Re: The Book of Sgt. Drake Alexander (AoA)
I think Drake is the first physically flying miniature in heroscape, so there isn't really anything to compare him to in that I think... Shiori has also grown, fwiw, but Medium 4 to Medium 5 doesn't stand out to me as much as Medium 5 to Medium 6, which really is an unusual height (trying to think of the existing Medium 6 minis and coming up blank right now).

Re: The Book of Sgt. Drake Alexander (AoA)
Height 6 Drake is either because some designer forgot how tall Drake used to be or they were wrongly allowing his smokestand to be added to his height, which would be weird because they didn't do that for the new Shiori, whose "leaping in the air" shadow likely makes her miniature taller than Height 5 as well. I'm fine with new Shiori being Height 5 though, since original Shiori was basically a kid so we can assume she's taller now as an adult.
Height aside, having now played with this new Drake I have to say he's the first Drake that doesn't feel somewhat overcosted and is probably my favorite Drake, with SotM being second place. I'll miss SotM's 4 Defense, but the Flying and Grapple Grab make up for it. Sure, any time you miss the d20 roll for Grab you'll probably wish you had a Pistol SA instead, but more often than not it'll be so satisfying to grab a figure and roll that 6-die attack against it. |

Re: The Book of Sgt. Drake Alexander (AoA)
Agree with Sherman ^^^ by far the best (and my fave Drake), although I'm still partial to ROTV Drake over SoTM. Near perfectly costed too IMO. Have Eldgrim pull a suicide charge, and suddenly Drake gets a 6 movement. If you can boost his speed after that, look out...
