Read the lastest blog news regarding SST and ACTA, then weep because Mongoose has apparently axed miniature production for all games -- thereby killing all miniatures games.
The're apparently going to paper products only . . .

Hasta Luego, Mongoose . . . . Tie this wunnerful news with the constant complaints about Mongoose' poor quality control in their printing and binding operation and I can only thank goodness for the other Gaming companies who are providing good quality products to their customers. I have all of my Fi...

Well, having read through all of this blather . . . here is my take on things: MI - no tanks specifically no MBT does not fit their tactical role. Possdible MBT and IFV for Colonial troops (aka national guard second line troops). I consider only the original Robert Heinlein source material in my cho...

There are many things I could say here in a negative fashion. I have held on for over nine months now for SST:Evo but to be honest BF:Evo is simply not my cup of tea. I spend on average $500 per month or more and I have been spending my hobby money elsewhere. This is simply lost money to Mongoose an...

Personally I really like the way effective weapons range is handled in AT-43. The system allows for "potentially quite long range fire" with many weapons, it does make accuracy less likely at long range. At least the concept deserves consideration. The system also has some latitude for allowing for ...

Have to say, "Very nicely done".

A little more textural depth added and perhaps some individually based vegetative pieces and it will be truly stunning.

Congratulations on a very playable game table.

Emperor Penguin,

The only rationale is SUITS
Rememmber not rational but rationale.

Gee you don't think maybe the ultimate inspiration comes from real world events??? You know both Historical events and more current events being extrapolated into the near future :?: :?: :?: Maybe it was some bad anchovies on a week old pizza :?: :?: :?: I really do not know myself, but I really wou...

I have used a variation on dipping, by making my own dipping solution using a clear acrylic (Future Liquid Floor Wax) along with adding either ink or acylic paint to maych or compliment the color of the figure. With a little experimentation this can work with any color. This also acts to base coat a...

My understanding of the scale involved with BF is that it is approx 1/64 not 1/72 -- a definitely noticeable difference. Main issue on optical appearances as has been discussed literally dozens of times THE BASES ... they make everything appear to be in a different scale. The human figures are in th...

Personal opinion only. :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: I am buying back into SST and will hope for the very best. When SST Evo actually is here then, and only then, will I know the answers to these many questions. :?: :?: :idea: :idea: I for one like the first edition reaction process. I am not s...

Oh. no, no, no -- there goes Max being reasonable again!!!

That voice of reason thing again...

Don't know where the Lesbian bit comes from?? I heard they were to be a matriarcal race (women in charge) even if purely female no necessarily lesbian. They could rely on parthenogenisis (sp) for procreation or test tube babies with artificially controlled sex determination. You know, perhaps their ...

Oops sorry for the double post.

First off, this post is not to criticise anyone elses opinions on sculpts, this is just to state my own unsolicited (2 cents worth) opinion. I feel GW sculpts have too much, of a Baroque/Rococo/Gingerbread style. They represent a future in which humanity has been unable to recover their technologica...

Just remember SST is a licensed product line and MGP is limited on what they are permitted to do regarding fluff. I have a feeling that Robert Heinlein's estate have a pretty fair amount of control over some aspects of print publication. When anyone compares 40K fluff, with over twenty years of cont...

Turtle , seems to me by your statements, if they turn out to be accurate that you have indicated that those very things which sold me on SST, may have been stripped out of the game for the sake of "streamlining"/"balance". If this is true I feel it is unfortunate, really unfortunate :!: :!: :!: I r...

If you read the various threads you will see that those who have seen and measured the figs are pretty certain they are a "true" scale 28mm figure size.

Just quoting what has been said.

GW nor any game company has any legal say as to what figures game players use with their rules set -- unless it is in a GW Store or GW Sponsered tournament. If any GW employee were to say anything stupid to most players I am acquainted with in that regard in apublic venue they would laughed out of t...

In 40K I frequently used Scout Sniper heavy units, to suppress and destroy my enemies. Once moved into a protected , covered and concealed position not to move again during the game, only to fire each game turn. The problem on most gaming tables always comes back to "insufficient scenery". On a 4 by...
