Play it right and they might win you a game, a needle prick at a time.

I played a game with my twin 11 Yo's and it did take forever, so I'd certainly like to know if you are going to, or have already, shared some information on your morale system!Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03233527593085018736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3627201667298914772.post-39027169250853444322020-04-06T13:11:07.306-04:002020-04-06T13:11:07.306-04:00Yes I ordered some of those, expensive, but still ...Yes I ordered some of those, expensive, but still worth getting. I placed a pre order with Big Bad Toy Store and they are not estimated to arrive until 2nd Quarter. They had limited pre order ability and I was able to snatch four of the Queadluun-Rau. From what I've read they are exactly the same as the Robotech Tactics, as they took over the license from the mess that was a kickstarter. <br /><br />I scored two copies off of ebay for the archers and longbows, count on that costing you around 50 bucks with shipping. Just check Ebay every day. That's what I did. To make a proper Lance I needed two boxes. It took me a month to acquire second box. <br /><br />Cheers<br />KevinKevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07496898036305134720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3627201667298914772.post-63009028292831494022020-04-06T10:46:05.321-04:002020-04-06T10:46:05.321-04:00Wow!

Would love to hear your thoughts about the earliest days of the game.

I'm still on the hunt for the Archers and Longbows which seemed to be rarer than hen's teeth.<br /><br />I've also just learned that the company Kid's Logic is releasing some new Macross resin figures of about the same scale. Still hard to find in stock, but it looks like those plus Catalyst's new designs will keep some of the venerable original 3025 mechs on the table for years to come.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03300726634407646984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3627201667298914772.post-34770717877788898802020-04-05T21:22:06.504-04:002020-04-05T21:22:06.504-04:00I really enjoy reading these summaries.

It's still weird to me to see all of the non-Robotech modeled mechs, I'll admit. But it's great seeing summaries of the battles you're playing out.Peter Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14246000382321978462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3627201667298914772.post-75661562793101432062020-04-05T20:21:17.642-04:002020-04-05T20:21:17.642-04:00I loved Battletech and have read most of the novel...I loved Battletech and have read most of the novels. I wasn't into the full game but when Battleforce came out I was all in back in the day. My gaming friends had a blast with it. Playing other games it slowly faded into unplayed pile. <br /><br />Your write ups have the juices flowing again. Nice AAR and was fun to read. <br /><br />I recently picked up a great deal on Miniature Market of Robotech tactics. The rules are so so and I found that a lot of guys are using their robotech stuff using Battletech's Alpha strike rules. Fan base has provided cards for Robotech to use these and everything. <br /><br />Alpha Strike reminds me a lot of Battle Force, so I am excited to play once I build up a few Robotechs.<br /><br />You guys keep on keeping on! Keep your guns on target and your heat levels low!<br />Cheers<br />KevinKevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07496898036305134720noreply@blogger.com
