Any idea when a PDF version might be available?

How long until the PDF will be available on Wargaming Online? Will it be a while after the book is released, very soon after, at the same time?

I'm glad I'm not the only one that likes the idea of paper minis. While I like painting minis, my MADD(Miniature Attention Deficit Disorder) makes painting entire armies difficult. I like playing and trying new units as often as possible, though cost/time etc. precludes a lot of that. For...

Yup, I remember. I was the one doing the DFA at the time, much to the disliking of my target as well as my commander that was responsible for making sure the mechs are in working order for the next campaign game :P Depends on your playing style and preferences. I like firepower, and when in...

There are many systems that have this type of action system for the exact reason of modeling the ability to command a force. From my experience, you see it in larger scale games, i.e. where a small model scale is used to model large-scale battles. In my Mechwarrior games, you get 1 command for...

Are you gaming at the place in down town Gilbert? (The name escapes me.) I was in the back playing Battletech...maybe I saw you there. as everyone should... Not necessarily. Certainly, every fleet benefits from scouts. In general, Vree have pretty good anti-fighter ratings, so keeping...

Maybe start with the FAP designated for the force, e.g. a 6 FAP Raid force has 6 activations, then have the command special trait add activations instead of to initiative. I would also state that the All Stop special action is a free action not requiring an activation. Ships that cannot do a...

Not going to be at the Con this year, maybe next. Though I think your assessment is accurate, no minis means dead game. Not sure what the fascination with minis is. I like painting and building etc, but come the weekend, I really want to play a game, minis or no. For me, minis are like...

I second this opinion. I go back and forth between trying to play a strategic space wargame and outrageous space combat. I'd like to expand on this duality with the points you made. While the FAP/Class system is kind of neat in grouping like-sized ships, there are some real winners and losers...

All gone...

I am ditching the last of my SST stuff on the ebay. darklord4 Sorry I can't ship international, but I have yet to find an reliable AND economical way to ship things overseas. If you are in the US military overseas, sending things to APOs overseas counts as being in the US for shipping :)

The period has a great deal of change. It would be interesting to see early war US vs late war US...statwise, not the actual fighting :P It would be neat to see the A-1 Skyraider make an appearance in BFE:WaW, BFE:Korea, and BFE:Vietnam...

Are the air rules part of the core rules? or are they an extension that could be modified under the OGL?

Are the rules for air units similar to what we have seen in the past?

I'll have to look more into Full Thrust. At first glance, the inertial system put me off(I think that was FT). I was also looking at Starmada X, but I really don't like the blind-move system. That mechanic seems like it should be an optional rule for an alternate game style. I like ACTA for...
