That is pretty neat. Also, the CoreControl glove is now available for public purchase (only through Avacore as far as I can tell), with a tag of... *drumroll please* $3295 - That's what I could find after 30 min of searching anyways. I think I'll get one in a few years. :)

The bugs are pink. No joke. Link for perusal: http://www.trooperpx.com/AFS/AFS01.html If you e-mail the guy who runs the site above about UnS, he is willing to sell DVD copies of it for $20. IMO it's well worth it.

S&P Exos look like they get 2 Firestorms when they replace the sixguns. Only two models/unit can do it though, not sure how I feel about that. It's a shame they can't target separate units like the heavy weapons within AT-43 squads.

Info on shooting unarmored cars...

This is no compliment. It's clearly a detractory statement (aka bashing) for both calling them "dumpy," and the Marauder comparison. For instance, have you ever called a girl dumpy to her face and expected it to be taken kindly?

I think the Rackham models are quite characterful and that they'll be good for miniature gaming in general. I also think Hiromoon is bashing them unnecessarily. Some find the current Skinny range as a whole ugly, some absolutely love it. It's characterful. Rackham's models aren't any...

As I've said before, I don't think you can injection mold colored parts, at least not at the detail you're seeing. You can use a 3-D printer to get that sort of detail, in which case the price is virtually the same colored or uncolored, the difference is just in the plastic powder used to make...

Something to chew on. Now can we get back on-topic? Politics and real-world situations in a game that is supposed to reflect real-world battlefields?

I didn't have any concret ideas when I wrote this. A few have given some constructive comments and here's a list of things that might fit well into a game that's supposed to be comparable to contemporary warfare. Assets: *Civilians used as human shields *Civilians that require defense - VP...

The modern-day battlefield includes far more than application of force - but what I had specifically in mind was politics. Do the whims of the politicians back home have any effect on their forces in the field or is BFE simply a WWII-style game with modern equipment and forces? Large-scale...

Since it's sort of a side hobby of mine... "On the subject of molding:" It's been possible to create mini's from the ground up using 3-d printers for awhile; not just sprued mini's, but fully assembled with overhangs that would give regular silicone or steel molds a headache (metaphorically...

Seeing as how there were a lot of people expecting the Forth to be released over the next 3 months... if Mongoose did get started on the production models for them and then called it off until pre-built, pre-painted models could be released, I'm sure there are plenty of gamers who would give an...

Suicide bombers anyone? Oh, and let's see that poll on TAC vs. Slingshot - I know I really want to get my hands on the dropship.
