I can't find the official confirmation, but there's a picture floating around showing that Armoured Corps' benefits are the Repair benefit, and 'Man-o-War units and Tanker solos in this army gain Advance Move'. So no Drakhun and Chariot moves, but Units + Tankers is going to work out as more moved things than the 1/unit limit from before. Poor old Kovnik getting left behind, though, and no sneaky move for Sorscha3 This is a clear buff to me, I was never using the advance move on the kovnik anyway and he never has trouble following the rest of the list, the tankers though, this will easily allow them to cover most zone by turn two and maybe get to flags earlier without needing to run, this is big considering there was rarely enough advance move left for all the tanker contingent and the gods know that armored corps list are centered on tankers. I rarely used advance move on the drakhun anyway and the chariots, well the less we talk about them the better. Armored corps was already in a fairly good spot, now with all the other theme losing their advance move and extra deployment this is an even bigger side buff for armored corps. Sorsha3 will live without her advance move, I guess she'll need to failed charge on turn one now.

Disagree on the chariots; Advance Move on the Assault Chariot has won me games before my opponent moves before. Even without Advance Move I'll still take it. Got to the point where I would drop a Suppression Tanker to fit it in.
But yeah, it's a buff. When I saw it my initial reaction was 'Awesome, that's basically +4" deployment zone for everything but the battlegroup'

Not sure id call it a straight buff if that's what ends up happening. My current list i love has 4 AD movements, with that change my chariot AD moves to a assault tanker. Not too enthused.
Ive never been in a situation where AD wins me a game with the chariot, but AD on the chariots has been a pretty big reason why i take them. Im not sure how this changes, but it definitely sucks, knowing PP's love for Khador it could have been worse.

I’ve sen the image on the Khador facebook as well - it’s just trimmed to the theme benefits so no word yet on Requisition Points. It looks legit and the wording reads as advance move for units and Tanker solos.
I am not surprised that chariots lost the advance move. The fact that units and Tankers get it without some other type of restriction seems like a win in the “am I disappoined or happy” column, and a straight buff for a ton of builds. This is consistent with PP’s desire to not allow deep into your zone shots on Turn 1, so I feel the change is both OK (if not good) for Khador and good for the game.

I think this change is both good for the game, slowing things down a bit and good for khador, since we lose less than the other factions here, this change is a buff to armored corps before we even start considering that everyone else looses this benefit. As for the requisitions in armored corps, they are probably going to stay mostly similar to the free cards we have available. Armored corps was legit and with these changes it sounds like it’s going to stay that way

Idk if it's a mistake, as everything is still new, but valachev is available in JAWS.

There's a number of discrepancies between the official PDF and the War Room update. Not sure which one is correct, but if it's the PDF then Valachev is Wolves only.

I only ask because neither the old nor the new JAWS themes mention valachev. He's also available in WGK currently, which also sounds wrong.

So Drago has been added to Wolves and Legos lost advance move but gets to reroll starting roll.
Let the salt flow. :/

The PDF specifically excludes ranking officers in all non-Wolves themes. In Wolves he is mentioned by name in 'the Merc units may have attachments' bit

To echo hocestbellum, you spot Valachev's absence by seeing that he is not expressly permitted in themes, and that all the themes bar Wolves only permit "non-ranking officer" attachments for merc units.
