6th Airborne Ranger - November Release Predictions

Soon we'll be able to buy the new blister of the 6th Airborne Ranger, which I think is great! Been waiting for these guys since USAriadna release. Corvus Belli hasn't release the rules yet so I want to take some guesses and see if I was right when the rules are released.

The blister comes with SMG and AP CCW, which I would assume will be more or less the standard weapons for the Airborne Rangers, plus a Rifle or Shotgun option. Considering the French Para-Commando, these guys will likely have Sniper Rifle option too. They might have a HMG option but I would guess Heavy/Light Flamethrower is more likely. As they have a CCW weapon, I think they will be more close up orientated.

In that regard, I think they will have Martial Art Lv1 or Lv2, plus Kinematica Lv1 and high CC. I'd say 19 like S.A.S. For the rest of the statline, I think it will be similar to Van Zant but lower.

My guess: MOV 4-4,  CC 19, BS 12, PH 13, WIP 13, ARM 1, BTS 0, W 1, S 2, AVA 2/4*

As far as cost, probably between 20 - 30 Points.

* 2 for Ariadna, 4 for USARF sectorial.

The most important I'd say will be if they have a Specialist option, which I am assuming they will have at least Forward Observer, and what Level of Airborne Deployment they will have. I think, well hope, they will have Level 2 Airborne Infiltration but Level 1 Parachutist might be more likely. It would make sense they could deploy with Van Zant wherever needed instead of deciding during Deployment.

Well, will see how much I guessed correctly soon enough! I am sure to get at least one when they are for sale.
