Will POD be available for Europe with affordable postage? Usual $20+ postage is pretty high and it would destroy whole idea to me and my friends.

Would it be accurate to say that the final product will be injection-molded plastic, mastered off the original digital files, rather than off of the physical prototypes?

I would assume this is the case, several companies now use CAD to sculpt their new miniatures. As the Mech's are plastic I would suspect the metal moulds are machined using the original CAD as the old method for making moulds thank I know off was to produce 3 ups and cut the moulds using those.

If the Mech’s were resin or metal, then it’s possible the moulds would be made from printed masters. Forge World has had a few resin models show the steps, I haven’t seen examples. While Corvus Belli use metal and I think they produce printed masters, but they don’t have the steps showing, they might use a milling machine rather than a printer to produce them.

I know others have already said it, but yes, if there are truly is no plan to release those sheets, it would be greatly appreciated if CGL would at least put out the raw stats so players can recreate them if they so desire.

Will the release of the PC game affect new product....or will the PC game add stuff in from stuff coming out??

I don't understand the second part of your question. But I think I get the gist, and the answer is no, the PC game will not affect Coming Releases one way or the other.

The only POD product currently scheduled is "Capital Punishment," the compilation of some of the Jihad-era Turning Points. I can't speak as to shipping rates.

POD (as currently planned) will be via One Book Shelf (DrivethruRPG, RPGNow, etc.), who maintain a printer in the US and the UK, and use whichever works best for the customer ordering.

I assume (and hope) there may be some CGL team Battletech Game multi-player sessions that go on into the wee-hours of the morning after 24 April. Therefore, there might be some minor impacts on your ability to do proofing and editing with weary eyes and brain  ^-^ However, we will forgive you guys a small amount of fun :thumbsup:

No further XTRO's for 2018 then?
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.

I think Succession Wars v2 was the only one on the list. We’ve only gotten one in each of the last two years so I wouldn’t be surprised if tptb were more or less done

This has probably been asked, but has there been any word about if or when the miniatures in the Beginner and Armored Combat sets will be available to purchase seperately?

No word, but i'd expect "no", at least for now.

I would guess IWM will probably make metallic versions later on.

Lance Packs contained most of the previous intro box's contents.

Thanks. I want the Armored Combat box, but want that Griffin in the Beginner without having to get the whole thing. I'll just wait a bit and see.

I mean how many Quickdraws must a man get, just so he can have a couple spare Panthers, Grasshoppers, and Dragons (and I'm not even that big a fan of the Dragon!). And the Vindicator... ugh

Granted I love the idea of the Lance Packs... it's just the repeats. Some are just... I hate to say it: aweful.

That being said: I'd want at least one of each mech from the new set: but not necessarily multiples of some.
