Soap Dodger's Yu Jing

This is where I started Great starting place for the force.

• 3x Zhanshi
• 1x Hùndùn
• 1x Jujak
• 1x Dàofěi
• 1x Gŭiláng

Although this is only enough for smaller games it’s a great starting point making your way up to a Code One force.

Zhanshi

Basic troopers, nothing special apart from that they come with the most options including lieutenant which can be good for hiding the model in some missions. All in the box are armed with Combi Rifles however you can proxy them to any flavour of Zhanshi you wish.

“The Yu Jing Ministry of State Defence has eight separate armies spread across the land, each identified by their distinctive banner. For this reason, they are collectively known as the Zhànshì Qízhì, Troops of the Banner. The Mandarin zhànshì (combatant), also used for individual Banner soldiers, can be traced back to the times of the People’s Liberation Army, and has become more widespread than the traditional bīng (soldier). The Zhanshi are the core of the army, the most important general purpose light infantry corps, and they take part as regular troops in most joint operations and offensive deployments. They also form the defence garrisons of border cities and settlements. One of the features of the training these soldiers receive is the cardinal importance given to close quarters combat, something uncommon in other regular armies. The Zhanshi are the anonymous heroes of Yu Jing: disciplined troops, comfortable under enemy fire because they know it is their duty to bear the brunt of all military operations.”

Hùndùn

Good medium infantry sniper choice for closing off lanes of advance not horrible in close quarters but if your at that point something gone wrong. You want to be at long range with nothing moving for long.

“After seeing them in action and witnessing the havoc they wreaked, popping up from nowhere to break the enemy offensive with their deadeye shots, the intelligence service began to call them Hùndùn, the faceless, evil creature from Chinese mythology who embodies chaos and confusion.”

Jujak

Good at being in your face these heavy infantry should be the ones pushing forward. They have loads of options but you can only have 2 in Code One. Having Dodge +1″ you can even move forward more when getting shot.

“We’re not the best. The Jujak are in fact the worst. The worst adversaries anyone can face. Those are our credentials, and they’d be corroborated by our enemies if they weren’t all dead.”

Dàofěi

A Sneaky Heavy Infantry model that starts anywhere on your half of the board  not a close combat specialist here, but doesn’t mind being in your face or close enough to see you sweat.

“Dàofěi are Heavy Infantry specializing in Infiltration and Hostile Environment Survival. The Tactical Section of the Invincible Army combines training in infiltration techniques with the standard Heavy Infantry program. Dàofěi units receive their name, meaning ‘Bandits’, from the final test they must pass to graduate the State School for Scouts. For the test, they are abandoned in the inhospitable region of Dailing without food or weapons, and expected to survive two months surrounded by poachers, highwaymen, outlaws and the police forces of the area, who consider prospective Dàofěi the worst of all criminals. In order to survive in these lands, they must resort to banditry and pillaging, attracting the attention of the Law as well as the local criminal element, who are unwilling to share their territory with these outsiders. From that point on, the graduation test gets messy and people start to die. The survivors, callous but excellent infiltrators, are welcomed into the Dàofěi Section, where they are entrusted with missions that reproduce the conditions of their graduation, only with better weapons and support.”

Gŭiláng

Solid Skirmish model if you use this in conjunction with Dàofěi it’s harder for your opponent to find out which is which also you can set out an anti personnel mine which makes this even more difficult as well as defending a stairway or path your opponent may wish to use.

“Gŭiláng (Ghost Wolf) Skirmishers are the special arctic branch of the Yu Jing State Army. They receive their training alongside Zhànshì Qízhì (Troops of the Banner), but must finish an additional eight-month program in a remote location in the Huangdi Peninsula (or, as PanOceanians call it, Niflheim), where climate conditions are extreme. Their comprehensive training is adjusted to the operational profile of the corps, that is, infiltration and camouflage techniques. The Gŭiláng can carry out missions that include waterborne and/or airborne operations, infiltration, mimetization, artillery spotting, relocation through mountainous and snowy terrain, etc. Their usual routine takes place inside the infamous Fimbul storms that sweep Svalarheima with winds capable of tearing meat from bone. These troops are used to being parachuted onto a hunk of ice, or deployed via submarine, and then marching twenty miles through no man’s land or, even worse, through enemy territory, hauling a rucksack full of materiel, weapons and explosives. Honestly, no one but the Gŭiláng can call that hell just another day’s work.”
