If you want to play Battlefield evolution Fantasy.... Why not just buy Chronopia? The rules are very similar since it and Warzone were one of Andy Chambers sources of inspiration when writing SST (Actually truth be told I think the Chronopia rules are a little more elegant in places), its...

Can people stop making excuses for Mongoose? Its bad enough when noone calls them on their mistakes, its even worse in situations like this where theres nothing wrong and people are still making excuses :D Mongoose is at least as big as Steve Jackson Games, its just makes it sound like Mongoose...

I tend to take shock sticks, simply because if you even get only one use out of the parry trait its worth it. Plasma grenades obviously for officers. Weapon wise Javelins if the units gonna be deployed on the board and Flamers if Im using drop pods (Although I am a big fan of two sniper rifles...

Ok, I know miniature wargaming might have soured you a little on producing anything more than books for a while, BUT: You own the rights to RuneQuest. DragonPass (is that what its called) is one of the most popular boardgames of all time, you have the expertese to produce a set of nifty plastic...

I was going to make a coy remark along the lines of 'if thats the case why is the book twenty quid over here?', but to be honest thats quite a fair price and I would have expected something closer to thirty. BUT that said comparisons between GURPS books and Mongoose books is entirly fair in...

If you need a rule book, I would propose that the SST download henceforth cease to be refered to as 'rules', and instead be known as: 'the unfininshed playtest army lists from war of the species'. If you want to see something approaching the old SST forum, I heartily recomend the link in my...

Nice :D SST forever!

You aren't the only one who's dismayed by the way Mongoose handles its licenses. If you're looking for a dedicated SST forum, why not try SICON command? (The address is in my sig), We did have a thread directing players to it in the BF:E forum, but it got deleted for some reason... :roll:

The lack of colour pics is just gonna keep getting highlighted I imagine :D Mongoose should publish a hardback version posthaste ("With colour pictures, just slapping the standard book in hardback form ala starship troopers is kinda cheeky lol). Lucky the review only mentioned Evolution (And...

I can't believe the books black and white, is that due to going back to third party printing presses or something? Seems a bit of an odd choice otherwise given how many other systems core books are colour at a similar price these days, although I suppose without a miniature line to absorb the...

I'm liking them 8) Always did have a soft spot for Genestealers and you've definatly got it looking sufficently buggy! Infact you've inspired me to try converting an imposter bug... or rather add that to the long list of hobby projects which always seem to get relegated by things like sleep...

Hey, I was just wondering if we're still set to get all the promised unrealeased SST material available as a free download? I still really wanna read all the Forth Fluff, since it was said that Mongoose wasn't skimping on it. I'd also like to try my hand at assembling forth proxy forces (styrene...

Props to the company for giving us these as a swan song! Its a nice move :D BUT... If the brain bug and that tanker were the extent of the 'redesigns'... maybe its a good thing SST was laid to rest... Infact, if Scipio were here, I'd be laying into him since he assured us all the new releases...

Oh for gods sake :roll: We will at least still get the rule book we've been told is completly finished??? As for the miniatures... Is it even worth it now? I don't think theres anyone who can take you seriously in the minatures field anymore. How many consumers and retailers have had their...

Ok, heres my attempt at answering your questions (Bearing in mind I haven't played a game in a donkeys age and I dont have my book here lol): 1) I have a feeling you can only flinch once per turn... 2) Its an incredibly poorly explained rule! There seems to be a table you use somewhere.... But...
