Greetings Commanders,

Today we want to expand the strategic depth of our roster system and give you greater deck building options. These changes are, as ever, based on community feedback and we’re confident they will please.


The roster system now has a total of 10 slots. One commander slot, and then three slots for each unit type category, infantry, vehicle/tank and air.

However, unlike the vehicle/tanks units, Infantry and Air rosters currently lack enough units to fill their 3rd slot. So, we will open that slot to all unused available units from the same unit type being selected.

So for example, if the player likes T1 infantry rather than the T2 option, they can now use that 3rd infantry slot to round out their roster. Same thing with the air units. Previously, you had a tough time deciding between the Falcon/Prion/Wasp. Now players will be able to have at least 2 of the available air units for their 3rd unit type slot.


Each faction's transport unit will now be available by default under the Corebase build menu. This affects Standard Versus, Skirmish, Payload, and Cooperative games modes. Battlelines and Brawl game modes do not need air transport to function, while Round Robin does not support slot loadouts and this game mode does not have a corebase, so we can exclude it.
