Mars and Gettysburg

Well there's a TMP announcement that the Gorn Reference sheets are up on Wargames Vault, and that went up yesterday - so I'm guessing that may have taken priority

They snuck those out!

Yeah... makes me wish I'd pre-ordered them, now.
They went from $14.99 for a full set of laminated cards to $4.99 for Gorn only - and in print it yourself PDF format.

 

[Greg Smith]

That is quite a price difference.

you know its ashame.this is a great game.but ever since the start its been delay after delay

Thats what happens when a company communicates its daily life in real time rather than set a release date months in the future and say nothing - you see every little delay rather than have them invisible, and its gonna get worse when there is two partner involved and you will see it all. While I prefer the communication of Mongoose, I always take comments here with a big pinch of salt and all wiggle room needed and I do sometimes think there is too much/too detailed a report of the day to day goings-on on here.

I definitely prefer that to situations like the new version of Crude for example where the game is overdue for some reason, but finding out why or when is impossible, the website news hasnt been updated for 3 months and so I have no idea when its coming.

Both styles give reasons why I rarely pre-order anything from anyone....

I totally agree. Yes, it's frustrating know the product you want is being delayed of some other reason. But at the same time at least you know.! and Knowing is half the battle.. :mrgreen:


PS. come on some finish the line...

 

[krashreed]

Some more changes have been requested, will keep you informed...

AAAAARRRGGHHHH!!! I'm such a block head!!!

In very much the same way as when Lucy pulls the football away from Charlie Brown, I fall for this everytime...

Someday Charlie Brown will kick that football, and some day I will get a ACTA:SF pdf from Matt.

 

[archon96]

yep this is getting very old very fast.

SVC just announced he has approved Fleet Update 2 for Immediate release over on his Discus forum so hopefully it shows up soon. I'm looking forward to seeing this.

 

[Stu--]

Yup, looks to be very much on the way.
Sounds like a good update, Gatling phasers and escorts..

 

[MongooseMatt]

Indeed, just let me have a coffee, and it will be up!

 

[Loweko]

That must be one heck of a coffee...

 

[jb45]

i was wouldering the same thing.must have been a pot,not a cup

 

[Lincolnlog]

Matthew, that's one heck of a cup of coffee, I've had a pot since you posted that. Where exactly will you be be posting that once your cup has drained?

 

[Davros1]

This very frustrating now for me since there has been no activity regarding the PDF for the last few hours . Myself and many guys are waiting for the promised PDF with all these fantastic new rules and ships .

I have started playing the MJ12 Romulan armada rules to get my fix of SFB and they quite good and flexible so I may just go over to those instead wasting my time with ACTA SFB :evil:

 

[MongooseMatt]

Going as fast as my little fingers will work!

 

[MongooseMatt]

Proper announcement in a mo, but if you are waiting with bated breath;

Enjoy!

Thank you

This looks great.

But you have made my wife Mad. Because now i need to buy more ships.

Any idea when the other new ships will start shipping. I am especaly eager to get my hands on the new Klingons.

 

[Stu--]

Very nice, cheers Matt.

I know it's very early..... but the Kzinti escort frigate doesn't seem to be on par with the others - I don't suppose it should be able to fire its anti-drones to cover friendly ships?

 

[MongooseMatt]

Any idea when the other new ships will start shipping. I am especaly eager to get my hands on the new Klingons.

Some are starting to go out now, but they will be flooding out within the next two weeks or so!

Thanks Great news.
