5341 backers @ $1.44 million!

Orguss Valk, VF-4, recovery pod, and experimental mecha!

Maybe the augmented MPA will show up in the future.

Ghost drones unlocked! Maybe the Orguss Valk is the 1.150m goal!

Almost 4,000 backers. Closing in on $1 million with 60 hours left with a free Super Veritech and 3 free  female power armors and other stretch goals on the line.

The final ramp up has already begun!

Reminder emails are going out soon so don’t miss out because the Amazon servers crash during the last minute scramble to get piles of these excellent miniatures for less than $2 each!

I second Variables request!

For any Battletech/Mechwarrior fans, this is your golden opportunity to pick up the “Unseen” mechs to use in your games.

Not for Robotech. There was Battletech that renamed and used some of the Macross/Robotech mecha that was later dropped because of copyright infringement. More recently it was made into a Mechwarrior miniatures boardgame but  Robotech is based on Palladium Books RPG.

Been stumbling across rumors on the internet for years about a Robotech miniatures game.

[cue Red Alert music]

Robotech RPG Tactics is currently on Kickstarter:

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/rrpgt/robotech-rpg-tacticstm

Being developed by Palladium Books, Sodapop miniatures and Cipher Studios.

The models look great and in addition to the intro video there is another showing an example of game play.

Its already funded and it seems like stretch goals are achieved daily with more announced.

Can’t wait to get this!

Yah, I use the gray/green for AH.

@Gargantua:

Lets hope they don’t F*ck this up.

Don’t worry they will

I was going to make a plea on Larry’s page that he at least recruit some regulars to proofread the rules and maps to avoid the embarrassing SNAFUs of previous games but realized its probably already on its way to the printers…

Anyone else vote in this? Think it would be nice to see some equal representation over those pansy euro worker allocation and tedious card games.

Head over and vote for your favorite A&A boardgames, and whatever others are left over after you fill the slots with A&A.  :-D

Meh, chips are for poker.  :-D  I buy multiple copies and plunder from other games if needed. Only use the red chips for damage.

Actually saw this for sale in Walmart. Should certainly make it more available to the digitally deprived and FLGS-less.

Seem to recall they fixed some issues with the original. A fun game. Always wanted to add more epochs using Axis & Allies, Fortress America and Risk 2210 units.

I got two copies. That should hold me over until Europe and Pacific are rereleased. They should have all the new pieces and I’ll get two copies each.

To me it seems '41 has the more interesting new sculpts. Very disappointed '42 is not getting those as well.

Yeah, Sicilian wives hit back!

Retailers should have their copies by now, today at the latest if release is still the 19th.  Any FLGS owners/employees out there?

@cebrickey:

Why is unoccupied China divided north / south in A&A 1941 instead of east / west as in A&A 1942 (and Revised, MB, and Nova versions)? And then two infantry in one territory and none in the other?

I like this setup because China was divided North and South between the Communists and Nationalists. Not sure why the commies dont get any units, though.

Any web site have preorders for this yet?

There are several Hitler videos for Pacific 1940 based on those issues that plagued it when it was released:

Yes the intent seems to be to cross apply these changes to global–-where they are not needed.

The addition of Russia, UK Mediterranean forces, change in turn order and the diplomatic situation seems to solve the J1DoW and J3IC issues. Interestingly enough, I actually proposed the first two factors as solutions along with a more historical set up and they were rejected out of hand.  :?  Now the discussion has turned to an across the board force reduction of all powers with some ship redeployment and a few added infantry. I think the best thing to come out of the discussion is the addition of a naval base to New South Wales.
