Why the cards were considered at all is mysterious to me. All that data could have been placed in the book and all the money of printing, sorting, and packing the cards could have been saved for something else. Not to mention that the cards are much more likely to get lost, torn, or confused with th...

I read to mane that the process of creating characters used APs and that APs and the points from a units Point Cost are not the same. It seems to me that APs are something from the RPG and not from the TT. I came to that understanding when I saw that there was no suggested points AP for characters o...

I have a Major problem with this. And to be clear it's not that I disagree with your assessment. The only 3 special character that actually Exist in the macross episodes on the side of the Malcontents are Azonia Khyron, and Grell ( He has speaking lines in the cartoon on the side of the malcontents...

I've been through my cards a dozen times, trust me,. There's no Brawler card in there. Maybe mine got missed somehow. It was supposed to be in every Battle Cry?

Very Fun One Jr

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?

Very Fun One Jr

Thanks but I was under the impression that this topic was to collect questions for a FAQ, not home rules. I can make those on my own.

Very Fun One Jr

What are the effects of the High Gravity special scenario condition on aircraft, e.g. a Gnerl? Is it even possible? Do mecha with the Afterburner ability syill have it in High Gravity conditions??

Very Fun One Jr

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? These are links to some artwork that'll help:...

Very Fun One Jr

Makes sense, and I want to get deeper into this but I don't have the rulebook or his card with me (guess what my job is paying me to do right now!) but even with a single Glaug can't a unit in close formation transfer damage within 4" (or something, somebody help me out here)? The reinforcement...

Very Fun One Jr

Time. Lots and lots of time.

Very Fun One Jr

I can see your point, I mean he's only 5 pts after all. However that interpretation raises a long list of questions. Since he has no improved stats Grell is no different than any generic pilot except for his Reinforcement related ability, so why bother allowing him to pilot anything but a Glaug? Wha...

Very Fun One Jr

Two questions regarding the special character Grell: For victory point purposes, consider a regular attrition squadron with Grell in a battlepod. This creates a squadron of Mecha with Life is Cheap also subject to the reinforcement rule. In this case how are victory points awarded to the opponent? H...

Very Fun One Jr

I agree that it's a poor example, but the scenario is not as implausible or as unlikely as it seems. All that is actually necessary to get crossfire is for two mecha within 2 inches of each other to straddle the line between the targets front and rear arc, one in the target's front arc and one in th...

Very Fun One Jr

Agree to disagree.

Very Fun One Jr

The pair of MGs on the Tomahawk do the same damage as the twin Heavy Particle Cannons on the Regult? Do the MGs fire nuclear bullets or do the particle cannons shoot styrofoam? How did the Zentraedi concur the universe with weapons like that? I guess they like battle so much they designed weapons to...

Very Fun One Jr

That's a good point. Most other game systems have named characters that can be in an army once and generic characters that you build up to what you want. Until a FAQ is created I would suggest that your gaming group, or local store game organizer agree on house rules interpretations that are mutual...

Very Fun One Jr

Are characters unique? Including three Grells in your army screams CHEEESE! In a tournament setting you might see two Roy Fokkers facing off in different armies, but that is in a competitive environment and really outside of canon. Can mecha piloted by a special character receive support upgrades (...

Very Fun One Jr

Are characters unique? Do Built-In Upgrades affect the abilities of special characters (e.g., Grell in a Regult Squadron with the Veteran upgrade)? Can mecha piloted by a special character receive support upgrades (e.g., can Max Sterling pilot a VF-1R)? Can a Zentraedi character in a mecha with the ...

Awww, snap. I didn't see that it had been created! Thanks so much for the info and I'll redirect there from now on.

Very Fun One Jr

Are special characters considered a part of a squadron? If so, can special characters benefit from Built-In Upgrades purchased for the unit they are a member of? Can a Built-in Upgrade modify a characters stats (like Veteran for a Regult unit)? Can a character's mecha receive a support card like a C...

Very Fun One Jr

I disagree. I don't think there's any problem. A VF-1R is an upgrade, not a base model. Characters are restricted in which base model they can start in but I don't see anything that says they can't upgrade. Consider a Destroid pilot character, are you then then prohibited from getting a Command Dest...

Very Fun One Jr

Look on page 53, it talks about using characters as templates for Malcontents. It's noted that you can't use Roy, Rick, Max, and Miriya as templates, suggesting that yes these characters are unique, or more precisely their abilities are unique. Of course there is no reference to not using any Zentr...

Very Fun One Jr

Ugggh. I hate that reasoning. It is no more authoritative than the opposite: "Without prohibition don't assume you can't". Sure there is only 1 Khyron, but out of a race of billions there is no other Zentraedi with similar abilities by a different name? The argument that you can bring mult...

Very Fun One Jr

How about adding Grell in a Regult? He's subject to Life is Cheap so is not considered for VPs, right? An Attrition Squadron, 2 Regult Squads and Grell gives you 24 pods and 0 VPs.

Very Fun One Jr

This touches on the topic of another post, whether the special characters are in fact unique or named generics. If generic then it would be simply another clone with similar abilities. Nothing in the rules says you cannot have multiples of the same special character or that they are unique.

Very Fun One Jr

Not entirely true, there are upgrades that are not listed there. Additionally some of the point values have changed. I definitely mentioned that the upgrades are not there in my post, I guess I called the options or something and it must have thrown you off. The point values are accurate according ...

I started playing D&D back when it was in the Red Box set and had the dice you had to color in with a crayon, late 70s I think. Spent my high school years running D&D, Star Frontiers and Gamma World. marry me? Seriously though my dad bought the pink box set, I think it was the second iterat...

Very Fun One Jr

Good news on that front, all of the units for the UEDF and Zentraedi are available to view on the kickstarter page. Look for the banners that read 'UEDF Organization" and 'Zentraedi Organization' or something like that. They appear at the top of each factions section of the main page. These wil...

Very Fun One Jr

In the presented scenario they would recieve half VPs. The glaug is the only mecha that matters as life is cheap, but you still have to destroy half the squad after the glaug to gain any VPs. This actually makes sense when you take into account the infinite spawning pods in my opinion. It is treate...

Very Fun One Jr

1) Special Characters - specifically the Zentraedi characters that can use Regults, Grell and Pirion-Galarr (p.68). What happens when they are eliminated from a unit subject to the Reinforcement rule, can they return to play? Also, since they are in a mecha that cannot contribute VPs via the 'Life i...

Very Fun One Jr

I've thought about the VP question overnight and I have to change my mind as the earlier interpretations seem to make more sense. I realized two things: first that, in practical terms, no individual mecha is worth any VPs, 'Life is Cheap' or not. Take a Valkyrie Squadron with a VF-1S attached. You m...

Very Fun One Jr

It's not absolutely clear and I personally loathe the "it doesn't say you can't, so you can" rationale for rule interpretation. The rule states that it applies to squadrons that have a Glaug. A Zentraedi Attrition Squadron does not have a Glaug. The only units called squadrons are the Core...

Very Fun One Jr

Does the Reinforcement Rule only apply to squadrons that have a Glaug on their own card or does it also apply to units that have a Glaug purchased a a Special Option?

Very Fun One Jr

After rereading the rules I now believe that killing the glaug alone does not satisfy the requirements of the victory point rule. I now believe you must kill the glaug and enough regults to destroy half the squad to get half the vp, or the glaug and all of the regults for full vp, but you recieve n...
