* [[Gangsta Style]]: It's understandably cool, but was it really necessary for that many models to hold ''their rifles'' this way? |

* [[Gladiator Games]]: "Aristeia!", a game much like [[Professional Wrestling]], complete with [[Kayfabe]] in some cases. It's much more lethal but this is largely offset by advances in medical technology. |

* [[Rock Beats Laser]]: Ariadna in general, due to their separation from the rest of the Human Sphere, has a much lower tech level, with very little powered armor, cybernetic implants, biochemical modifications, or high-end weapons. They make up for it with having ''lots'' of primitive but powerful armor-piercing weaponry, guerilla-style combat, sheer cussed stubbornness, and combat experience. As an added bonus, a lot of the advanced weapons used by the other factions just won't work on Ariadna, as they're designed to disrupt other high-tech weaponry; combat hackers, for example, are useless against an Ariadna force. |

* [[Short-Range Long-Range Weapon]]: It's a wargame so there's bound to be a lot. In particular, small arms fire is less effective over long distances where penalties are imposed and enemies can dive for cover. |

* [[Sticky Situation]]: There is a gun which fires fast-acting glue. Despite the strangeness of the concept, it is [[Justified]] by the fact it is easier to disable [[Humongous Mecha|TAGs]] and [[Powered Armour|Heavy Infantry]] by gluing them down rather than to get past their superior armor with small arms. |
