Sorry but people can't start producing and selling models themselves to keep new blood coming in. I assume you know that such an act(only option that could do it) would be, not only complicated and expensive(we are talking about setting up your own miniature casting factory and mail order department!), also illegal!
If you don't believe me try to cast and sell ACTA models and see how fast lawyers are knocking on your front door ;-)
Sorry but no legal and realistic option ensures that game stays alive. We have SEEN that happen! High quality game with dedicated fans trying to keep game alive at all cost but end up with dead game ANYWAY. It's inevitable. No new blood=dead game eventually.

Well, time will tell, just like always. Right now I'm not hopeful, but who knows? If you're reading this, Matt, you'd better put resuming ACtA production at the top of your list for next year, if not sooner.

I feel sorry for those earthers who lost their homeworld, a grand admiral, and a heck of a lot of ships . . . for what? The promise of a new ship; which doesn't look likely to materialise. Such a shame.

Just trying to bring a little lightheartedness onto the thread. On the more serious side this sucks.

Just an aside guys, Mongoose arn't alone in this, other fantasy figure ranges are disappearing, and even regular historical wargaming figure companies are complaining about the costs of metal and having to put their prices up. We are not alone in getting hit by this one!

The confrontation figure line from Rackem, or something like that, have stopped production of what was the finest range of 25mm fantasy figures I've seen. Apparently they have dumbed down their controntation rules and have gone over to pre-painted plastic figures.

Well, though I am thouroughly dissappointed with this announcement, I for one will never stop playing this game. I love it and will play it until I no longer am able.
On the bright side LBH might get his ships put together and painted now.
Thanks Bry, I love hearing that you will not give up on ACTA.
Iron Wind Metals (formerly Ral Partha) is the company that makes the Battletech minis and have for years, I say Mongoose needs to get with them or a company like them to produce the minis for this game, let them do all the casting, that's what they do, make minis.

Seconded, Ral Patha produced some of the first figures I ever bought, back in the early 80s, and are still going now (ok, different name). They might be the answer to all our prayers.
