It'll be made, but the question is, of course, "when" the first 3 are Davion, Kurita and Mercenaries, I suspect after that the next in que will be invading clans, followed by the CC and FWL

The fourth was Force Manual was confirmed to be Invading Clans about three weeks ago in the Tuesday Newsday update.

I understand these are like newer versions of the sourcebooks?

Not exactly, these are books more like the previous Combat Manual series, helping players identify units and make force lists for Alpha Strike and Classic.

Nice - Mine pledge/add-ons is a little less than yours (around $700), but my shipping is nearly twice ($170+)

Same here--$690 pledge and $167 shipping.  Although I think the both of us suffer from being on the west coast of North America.  We couldn't get much further from the shipping hub in the South unless we were in Alaska.

I would suggest any decent tablet, and use FLECHS SHEETS (https://sheets.flechs.net/)

These are interactive record sheets and allow one to track a great deal of stuff - (does require wi-fi access)

Finally logged in and checked my shipping for the first time. $100 is a lot, but given that my pledge and add-ons total out to about $800, it seems reasonable.

Oh, I know it's absolutely a country of residence issue, just frustrating is all.

Does look like there wasn't VAT due on my CI stuff though, from what I can see, hence the frustration.

I mean you are correct CI vat wasn't do.  Changes however fixed it were now you guys have to pay the vat.  I have been very critical of CGL but they were very upfront that backers overseas were on their own for VAT.   I do get though why that would effect you backing.   Honestly just that CGL can't post shipping charges without all sorts of problems should give people pause.

Hellraiser and DevianID

You do realise you are comparing your XLE designs with an SFE one, right?


You prefer an XLE mech that emphasises engagement at a distance of... 3 Hexes.
Ok, I'll stich to a mech that is both
a) more survivable
b) is not constrained to being a one show pony with zero contribution anywhere else.

now IF I wanted something more survivable AND with a more potent punch up close in case, then install a LFE and add two medium XPLs. BUT you end up with a mech that costs close to double to one the SFE one.

P.S The wolverine is supposed to be tough and survivable.
With an XLE it becomes rather fragile.

If you're in the EU, there's been a change in how Crowdfunders are taxed, so they get hit for VAT now.  It's deeply frustrating.

Never surprised to hear about politicians saying, "There's a new thing we aren't taxing?!  We must remedy that!"
