Aleph Part 6


Netrods: These are what people call the cheerleaders of Aleph. How these pools of goodness work is that just provide an order for 4 points and that's it! Did you actually think that was it... if you did the netrod would be the cheapest order generator in the game. Now the netrod does give you a cheap order but that's if it makes it on the table. The netrods are a little interesting in that they have to deploy by AD: Combat Jump (and ONLY AD: Combat Jump, you can't downgrade it). They also have to deploy in your deployment phase of the game and not any other time. Now the only stat on the netrod is it's PH of 12 for the AD. All the others stats are non existent and this thing is basically a little rod that rockets in the ground and goes beep (*beep* order *beep* order *beep* order). Now with deploying with AD the netrod is susceptible to scattering. Also if the netrod scatters off the table it is gone. You can't get it back either like a regular AD troop spending an order to do so. When it's gone it's gone. This is the balancing power for the netrod to keep them from being a OP piece in the game.

These guys are also vital if you have a post human on the table. What happens when a proxy goes down the post human that was using it transfers it's conscious back into the net. The netrod allows for the post human to upload itself into the rod and then back into another proxy, no order need to do so either, if there is one on the table still alive. If there is no netrod on the table and the body the proxy was in dies it's gone for good so that means the other bodies are useless.

Yudbots: The little helping bunnies of Aleph's engineers and doctors. These little guys are called servant remotes. What that means is that the little guy is slaved to a specific doctor (not a paramedic) or an engineer. What they can do is pilot this little guy around and apply there skills of either fixing people or machines through the servant remote (replacing the remotes WIP with the users when doctoring or fixing something). It basically allows for a doc or engineer to perform there tasks without being in harms way.

The Yudbot is like any other factions servant bot. It comes with 6-4 MOV CC 8 BS 8 PH 8 WIP 13 ARM 0 BTS -3 STR 1. Now this little bugger like the rest of them are unarmed. The only defense on these guys are mimetism and electric pulse. They cost 3 points BUT they do not take up slots in a combat group as they are considered equipment and not models, That also means they do not provide orders for your force.
