Ok, cool.

Is there an official Alpha Strike rulebook out in print somewhere?

Sorry for the newb questions, I've honestly haven't gotten into Alpha Strike yet to this point and I'm curious as to what I may need to get up to speed.

The alpha strike book is all in one*.

Alpha Strike: Commanders Edition

* No conversion rules tho. For them you need the otherwise depreciated Alpha Strike Companion and copious amounts of errata

Not... really?

Most of your needs will be filled by the MUL website for Alpha Strike. And for BT vanilla, the various record sheet sources.

Is the MUL website for Alpha Strike a separate site apart from the MUL ??

Nope. It's integrated. If you play around with the Unit and Force tabs, you'll see that you can create and print out Black and White Alpha Strike cards on a sheet. If you print on cardstock, you can cut out the cards separately if you like.

Indeed. The resource is supposed to help you get to either the information or the product you need. Good luck and enjoy the game.

The MUL is an amazing resource for prepping for Alpha Strike games. Depending on how you want to organise them, it's trivially simple to see lists for 'Mechs, vehicles, infantry, ASF, etc etc for a given faction at a given period. You can go window-shopping, or (like me) scan the minis you have to see a force you can start building with. Helps having the formation guidelines written down handy - eg if you want a Pursuit lance, you need X Y and Z, and so on.

Getting deeper, you can go looking for "What's available to Mercs in FCCW period with IT8" (eg. carries two squads of BA), or "has IF4" (lots of indirect fire), and so on and so on. Friend of mine went looking for designs that jump farther than usual (JMPS1) in order to buy minis from IWM.

Ghu has blessed the MUL, and honour to the MUL team!  :thumbsup:

I broke down and ordered the AS box set from B&N to make sure I can get a copy before too long...

My local FLGS got a whole case, which I think is more than we have players at the moment!  Even more when you consider that I'm less likely to want to get one as I'm not a fan of the new 'Mechs, and the rest I want to pack they come in anyway.
