I was hoping that with the day 0 the SSU would be a fully playable army and FFG will release all boxes at one go.
Unfortunately FFG decided to get a bad habit of GW nad releases boxes in waves…
What's worse those boxes are more expensive than their Axis/Allied counterparts.
I think it will take at least about 6 months more for SSU to catch up with Axis/Allied forces.
What's left for the SSU to have "catched-up" really?
The Hero Pack,
The commissars,
The Gunship,
The walker Transport…
And that's it really. With those, the SSU are going to be "on par" with the other factions.
They are going to have 7 variations of walkers, 4 heroes (+ the 5 commissars), 2 transports, 4 gunships and tons of standard troopers.
Sure, they won't have armour "3", but that's not really a "lack" of something more than a difference in the factions (which is good). They won't have heavy armour "7" walkers, but their gunships definitely make up for that IMO.
The commissars are coming next week, maybe with another box with it… I expect that in a month, they will have released everything (if still going at the same rate as the rest of the SSU, that is a "wave" every two weeks.
My prediction: They want the SSU completly out before Gen Con, where they might announce the next big "wave" of Dust Tactics miniatures, with the next "operation" box (which might start the Vrill).
