AT43 Addict

The Therians are set apart from the other factions in AT-43 by the routines that they can use. They allow a Therian commander to spend LP to perform a certain action on a units activation. I will go over the main ones here and talk about some of their uses.

Hyper Nanonucleus 2 LP (Infantry and AFVs)

This routine lets a unit re roll all the failures for one damage test. So if you score 10 impacts and only 5 of them damage, you get to re roll those 5 failed damage tests. Some players may tell you that this is 2 LP per die rerolled but this is NOT the case. You get to re roll all of them.

Transfer 1 LP (Infantry)

You may replace a living member of the squad with one that has been previously killed. This is useful for bringing back heavy weapons or heroes that have been killed

Repair (AFV)

This routine lets the overseer repair an AFV for 1 structure point of damage

Dash 2 LP (Infantry and AFVs)

Allows an infantry unit to move 30 cm when making a rush move. This is very useful for getting units into position. Medusa’s benefit from this letting them move 2 times their regular movement. The AFV version of this routine lets an AFV move 50 cm in a rush move. Very useful for melee AFVs like hekats and Tiamat.

Fusion 4 LP (AFVs)

Two AFVs of the same type in the same unit are fused together to create an AFV of the higher type. The two AFVs are replaced by the new higher type AFV.

Creation 4 LP (AFVs)

This routine lets the Company Commander create a type 1 AFV that spawns beside them. The Units card is added to the activation sequence for the next turn. This is a very powerful routine as it lets the Therians create a hekat a turn as long as there are enough LP to do so. If your opponent cannot deal with these hekats in a quick manner they will soon find themselves overwhelmed.

In addition to the general routines listed above certain heroes gain access to special abilities.  Since the Therians do not have access to medics and engineers it is essential to get the best use out of these routines.
