of uh the emulator the sisters have sticky so does one of them start on home sticky it get into the truck and then drive or how do you how do you play

i start five girls on my home um they'll either be out like in front of the terrain on the edge of it depending on the layout or they may be behind the wall um the emulator will usually be um positioned so that they would be able to embark after no move so it'd be within nine inches of them it has the second squad in there Um, and I try to deploy the emulator so that the five girls inside can either disembark without advancing, but disembark move and be touching a central objective so they can action.
15:25
Um, this other squad can get in and the emulator itself be within 12 inches of my expansion so that it could potentially drive to my expansion if needed.
15:34
Um, so that I have redundancy kind of across the board, the navigator actually finds a different depending on the layout because I found layout matchup, it's very different.
15:49
On some of them, your home objective is perfectly placed on several of those sweeping engagements where the navigator can sit behind the wall in the front right corner of your home objective and literally blocks out the entire left table quarter.

It's just nothing.

You can't come anywhere here She's going to be hidden.

So having sisters, subductors, navigator, whatever it might be is really important, I think, given the terrain rules now, it makes it even more important.
