Why are there two types of infantry cards?
The troop cards represent a regular guy with training and no power armor, the ECBS power armor suit replaces and upgrades those stats, but the combined unit still has the base training.
How did he/she kill my ECBS unit when I’m invisible?
The stealth system is good against other units on the ground, but not perfect. It may be defeated by revealing the unit with a scan (basically causes interference to the stealth system), or by acting without the highest initiative and failing a stealth roll. Also, with the standard ECBS suit, if your unit is within 6 of the attacker, he can see you as he is close enough to notice a visual discrepancy. However, even it your unit stays sneaky there are ways to defeat it. As a player you represent a commander with access to power sensors that can be run through a computer. The computer can model the cloaked unit through a process called “difference modeling” (basically comparing all scans and modeling your position based on anomalies). So yes, the commanders can see each other’s cloaked units. That does nothing for the unit on the ground. They can’t lock on to what they can’t see. However with help from their commander, they can trample the area where your unit is standing with a MSV, or target a nearby wall and hit your unit with splash damage.

When is your infantry minis coming out?
We chose to focus on the MSV units for the initial launch but are hard at work on a ECBS troop min release slated next year which may be coupled with a special troop focused expansion! We appreciate your patience in bringing these to you. In the mean time any 28 to 40MM minis will work as a proxy for your units.
