I don't come over here much since the minis went away, but just saw this topic and read the Nov. 3rd Planet Mongoose. I like the direction. I really like the idea of Judges as another option in addition to gangs, i.e.- a credit (point) balanced faction approach. One suggestion, even if optional beyo...

Because with a jump, you have to clear 6" in one go, which gives you a maximum height that can be scaled - with a Lizard Line, you can keep climbing every turn. Jumping into reaction range also gives the enemy a +1 to the damage roll which I do not believe is the case when climbing or otherwise mov...

1. The Jump trait does this too :) Ok, good to know. I didn't recall seeing jump mentioned in the falling rules (1stEd.), but then again I don't have the rules in front of me. 2. I would be tempted to make the LAMI walk - after all, who is going to trust them with anything so complicated as a lizar...

We used them in games with the following type of terrain: Why? It looks short enough to just jump to me. Two reasons. First- Lizard lines give the climb attribute which reduces damage from falls that result from flinching. The size 4 plateau terrain being fought across would result in a 4" fall. Th...

Jay, Not sure if you were the creator of a Horror mod I saw posted months ago for Evo, but some portions of those were used and modified again for the following game: http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c53/Goldwyrm/NJCON/NJCON2008048.jpg http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c53/Goldwyrm/NJCON/NJCON20080...

What??? :?: I think he said: Hmm... Und was war am Teck-Con und am Celtic Con, und von welchen anderen Cons redest du denn? Parallel zu manchen Cons bei uns beiden hier in der Region laufen halt auch Cons oder im Umkreis Großveranstaltungen, gegen die der Con einfach nicht mithalten kann. Sad but t...

For the love of.... don't tell him that Greg! The fact that we here in the US are bidding in a foreign currency is hard enough!!! Ditto!! :lol: Personally I don't care when they end. The first go around I was too busy at work. The second time I put in some bids 2 hours or so before the end and was ...

Those are way too small for 28mm but the fighter *might* be big enough for 15mm, maybe.. The dropship is even smaller and might be closer to use for 10mm or 6mm.

They're movie fan resin models, so I doubt they had gamers in mind when making them.

Linus, I understand what you're saying. However, people were gaming Starship Troopers in some form well before Mongoose came out with the game and will be far after. Back when I was playing 1st Ed. 40K a friend had Galoob toys we used. Alot of other Xeno/Alien/Bug armies are partly based or inspired...

I was always a big fan of the movie, had only heard of the book, and had never heard of the CGI when I first got into SST. I started with 2 box sets picked up on sale at a convention in 2005 and followed it up with a handful of other models, adding 1 of each of the basic Marauders a Brain Bug, and s...

Are the SST army lists for Evo a separate product from the previously announced SSTv2:WotS pdf?

Should we expect to see both?

<<Gulp>>

How about a timeshare..err..bugshare?

I hope you wait until the end of March on the 3 up Plasma Bug, so I can outbid Gauntlet with a portion of my work bonus

Thanks Darklord. My future Skinnie army will be very grateful to receive a Skinnie Lord as general.

I also liked some of your Forth conversions/substitutes, especially the 3 lots of 2 walkers. I almost went for those, but I'm not ready to start a fourth army.

Good luck to Hiromoon and Bubba Ho-Tep. "Bid Again" at 50 paces..

Good luck to Scipio with the website and forum. I'll be checking back.

That or a 3-up Tanker Bug would look rather interesting on the tabletop..

Thank you again.

Matthew, Thank you for the prompt reply. I hope then that you could clarify my perception of the current status of miniature rules and games: Starship Troopers Game box and rules- Discontinued Starship Troopers Game Miniatures- On Hiatus Starship Troopers v2-War of the Species- To be released as fre...
