Earth Alliance by the ages

The ISA dont lose the Victory. The EA are getting a unique ship in the Excalibur not access to Victory class ships. They can have one and one only. The ISA can still have as many as they can afford

I still think thats one too many for the EA!! should of kept it a ISA only ship in my opinion! seems once more that EA get all the love

they have the biggest sales market apparantly. Feed the cash cow so to speak.

The problem of course being that by feeding the cash cow you focus things even more on the EA as even more people will buy the fleet that has three ships for every one ship the other fleets have. In a year or two we can rename the game EA Wars. :wink:


Here I am, still waiting for my G'Vrahn. It's feeling like we'll see 2nd Edition with it's G'Vrahn stats before I actually see a G'Vrahn model, I mean why'd I buy Armageddon if my ships stats were going to be outdated before the model even comes out. :lol:

With ya there!! next thing its going to be called the EA civil wars game. "Yes you too can blast EA ships with your EA ships in an universe populated by no other races...well races we couldnt be bothered with....., So yes take your EA E-mine, battle laser, GEG Uber destroyer and blast......another EA Gravitic shifting, SM, adaptive armoured uber cruiser!!"

It's not that bad. CLose, but not quite.

Look at some other games. 40K anyone? "Well, everyone plays Space Marines so lets redo all the other armies so Space Marines can walk through them without a sweat. What's that, space dwarves, Squats, please, no one plays those, even though the few miniatures we make for them are selling like hotcakes. We don't need a codex for them. We can just get rid of them in the next edition!"

MP is not dropping anyone from the next edition and they seem to adding a bit. And, I do not see anyone else having their fleet list as messed with as the EA. First Three Lists and now ships some people have become comfortable with are disappearing. Only the Shadows come close in being as "tweaked." Other races may not get much, but then they do not lose much either.

Though Armeg counters would be nice.

Maybe they could The Great Burn wars where EA has another civil war. Could have various factions fighting it out. Might be fun.

I'd probably be less bothered if I actually had my Armageddon ships rather than not even having an estimate on when we'll see them. I'll grant I'm not as bad off as the Drakh(poor Drakh players, a whole year and still no Mothership) although at least they now have an estimate on when they'll see their ships. I have no idea when I'll be able to order a G'Vrahn. And by the time I do it might not be any good anymore depending on what they do with it in 2nd Edition.

The T'Rakks were nice. They make the Narn the only race other than the Raiders and EA to get ships outside of the main books. They're good ships too. The problem is that they're not as good as the other skirmish ships the Narn have. I've mentioned it before and I'll mention it again here, I hope in 2nd Edition that the T'Rakk takes the Thentus current place in the lineup(switch it's stats to the current Thentus stats or something equivalent using the 2nd Editions rule changes and new traits) and then make the Thentus a Patrol level ship(lowering it's stats obviously). The Narn could use another Patrol ship and the Thentus is said to be the oldest active ship in the Narn fleet.

My first 40K army was the orks. FOllowed by Imperial Gaurd, Tyrrannids and Tau. As you can guess I took a mighty beat down by the space marine.

I have played ISA, Narn, Abbai and EA. So far, I like the Abbai and EA.

Heres a similar question:

Do any Early EA players use E-M War Variants? That Bolter Nova variant just looks scary to me!

Good question I was gonna wate till Fleet Cards came out......

Bolter Novas and The small ones that came with the First EA Fleet Box

And as to them losing the Nemesis. Good riddance to it. I play crusade EA and can telly you flat out that I would never, EVER have fielded one, at any level against any opponent. And its not even a nice model to my mind. I'll have a War level Warlock and 2 Marathons thanks!

Keen observers and mongoose employees will note incidentally that this also represents me spending more money on minis than 1 Nemeis model too so everyone should be happy

I'm sure your probably right, but can I have a link to the statement? And as for defending why the EA should have the Victory's I think it makes sense with the fluff, they were constructed in EA shipyards, and I certainly doubt they would forget all that luscious ancient vorlon tech.

Edit- Found the statement on page 11 of the second edition thread.

How long did it take to read that?
It's pretty close to the longest thread we have ever had on these forums.

I didnt I just brought up the quick word search bar on my web browser and looked for Excalibur, and I eventually found somebody who's forum name is a real name, and had the title of some sort of mongoose, said it and others like that verified it.

My first(and still most beloved) 40k army was orks. Although I'm planning on assembling a Tyranid army eventually.

As anyone who's been around knows, I'm a Narn loyalist for ACTA although I have the beginnings of a Centauri fleet(Know thy enemy and all that). I deny that the fact I like the appearance of the Vorchan and Primus has anything to do with my having the fleet of the forces of evil. It's purely for practical tactical simulations.

So if the EA helped build a ship using vorlon tech how can the ISA complain about the Nemesis possibly having shadow tech? One rule for EA and one for ISA?[/quote]

 

[Da Boss]

Yeah well there is always double standards for Shdows interference and Vorlon interference. Both are as bad as the other - except the Vorlons win - all their plans come to fruitation as a far as I can see.

As the Minbari/ ISA are creations of these plans of couse they don't want you siing Shadow tech......
