The latest designs on Paradiso are emphasising a more formal, Tombstone inspired look than last year ...

You already asked this, and I answered:

I'm told that the Map Pack, the pin, and the BattleMats are expected to be on hand at Adepticon; unsure on quantities, but expect them to be limited.

What? Surely not, it just came out. Is there something missing or wrong with it? I just scanned mine quickly.
Epitaph on an Army of Mercenaries

These, in the day when heaven was falling,      Their shoulders held the sky suspended;
The hour when earth's foundations fled,         They stood, and earth's foundations stay;
Followed their mercenary calling,               What God abandoned, these defended,
And took their wages, and are dead.             And saved the sum of things for pay.
     
A.E. Housman

Just curios to know as I was going to print and bind the Fronc Reaches PDF, so just want to know if I should wait on that.

In a surprising coincidence, I peeked over at Sarna to see just how many "35th _____" units there were.  Quite a few, all of which would tie in perfectly with that pin!  Unfortunately it seems many of them got wiped out in the 1st or 2nd SW, so...maybe we should fix that.

I have no idea. Sorry, “when” isn’t something I usually have knowledge of. I sometimes know what is being worked on or not, but when requires a comprehensive and/or decision making level I’m not at. I have to wait alongside everybody else.

I know this is about new product, but I hope no-one minds if I make a request of sorts.  It's regarding Touring the Stars.

I love what's done, so far, but I was wondering if there's a way to do a general classification for each type of society in each system.  Something like: Centralized Colonyville versus Dispersed Population versus Well Developed versus... you get the idea.

I look at what I've read of New Earth, where it's an older colony, well developed with cities all over the place, at one point.  Easy to imagine there's not much remaining that's unexplored. 

Pit that versus Astrokaszy, which has a dispersed population with many caliphate city states at perpetual war with each other.  There's room on that planet for roaming nomadic tribes of dispossessed treasure-hunters to hide.  Enough so that WoB and the Marians were running operations into the Magistracy from that world. 

Versus a system that's still young enough that the capital is the first colony site, and not much has spread beyond there except for the ones seeking isolation, or people dedicated to food production.  (I can't think of any specific ones right off hand.)

Is that possible? Should that be a fan project, instead?

Thanks.

Love both the map set and the battlemats, but can't afford to buy either until they're available from UK retailers. Shipping adds ~65-70% to the cost and that's just too darned much, never mind the risk of getting sting for 20% import duties  :(

Any idea when/if these products (and both new box sets) are likely to be available in the UK?
