In reply to martin, those dragon tanks look fantastic. The would be a much better option for this. Who makes 20mm moderns?

So let me get this straight, DaWarboss. You are using the fact that you have bad decision making capabilities the basis for your argument about why we should support this game. Okay. I would imagine the conversation at mongoose went more like this: "Someone discovered the figs and now we're...

I agree with Pilgrim. The tank size problem doesn't really bother me. GW tanks are actually smaller on the table top than they should be (Try fitting 10 marines in a rhino) not the opposite as Mr. Evil has alleged. But they are still out of scale. I don't know if GW has argued against this...

I had $120 set aside to buy this stuff with. After seeing the pics I was hugely disappointed. I went to my FLGS today and saw the new GW empire stuff. I bought the army book and the battalion boxed set. There goes my BFE money.

yeah but the announcement came only after the complaints started to roll in I believe. So timeline is like this: pics posted complaints start complaints continue announcement from mongoose about pulling figs celebration from people, go get 'em mongoose, etc. announcement from mongoose that...

But this doesn't really follow with Mongoose's behaviour after the figures came in. The most disturbing thing about all of this is that the pictures were posted without much of a word about it. As far as I can tell, here's what happened: the figs came in. Someone AT Mongoose posted the...

Others have said here that the rules are fantastic, even though the figures now suck. I would certainly be willing to try the rules out for modern combat but without army lists it seems a little pointless. Right now I'm using Infinity for all my 20th century and beyond skirmish gaming (...

Mac V, I know what you mean. I don't really want to paint moderns either and although I'm a fairly good painter I don't mind buying painted figs if the deal is good enough. But I'm not going to play with bad looking figs either. The quick turn around on the quality made me think it was more...

Mac V, do you think you wouldn't be able to use the figures with other games? There are plenty of other manufacturers that make moderns. Surely there must be people playing other games besides this, you may be able to use your figures with those people. Not saying that there are any in your...

Helstrom, I guess if you can get them cheap somehow, if someone is blowing them out, you might have to wait for a little while. Like with the SST stuff, people are selling the Cap troopers for something like a couple of dollars a box. Your sentiments match mine exactly. The original...

The difference between the photos is most striking with the MEA faction. They looked pretty good before, now it is hard to like them. The Chinese look like they might be salvagable with a wash on their faces. But overall the price will have to come down significantly before I'm interested...

I agree, and I said that. But it is still censorship. It may be in the best interest of the company to take these things down sometimes, but at other times it may be better to leave them up. For example, Mongoose is currently facing a credibility problem. Their rep here says that the...

Are you serious? The threads taken down were two days old. It's not like it was some ancient topic that had the candy knocked out it after years of being bandied about. Those threads were taken down because they were critical of the product and showed direct comparrisons between the old and...
