The AGL Tournament Pack: Bixie Edition is coming in September!
The crowd can be a real factor in any sporting event, even arena combat. So, in order to get the crowd on your team's side and keep them there, having some cheerleaders spurring them on can really help. That includes in Aristeia!, Corvus Belli's sci-fi arena combat sports game. In this preview, we get a look at the upcoming Tunguska Cheerleaders squad.
From the article:
One of the Stadion Tunguska's promotional slogans says that, without its cheerleaders, Aristeia! would be just a game, because they put on the real show. This stadium's men's and women's cheerleading teams are among the best in the entire Sphere and the competition to join them is brutal. But once inside, the bond of sisterhood forged between the members of each group is unbreakable, because, without real teamwork and perfect coordination, the show could not work. And the show that the Stadion Tunguska cheerleaders put on is a great performance that can even make you forget about the Aristeia! the game you were watching. Not for nothing another one of this stadium's slogans is: "There is no halftime at the Stadion Tunguska", because nobody wants to get out of their seat when these cheerleaders jump into the HexaDome. In addition to the perfect physical condition required to join, they also boast their enhancement implants made at Bakunin’s Black Labs, the kind that only Tunguska’s big money can afford and that make them superior to anyone in their league, taking the spectacle to a superhuman level. These ladies and gentlemen have a veritable legion of fans and followers who aspire to be like them.

This expansion called Prime Time, allows the game to increase the number of players at the table.
Since the game was created, one of the main requests from you, our player fanbase, was that Aristeia! could be played with a wider group of people.
With this expansion, Corvus Belli, makes that wish come true.
The new expansion includes new add-ons and content that will improve the gaming experience. A new Running Order shared by all players, mini control panels, new action cards, new matt and loads of fun!

With the Double Trouble expansion coming soon for Aristeia, there's not just two new combatants that are going to be entering the arena, but a whole new set of Tactics Cards that players will have to get to know (and possibly watch out for).

Chemical Brothers new expansion for Aristeia!

2019 is here. It's a brand new year with a lot of things to look forward to. In order to help you get your calendar all set, Corvus Belli has posted up a 2019 preview of shows they're going to, along with some teasers about what can be expected from them as the months roll along.
From the post:
As 2018 comes to a close, so does a year full of great news and excitement for Infinity. In my opinion, it was one of the most influential years in the game’s history, as among many other things, we launched five new sectorials - The Japanese Sectorial Army (JSA), Tunguska, Varuna, the Tartary Army Corps, and the Operations Subsection of the S.S.S. The background has advanced with the secession of the Japanese and the Third Offensive, and during all of this, we released a plethora of new miniatures —although we didn’t end up releasing a new version of Musashi. I'm not complaining though: after all - we did release a new Jeanne!
Our minds are already set in 2019, as you could see on the calendar at Gen Con with all those questions marks and the huge black N. There are so many theories floating around, and I can even say that SOME of them are getting REALLY close! The black N is next year’s biggest surprise - and if everything goes as expected, we will be able to release some details at AdeptiCon.
Corvus Belli is prepping for next year, and all of us should be happy to see what they've been working on. They have a new crop of Infinity releases to bring in the New Year, as well as a new release for Aristeia. Have a look-see for yourself.
Operation: Coldfront Pre-order: Available Now at Our Online Store! Soon at GenCon and Interplanetario! Free shipping over 160€!

The Smoke & Mirrors (SnM) expansion pack is going to change the perception of the game, making it more entertaining than ever before!

One hundred and seventy five years into the future, the human race has reached the stars. The ancient nations have gathered into immense, international, federated blocks and have divided the star systems proved suitable for human life. The most advanced medicine makes it possible to extend life, and together with the most advanced (and most expensive) technology, almost reach corporeal immortality. It also allows treats such as the most popular extreme-contact sport: Aristeia!, a series of high-level, armed combats where death is a real possibility.
Aristeia! is the new sports game by Corvus Belli, a MOBA-style tabletop game that allows two players to take the role of competition team managers in the greatest visual show of the Human Sphere.
You don’t need anything other than the *Aristeia! Core Box *to enjoy one of the best games on the market, as it contains everything you need to play.
Special Effects
In Aristeia! the most important effects are the Switches that can be used by any of the players, they are different depending on the Aristo. These abilities provide versatility and dynamism to the games and, on occasions, will flip your rival upside down.
Switches
Switches allow activation of certain effects from rolls that each character makes. To activate a Switch, the character must spend some of the symbols from the roll. These symbols will not be usable for anything else.
It is very important to keep in mind that the players must play the Switches after Rolling the dice from a Roll, and before resolving said Roll.
The line-up of available Characters for Aristeia!, the new Corvus Belli tabletop, players grows with the release of its first expansion, Soldiers of Fortune.
This expansion, that will be released next February, presents four new aristos and add two new States to the game.
Special Edition: 8 character figures with their exclusive cards, 10 Premium Foil Cards, 8 Initiative cards, 52 Tactics cards, 3 booklets (Access Guide to Human Sphere, How-to-Play instructions and Reference Guide), a reversible board (the HexaDome), dice, counters and tokens.
Collector's Limited Edition: This edition includes the CORE BOX and:
8 METAL MINIATURES (28 MM) ,10 PREMIUM FOIL TACTICS CARDS, 8 EXCLUSIVE ART POSTCARDS, NUMBERED CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY
We have spent several weeks talking about the Aristeia! (how rolls work, how to move and how the actions are executed) and, unveiling bit by bit all that the new Corvus Belli’s board game has to offer. This week we want to talk you about attacking in the HexaDome.
It is time for combat!
After talking about how rolls work in Aristeia!, the new table top game from Corvus Belli, today we will go deeper into everything to do with Actions. These are essential in the game, they define and give flavor to each of the Characters.
In Aristeia! there are two types of Actions. The common Actions that every Character can perform and the specific Actions that are different depending on each Character. We are going to look at these Actions:
The twenty fifth season of Aristeia! is about to start. All the aristos, prospects, and previous season champions have a common goal: seize victory, reach glory, and achieve fame. But for that they need to forge an alliance with the dice and be in Fortune’s good graces in the arena.
To determinate the success of the different Actions Characters can execute, we need to roll dice. Dice in Aristeia! are special and characterized by the symbols appearing on each one of their sides.
What do you have to do in order to win Aristeia!?
The goal of the game is to get more Victory points than the opponent. Achieving these points will depend upon the Objectives set by set by the scenario. So each of the Aristeia! scenarios gives the player a different challenge.
Assault: This scenario is based on controlling the Scoring Zones, which change location every round.
Conquest: Here the objective is to have more Scoring Zones than the opponent.
King of the Hill: This one consists of controlling the central Scoring Zone, but sending enemies to the infirmary can also bring you victory.
Scorched Earth: in this Scenario, the Scoring Zone also changes from round to round but can never repeat.
In each of these Scenarios the game will end either at the end of the fifth Round, or when one of the players gets eight or more Victory Points. In case of a tie, the winner will be the player with the most Frag tokens. A player will get a Frag token by sending an opponent’s character to the infirmary.
