You’re tougher. Meaner. Better equipped. You’ve taken on a drekload of challenges the Sixth World has thrown at you, and you’ve survived. Barely, sometimes, but that’s enough. You’re walking with a certain confidence, maybe even a little strut. You’re ready for the next thing the streets are going to throw at you.
At least, you think you are. Now you’re going to find out.
High Caliber Ops is a massive expansion for the award-winning Shadowrun: Crossfire deck-building game. How massive? How does two new character roles, more than a dozen new Black Market cards, fifty new obstacles, and a large bundle of new Karma upgrades sound? On top of that, we’ve got five brand-new missions, and a set of basic cards with new art. Taken together, you have the tools for high-powered, high-risk, high-reward shadowruns. Add High Caliber Ops to your Crossfire game to see just how much danger you can take on!
Mission Expansion Pack 1: High Caliber Ops is an expansion for the Shadowrun: Crossfire game—you need that game to be able to use it!
Wanted to give the release its own thread. Target is to have for release at GenCon 2015.

Already noted in the Crossfire forum, from FB (https://www.facebook.com/shadowruntabletopgame/posts/10153522097564591):
Shadowrun: Crossfire High-Caliber Ops final production copy arrived. Wish we’d had it at Gen Con, but it still looks great-photos coming rnb

Shadowrun: Crossfire Expansion
Been meaning to share this photo for a few days, but kept getting side-tracked with other hotness.
Here is the first, full-sized Shadowrun: Crossfire expansion: High-Caliber Ops. Five new Missions, more than a dozen new Black Market cards, fifty new obstacles, a whole new pack of Karma upgrades and one of my favorite parts, two new character roles in the Drone Rigger and Social Adept!

It’s inbound to our warehouse now…once it’s in hand we’ll announce a specific street date!

Will the two new classes push the "pure" out of the game I wonder. More Black Market is always a plus.
-
New roles for Drone Rigger and Social Adept? Sweet! ;D

Last time I looked they were new names for those colors and nothing else. That could have changed before final shaping version though

It's been said for a couple months now, since at least origins, that the two new roles were going to be Hybrid Roles. Looking at the role cards above, it looks like instead of 4/1/1/1, they do 3/3/1, and completely leave out one color. Drone Rigger is 3 green, 3 Black, 1 Red, for example. Should make for an interesting dynamic and shake up to the game.

Please Please tell me this will be at DragonCon 15!!!!!
SR: Tokyo, SR Dice, Crossfire Expansions, Data Trails....can't I just sign over my house. It would be easier. ;)

Is it only a small batch printed for Pax Prime or it is the real shipment?
Like, can we hope to have it in store soon? :)
-
To be honest, not sure. I *think* it might be part of the full shipment...thought that there had been comments posted on FB along those lines. However, it might also be the "small batch" they tried to get in for GenCon. I've already got feelers out to confirm and will advise once I have more info.
-
You're not advising fast enough!
-
Patience...in the shadows, it's best to hold off until you actually HAVE the paydata ;)
-
I had a copy in hand on the 12th. Time away from the Interwebs prevented me from sharing this info.
-
Seriously, no news about this expansion?
There is late and than there is late. :|
-
Sorry, nothing. However, I would be very surprised if it wasn't announced as part of the October releases.

Thanks! :D

For the record, that is my opinion...no insider info. ;)

Well you are more aware of all things Shadowrun than me so your opinion is a little bit more fact-based than mine (which is basically "Would you take my money already?!?") :).
-
My FLGS said he had it on the shelf when I was there on Saturday.
-
Well, that's great to know! Most of the online stores I peruse are showing a "September" release, so sounds like it is starting to make it's way into the distribution chain.
-
From Catalyst Game Labs twitter feed:
"It’s on a ship…until it hits our shores we won’t announce a street date. As soon as I know you’ll know. Thanks! rnb"
-
Thanks for the update...had missed that one. ;)
-
What's the story on this? I WILL swim out to that damn ship. I want my High Caliber Ops! If this ship goes any slower it'll be traveling back in time.
-
I also want me some High Caliber Ops!
Cool Stuff Inc has it estimated at Dec. 9th. Do you think that means anything or is their guess as good as ours?

Also: so frustrated, I actually posted something instead of just lurking.
-
Alliance still has it as pre-order. :(
-
I was already wanting to pick this up, 'cause I like the Drone Rigger mix of Combat/Hacking (though I'll call them a "Combat Decker," I think, in my head), and 'cause I'm a sucker for the Social Adept's mixture of Skill/Magic...but then, in an unboxing video, I saw that the new, alt-art, cards for Street Smart? They're the cover I designed for Shaken, my novel with Jimmy Kincaid. I had a total geek-out moment. I already wanted it, but now I've got to pick it up, just so I can have Jimmy glowering out from my hand while playing him (as a "Social Adept," getting to mix Skill/Magic/Combat). ;D
-
Very cool :D
-
Street date has been announced: Dec 09, 2015
Also, some new roles confirmed:

Great news. Any word if expansion 2, street legends is with it?
-
I just realized that the ganger on the cover doesn't have pointed ears. Is it common for humans to be in the Ancients?
-
Kubrick doesn't like it when people mention his clipped ears.

Actually, yes you do find some humans in the Ancients; it's the other metahumans that would be plot device level only, at least according to the various fluff pieces on the Ancients that's been put out over the years.
-
It was not mentioned in the announcement (http://www.catalystgamelabs.com/2015/12/03/wrath-of-dragons-and-shadowrun-crossfire-high-caliber-ops/).

Two sets of five Prime runners, plus another round of generic race cards.
Solid "Eh" for me.
-

Not particularly, no, but "common" is the sort of term that's pretty flexible in the Sixth World.
-

Because every Metahuman gang should have a couple of Human members (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIRjB6CPxLE)? ;)
2:15+ specifically

Every gang needs cannon fodder. ("Let the Humans soften the troll, then we go in.")
