Re: The Book of Kumiko
I used Kumiko today, and she did great. It was a 250 pt. armies and five of us. I was unlucky and was put in the middle of the board. When everyone got close with the squads she cut right though them. When I fought some heroes though she fell quickly.

Re: The Book of Kumiko
She would see to work well againsts rat screens is she does not get picked off before hand. Special attack prevents scatter and can continue to move after a kill.

Re: The Book of Kumiko
I could make a strong argument that, at least against certain matchups, Kumiko is part of the best 540 point 'tron army:
80 Kumiko 20 Marcu Esenwein 80 Raelin RotV 240 Gladiatrons x3 120 Blastarons x2 540, 23 hexes The Gladiatronx4 build hits 520 points, and is really only 500 points, given that you will generally drop a Gladiatron. The further above 520 you go, the harder it is to justify going with a 500 point build. At 550, though, I can include Laglor in stead of Kumiko+Marcu. Laglor gives your Blastarons super range and can use his special for rat clearing. This seems like a really strong option to me, so I wouldn't choose Kumiko alongside 'trons at 550+. So 540 seems like her best chance to shine. Both Kumiko (Glads hold figures in place for the barrage attack, allowing efficient use of Kumiko) and Marcu (stuck attacking a Raelin-backed Gladiatron if he rolls 17+) have nice synergy with the 'trons. The clear alternative, and I admit it is a very strong one, is: 100 Krav Maga Agents 80 Raelin RotV 240 Gladiatrons x3 120 Blastarons x2 540, 24 hexes I'm guessing that build saw some play somewhere at a NHSD event last fall, and probably did pretty well. In a head-to-head matchup, the KMA build probably wins. In a matchup against a horde of 4th Mass or other ranged figures without blockers, I'd rather have the KMA build. But against range+Deathreavers, I'd probably rather have the Kumiko build. That's far from a trivial advantage! |

I might suggest using the Airborne Elite and Kaemon Awa in stead of the 10th and Kumiko, or I might suggest using Raelin in stead of Kumiko and not worrying about your lack of a special attack. But it can depend on the matchup, and this is another spot where Kumiko can slot in nicely. |

Re: The Book of Kumiko
Lonewolf used her very successfully against me yesterday at the AZ Game Day. I wouldn't discount her hit-and-run ability, even against heroes.

Re: The Book of Kumiko
I did a battle all the ninjas (heroes and squads) v.s. Hatamoto Taro, and the Tagawa, Kozuke, and Izumi samurai. (which, if my math was correct, was 410 points on 410 points) I used kumiko all most the entire game because 1. she can use a special attack (avoids counterstrike) and 2. she can hit up to three figures a turn. It was looking horrible for the ninjas as it was down to all the samurai army still alive v.s the Ninjas of the Northern Wind, Isamu, and a 1 life Kumiko, and then (as most heroscape battles seem to even out) kumiko in one turn wiped out a Tagawa and 2 Kozuke, and went on to take out 2 more Izumi, another Tagawa, and the last Kozuke samurai. (all of this while she was at 1 life) Then she fell to the Izumi. The NotNW mopped up HT and the remaining Tagawa, and Kozuke samurai. She was well worth her 80 points.

That's just wrong on so many levels... Anyway... I think her power looks decent, but she's a niche unit, no doubt about that. But then again I make some good game scenarios with niche units, which is why I'm glad she's on her way |

Re: The Book of Kumiko
She owns squads, but gets owned by heroes.

Re: The Book of Kumiko
Kumiko is quite good actually. There may be an arguement whether or not SHiori is better, but used together they are a good combo.
