Welcome to the Best New Unit of the Year 2012 competition. This year's contest is an exciting one, with some of our best and most experienced unit makers represented. To get into this competition, each of these units had to win one of our monthly competitions, often winning against units every bit as good as those found on this list. Every competitor also had an extra hurdle this year; finding the submissions thread, as responsibility for the contest was passed from Pounder, to Kyriakos, and finally, in early October, to me. And that's when I learned something important: they don't pay you to do this.
This year there were two ties, in July and October, so this year's field has expanded to fourteen. So here are our Monthly Winners and nominees for Best New Unit of the Year 2012, presented in the order in which they won:
Civilian by Vuldacon
WW1 U.S. Heavy Artillery by imperator 1961
Detective by Vuldacon
Veteran Terror Bird Rider by Supa
Orcish War Machine by Grandraem
Ka-27 Helix by gwendoline, Ares de Borg
Super Yamato Class Battleship by Delta_strife, Ares de Borg, Wyrmshadow, Yamatoforever Molke2005
M2A3 Bradley by Wyrmshadow, Ares de Borg
All Terrain Vehicle by gwendoline, Ares de Borg
Choson Terminator by LizardmenRule!
Zigra by Supa
MBB Bo 105 by gwendoline, Ares de Borg
Rio de Janeiro Class Dreadnought Battleship by Delta_Strife, Ares de Borg, Wyrmshadow
Chocobo Rider by Hikaro Takayama

Good luck to all of the competitors. We ask that voters make themselves acquainted with all of the units before voting; long hours were put into this work, and they each deserve your full consideration.
Also, while we wait for the results, anyone who'd like to post an honorable mention to one of the many other excellent units made this year that didn't make it into this contest is encouraged to do so. Nice to remember them, too.
