I'm usually not one to gripe as I think Catalyst items are pretty fairly priced but $15 for seven sheets seems a little steep. Am I missing something?

Thank for the answer about the book,

I'll try to find it in Europe, and at least order it from official webstore.

Is there any word yet on if/when the units from TRO:3145 Republic of the Sphere and Record Sheets: 3145 New Tech, New Upgrades will be offered in Ship Card form on the Master Unit List?

My 2 cents? An AS intro box set in either ToW/Star League or Early Clan years with 16-20 plastic mechs would be the bees knees. Make it for $40 and it would be a value that blows the big mini games out of the water.

My apologies if I've said this before. I am getting thread fatigue and can't remember what I've mentioned where any more. You can thank AS for that.

Heck yes! I have the 25th Box Set, but I'd buy this too, just to have an easy way to carry all that goodness.

don't forget AS cards for common 3025 and 3052 versions of the reguallr starter set's figures (including the Loki, Thor, madcat, and battlemeaster, if not already in the AS boxset).. that would let players with the regular starter sets use those as an immediate expansion for their AS games..

There's also a sheet of blank cards in the back of the PDF for Alpha Strike...

And yes, some mechs aren't near what they are in TW rules while some you might have never taken are solid designs.

There are no standalone blank cards? I'd have to get the full PDF from an online retailer?

Good news! If you have Army Builder, then you can get the 3050 'mechs in there!
Also, I believe you can print up the Alpha Strike stats from the MUL, as well.

Or photocopy that page. It is worth getting the rulebooks in PDF especially if you can hold out for one of the sales and get them for $5 each.
