I think those won't be the big 3x3 tiles. The base will be provided by the posters and those 31 elements will look like cat-walk from Cyclone.

Good catch I bet your right! This is well definitely change the game. I am glad to is forth quarter. I love new expansions but I've just started using the tournament rules and we like playing with those. Also learn SSU too much too fast can burn you out, but keep coming with cool new stuff I will fit it in somehow.

My bet is that Winter Child is Aircraft Armor 1. If that's the case he will be hell on the allies.

My bet is that you're wrong. I'm certain that Aircraft units are not allowed on underground tiles. But we never know… As you all know, soldier armor 4 is listed as being far beyond what is found on Earth in 1947. The Vrill will certainly be the first units to have soldier armor 4. My guess is that Winter Child is an armor 3 soldier and since he's considered a hero miniature, will gain no benefit from being in cover. In the news, they were saying Superhumans have a special ability called Defense, (if I remember correctly) that should act like vehicle armor in DW. But then again, we never know…

Probably just Damage Resilient.

Guess you're right Loophole. Vehicle armor in DW works exactly like Damage Resilient in DT.

He could be right since the Superhuman does have some sort of JetPack looking thing on his back and the SSU strength is flying, you never know after all they did make there Artillery Walker a transport unit even though it makes no sense so why not a flying unit that cant use his ability in the expansion LOL

God I hope it does not count on those crap poster maps.
And if it does I hope they put out a new terrain tile set with the new locations.
I really can’t stand those poster maps.

I'm sorry I made a mistake here. Vehicle armor in DW is''X'' number of dice you roll to cancel damage, where ''X'' is the target vehicle armor value. So maybe there's possibility of a new skill for DT.

And we had the heavy walkers appearing in Cerebus where they were usless as all the objectives were inside buildings.  This Superhero is pretty poor really, just looks likes any other man in heavy armour.

 Well yes, and Tony Stark looks just like a regular dude in a suit of heavy armor too…

I like the sound of everything in there, especially adding a 2nd level to the map. 

I'll definitely get this.  Maybe grab Zverograd, and give the heroes to my buddy, convince him to take the plunge.

Cry Havoc!  And let slip the hogs of war!

But there are no other  common heavy armoured units in Iron man though, so he is unique.  This Russian guy has just nicked a suit from the Hammers and stuck a star on it, it's not unique enough for a hero.

Yeah, this guy's the first SSU unit that is giving me mild pangs of regret for deciding not to buy into SSU.  Not even the choppers did that.

He really is pretty sweet.

I do hope they have some cool Axis / Allies stuff coming out soon though.
