Unfortunately, you are absolutely right and the need to get someting out there is and has been paramount. There are a lot a good abd somewhat easy suggestions here - pdf's, standees terrain and so on - but what seems to be lacking is the wil todo something. Therefore I would suggest the greatest he...

Games survive on releases. Since I know nothing about this "Summer Relaunch," maybe if they started teasing that, since, you know, we are not that far from summer?(Well..actually, we are in summer, since the the Solstice is actually Midsummer's Day/Eve.) Ultimately, however, they need to b...

I have used packing egg-crate foam in my core box. I found it works fairly well.

So, for my group, I did a holiday event. It had some special rules, namely: Santa's Castle. Santa's Castle was Defense 6, 30 MD structure, that granted Leadership 6 to the side that controlled it. Also, they could spend a command point to roll for Gifts from Santa. The chart was this: 1- Reload one ...

OK, so both me and another guy in my group have tried this, and we cannot figure out
which parts ont he sprues are used to manage this, or how they go..can someone give
us some help: How do you do the two-handed GU-11 poses?

I havent tried them out yet, but the rulebook has a chain of demo scenarios that gradually introduces game mechanics to people, it keeps them nice and simple from what i can tell (2 vf-1a's against 6 battlepods) and gradually increases from there, though with the concession that life is cheap is re...

Somebody is already working on the Prometheus. It should be 4-5 ft long, just long enough for a battleboard! I was thinking of doing a ARMD Carrier, about the same length. *hmms* I wonder if that person could be talked into posting up the plans they are using? For people ambitious enough to want to...

So..let us say you wanted to build, in scale, something like the Daedalus or Prometheus..
How big would they be in scale? (Because, you know..that could be an awesome set piece
for a big event-type game...)

i dont have my force cards with me right now so i don't know what the cost of a vs-1s add on is to a normal valkyrie unit, but im going to assume its less then 30 points, so you have to weight the advantages of a stronger pilot vs having those extra points you spent used somewhere else in the army....

Frankly, I am surprised they can ship outside the U.S. at all, since Big West, Tatsunoko and Studio Nue own the IP in the rest of the world, while Harmony gold owns the IP in the United States only(due to court decision in the U.S.) Unless, of course, this means that Harmony Gold and Big West/Studio...

I'd actually go with the second option, as it demonstrates more models and features of the game. I feel that this is the point of demo-ing the game. As teh person running hte demo, you can always adapt your play style to account for a new player. I suppose it depends on what your 'hook' is for draw...

I have done a bit a number crunching, and, while 2 core boxes and trading between the two players is enough to get 300 points for each player(more for the UEDF player), I realized that there should be a sort of 'demo straight from the box' to show off what is in the box, not just what all one can ge...

I havent started yet, with the number I have to build I am taking some time to prep. So figuring out what glue works best, best way to handle decals, what to pre assemble and how many to assemble at same time. etc etc. Testors red, do regults in groups of 6, Vakyries in groups of two, and Destroids...

OK, so, Warmaster, if I follow you correctly: You could take a 30 AP special pilot, throw
give him a VF-1S, and then throw all the bonuses on him you like..and he would be better
then buying a VF-1S add-on...is that a correct understanding?

Trying to figure something out about converted characters/new special characters. It says that their cost is equal to the Advancement Points spent on them. This has lead to somethings I am not entirely sure on in the wording: 1) Advancement Points for their Mecha: Are you paying those points to be a...

We saw lots of render and model pictures from phase 1 when it was in the works. Since we are actually approaching when they were expecting Phase 2 to be coming out, I am wondering when we will start seeing updates featuring that? Because I am really looking forward to the Gnerls, Lancers, Ghosts, Ze...

Did you get a Brawler Squadron Card? I didn't! It's still listed as 70pts on the kickstarter page, is it actually 60 pts? One thing I learned is that some of the cards are mixed up in their packs. And they stick together. I believe there are only 2 Brawler cards in all the cards you received. to do...

It takes me an hour to assemble any miniature. That includes cleaning. What you need to do is, first, know what it is supposed to look like. Then you pick the pieces for one model from the sprue, clip them and put them to the side. Then, you clean them. Legs are legs. They have pegs that go into the...

OK, every other part has a logical place it goes. Some need some adjusting and holding while the
glue sets, but, for the most part, everything makes sense. However, I run into a problem with
the missiles for the Valkyries:

Where on the wings do they go?

Testors Red, not Testors Blue, however. Why you use the Testors is that it actually reacts with the plastic and creates a stronger bond then the normal CA glue. CA Glue is best for assembling metal, or mixed plastic and metal. So, if you got the Con Exclusive Max or Miriyia metal minis? After you ar...

Actually, in BattleMech mode, while the 1A was the Stinger, the 1J was the Wasp(wasp only had two antenna, not the 4 of the Phoenix Hawk LAM/VF-1S).

Some things that make he production of miniatures for Robotech difficult is that Harmony Gold will, likely, try to make sure the miniatures can ONLY be used for Robotech. There are many people who go hunting for the Dark Horse miniatures(I know..I was trying to get one of their fighters recently) fo...

CN or more specifically Adult Swim might still be able to do it as a parody and get away with it. Do shows like SNL and MadTV have to pay the licence holders to parody their movies/TV show episodes? no... parody is protected under the law in the US contrary to popular thought permission to parody i...

Mock Zombie? You know...the ones that do not think they are zombies?
And, an Abrams crew or Apache crew has to get out eventually for food and such..

Just curious because it would funny if they did. Not to my knowledge. Transformers, Gobots, "Masters of the Universe", GI Joe, Voltron, and MASK have all made a few appearances, but not Robotech. Harmony Gold is notoriously aggressive in defending their IP rights, and might easily find so...

Seriously, why wouldn't Rick have gotten some brig time for "stealing" the armored veritech during the episode Miss Macross ? I always think that part of the reason is because: It turned out he was justified in using it for that Patrol, as what he encountered proved to have actually neede...

Well...supposedly, NEMA Mission Book 1 is coming out in February 2006?!?!?!

Ah...thank you!

I remember way back when the first conversion manuals were out to convert things from all the different Palladium Games to Rifts, there was a section for converting robotech to Rifts. I am wondering, given that anything is possible, is there going to be some sort of formula posted(since I have not g...

I live in an area with 4 air force bases(no Army, marines are attached the Naval Air Station), and of those 4 bases, 1 is commanded by a Colonel, the other 3 are commanded by Generals. I know this because command changes get in the front page news around here. Also, there are no Generals in the Navy...
