Re: Curious about the business tactic used here...

I'm in the midst of my second solo playtest of what should prove to be the final iteration AND he has shared with Jay and I the first two chapters that have gone into layout. The pieces are all coming together. I think you all will be pumped when we're able to share some of what is coming. :)

<shrug> All I can say is that ADB received the original manuscript in December of 2008. </shrug>

Good idea! Definitely something to consider.

Re: MAS-WWII Tabled

There are no plans to release PTO this year per se . That said, the plane lists for PTO are available for free on BoardGameGeek: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/filepage/39082/mas-wwiipto-the-unreleased-edition The plane pack released this fall for MTO has seen limited success, and with some more time,...

Re: Curious about the business tactic used here...

I haven't heard anything from Tyrel since before Christmas. Hopefully he will appear here soon and enlighten us all. :)

Re: Federation Admiral Public Update

With the random mission and objective generator of the local campaign system, my thought is that all we'd need are some new races/fleet lists to replace the FC races, a modest-sized map (equal to two squad leader boards) and appropriate counters and we'd be off and running. With suitable success we ...

Re: Curious about the business tactic used here...

I apologize for the extended quiet, but I'd been hoping Tyrel would have responded by now. He's the one leading the charge on 2E while Jay and I were working on the FA collaboration that is now, unfortunately, all but dead. I have the latest alpha of the rules, and am planning on starting a new solo...

Re: MAS Helicopter ?

Helicopters are not currently in the game. To be honest, they hadn't come up before in my conversations with Jay. That said, I do know he had a lot of ideas swimming around for the World of MAS expansion, and helicopters may have been in there. Hopefully, he'll swing by soon and solve the mystery. :)

Re: Federation Admiral Public Update

I won't call it dead, but it's not very alive. Regardless of whether FA ever sees the light of day, the Local Campaign, which was the big feature of the rules will get reworked and likely see release as an expansion for 2E. Jay and I have also talked a little bit about adapting the Local Campaign in...

Re: VBAM and Dirtside II

Ground units in VBAM have always been fuzzy in terms of size. It boils down to how big a unit do you want them to be?

Re: MAS WWII Plane Pack

In response to a request posted over on TheMiniaturesPage, there is a now a freebie posted on BoardGameGeek: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/image/1115 ... ane-pack-1

This brings the Grumman XF5F into the MAS:WWII universe; the inspiration for the plane flown by the Blackhawks!

Re: L5R meets VBAM?

One last thing, I'll be honest... while I love VBAM, I dislike the combat system. So for my space games, I've always modded in Starmada. It works simply enough. However I don't know of any ground-based, toolkit wargames for fantasy gameplay! Anyone know of a good way to go with this? Old, but prett...

At this point, there are 5 yes votes, 5 no votes, and 3 no preference. What is this, Congress? :twisted:

Not that I could tell. If I refresh the page the popup goes away, but I can't get it to go away normally.

Re: 2ed Ship Generator

It's there, but when I tried to touch it, the screen was registering the contact with the underlying form instead of closing out the popup. May, honestly, just be a feature of my big ol' fingers. ;)
