Can Mongoose not get royalties by licensing the ACTA ruleset out to other miniatures companies? For instance, I play a good deal of Corvus Belli's Infinity these days, and that's a setting begging for a space combat game of some sort.

Version 2? Colour me intrigued - any more news?

As Iain says, there really isn't that much variability in British WW2 kit for infantry - the number of Bren guns in any infantry company increased towards the end of the war, PIATs replaced Boyes rifles 2 pounders originally started in the hands of the infantry, but by the time of the 6pdr AIUI...

Vorlons now SOLD - Minbari are still going spare.

Minbari and Vorlons are still available if there's any interest.

Well, going by the recent FoW announcement of the 'mid war monsters' I don't think it'll be too long until they start making a late war series of vehicles, too - currently it's difficult enough to find a Comet tank (QRF make one, mind you) in 15mm. Let alone a Centurion :)

Well, after much cursing, slicing, gluing, ungluing, regluing and a little bit of filing... Unfortunately I dont have any WIPs of the process. The basic run of it was: hacking off all features from the cast turret, coarse filing and emery clothing back to a generally smooth finish. Then, using...

Read the wording of the AA, shield, dodge and GEG traits - I'm pretty sure they refer to ignoring/discounting incoming damage or AD up to certain limits. If the GS description doesn't say that it ignores those traits, then you have to assume that they still work as normal. Damage is still...

Does this reasoning hold true? They are just traits - they can be lost due to criticals etc., so all of a sudden you 'inherent' features such as vorlon AA or Shadow Shields no longer work. Go figure.

I've finally sat down to start modifying a 15mm (QRF) mark 3 Centurion in much the same way - though it's effectively amounted to a complete stripping back of the turret to the bare shape (the Mk3 isn't quite 'right' in profile or otherwise). Building the polsten gun ball mount is also a...

Alternative mechanics and extra options such as manual targetting special actions have been suggested and poo-poohed in the past. What can you do? Ultimately stealth is something completely out of your hands as a player - there's no realistic way to hold long range and fight effectively (for...

What did Vorlons get?

Battle + Battle = War? Battle = 1 raid + 2 skirmish? + Battle = 3 skirmish? Or have things changed? If so, and 1:3 is gone, then you end up with 2 Raid and 4 skirmish, which is still more than you were comparing.

Doesn't this quietly ignore the fact that the Warlock gets to fire back a grand total of 6AD of missiles? Nothing else in range, nothing else can bear. Even if it closes on a subsequent turn and the Centauri are obliged to get closer or disengage, the squadron can take it apart from the sides...

Again QFT. Remove the ship limit, and they'd swarm all over it. With the 8 ship limit, you could still throw in some big powerhouses and a 6-ship alpha team to go with. What's the FAP limit?
