Banded Mongoose
I hate to resurrect this old thread, but I missed how we're supposed to get faulty books replaced. I noticed yesterday that my new (barely opened) book has pages starting to fall out. Has anyone had one replaced yet?
Anyone else disappointed in the full Rulebook?

I couldn't agree more. Sadly this is not the first time Mongoose has this issue. And somehow they don't seem to learn. *casts a nervous glance at first edition Conan RPG in the shelf*
Yes they have a splendind customer support and refunds and what not... but wouldn't it be much better to just get it right from the start?

I finally got my copy yesterday, and I'm satisfied with it. The binding looks okay to me, so I just hope it holds together. So far so good.
As far as content, I am also generally satisfied. The air rules and rules for structures look fine to me, and some of the advanced rules look interesting although I don't think I'd want to use all of them all the time.
I'm not sure about the army lists, though. They seem rather confining; they look to me to simply be a mechanism to sell more miniatures. :wink:
I've only glanced at the dozen scenarios but they seem to provide a nice variety of situations. The campaign system looks very interesting - could be fun.

Actually they're not that far off of modern doctrine for combined arms forces, at least at the basic, no frills level.
I play a USMC armored force, with one tank assigned as a command unit, that's a platoon (4) of M1A2's, plus a command M1A2, with two full squads of USMC infantry (2 squads of 17 men) mounted in shadows (6).
That's basically the same force composition I was most often in, in the Army, with a platoon of M1A1's, plus the company XO's track, plus two bradley's and their infantry.
My son plays PLA. A standard PACT organization, its very impressive (for a turn or two) to see his 5 WZ-551's and 10 Type 99's rolling in line formation across the table. More impressive to see all the burning tanks as you pass them heading to his deployment area, but impressive nonetheless.

DD, you don't cut your boy any slack, do you? Better to sweat in training than bleed in battle?

The pendulum swings both ways. I can't tell you the number of times he's literally shellacked me in 40k, ACTA and most especially SST (damned dirty bugs). I take my victories whenever and whereever I can get them.
That said, I'm incredibly proud of him. He is gracious both in victory and defeat. And I'd like to hope that if he someday decides to serve in the military, he'll take some of these tactical and strategic lessons with him into a successful career.
Regards,
Larry
