Dropfleet Commander by Hawk Wargames is one getting good vibes (and on my list) - (Dropzone is already in the shops - check out the Hawk Website) - :D Dropfleet hits the shops July/August 2016 - http://gamerati.com/dropfleet-commander-exclusive-first-look/ Firestorm Armada - Spartan Games...

Bellicose, Given Mongoose and there past IP issues I am avoiding any Mongoose product at the moment and there are now a good few rulesets out there for Space Wargames with no IP issues (and a few upcoming). I pop past the forum every so often in the vain hope of seeing something promising...

I don't think I would buy another ruleset from Mongoose, I did have high hopes for Starfleet but the move back to ADB has made it virtually impossible to get minis and players in the UK. Yes I know you can import but not having a player base in the UK makes it a waste of time. As for NA I have...

Rumour has it that is still in the works... but maybe in electronic format rather than print.

I have seen very small amounts of "A Call to Arms" models in the UK shops - but I think they are from before the "change of model" i.e. ADB taking over the distribution etc. I don't think there is any UK or European distributor nowadays.

FFG's Star Wars & WizKids Star Trek both have an amazing fan base and a lot of collectors buy, not to play - but to add to their collection - so you have three to four revenue streams (Players, collectors, casual fans , investors,....) from the one product. They have a well developed back...

In my opinion any new ACTA system/setting would really struggle - It would need to develop a background and setting that could hook players, keep them interested for a number of years and evolve during this period. As for licenses - Most big ticket licenses are tied up in long term deals, B5 /...

I had an idea that something like this was on the cards - I came across a reference to another NA minis game being planned around Christmas... :roll: wish I had saved the link. The problem is we do end up investing quite a lot in a game, and to have it end like this is disheartening, none of...

Catch 22 - Replies to posts - gets told he spends too much time responding to posts.... Does not reply to post - Will be accused of not taking an interest in the fanbase..... Spends time working on games - Not interested in the community as he is not responding to posts.... I jumped at...

Been away from the game for a while and did not know about this change. Shame as importing from the States tends to be a bit of a hassle. Have to be honest this means that it will make it more difficult/costly for UK players and if UK Customs get involved :cry:

If you want the full line - go though Mongoose direct - As Kronos said IGUK and leisure Games are another good online bet - Also try Wayland Games. Not seen much of the line in brick and mortar FLGS :roll: beyond the rulebook.

Not sure if I gave missed it or what. Is there going to be a State of the Mongoose?

Not sure how feasible this is (Considering the big M's workload) Create a rulebook for Evolution ONLY. - Include stats for standard units (grunts, tanks, aircraft, patrol boats, etc) Use already commercially available models (Say 1:72 - 1:76 (OO) scale) as units

Nearest FLGS (Static Games – Glasgow) – 300 mile odd round trip (I know there are a few others in Scotland - Dundee, Aberdeen, Stirling, Edinburgh etc. don’t find myself much in these areas nowadays) One of the “games stores” I visited recently – not so much games – Mentioned Mongoose /...

Did not Mongoose lost the license to produce Conan ?…. (and I have heard that Robert E. Howard’s estates has some plans…)
