Got my replacement Locust today. Interestingly the plastic is a slightly darker shade of grey, seems more rigid, and has crisper details.

Sounds like different batch of plastic granulate. Well, what to say, China. :D

Well, stick with this supplier of granulate please! :thumbsup:

Rules for Sisters of Battle BA.

Actually? I did that on the old forums, hrm...doesn't seem to be in the Fan Creations forum anywhere, I guess. I'll figure it out and make them again there.

Finally got a chance to ask my game shop, they order from Alliance as well. I would need to speak to the owner during the work week to learn more.

Same here...when I had one of their guys look up that list that was supplied earlier, they couldn't find anything, except a listing each for an Ureaus, Xanthos and one other 'Mech...and when he brought up a picture of the Xanthos, it was of the MWDA clickbase version!

He said he would have the owner check my (modified) list out...

I'm pleased to report that when I was at a Battletech game yesterday, the store had four copies of A Game Of Armored Combat boxsets on the shelves.

Well, they did when I got to the store. They were down to one by the time the game was over.

Got mine earlier this week, and have painted the miniatures. Excellent set, good value for the money! :thumbsup:

Dumb question perhaps, but are there any plans to sell the minatures on their own, and/or expand on the range of plastics? I have a hankering for more mechs.

No current plans for either, but the desire for more plastics and these plastics on their own is not lost on management.

Cheers! I'll bide my time then.

Hell, just buy some more box sets. At IWM's prices (between 10 and 15 per mini) a 60 dollar box's 8 minis is only 7.50 each, as much as a 50% savings. Add in that you can then gift the rules/maps/standees/whatever to friends who don't yet play as an enticement to get into the game...well, you're saving a heck of a lot on top-quality minis and you're expanding the playerbase.

Except the boxed set doesn't have a Marauder, or a Highlander, or an Atlas, or an Archer, or a Hunchback, or...

You get the picture. :))

Interestingly enough they are are being sold by CGL for over MSRP on Amazon.

MoneyLovinOgre4Hire · « **Reply #523 on:** 26 March 2019, 01:41:16 »

They are not being sold by CGL on Amazon. "By Catalyst Game" is just an indication of the box sets' publisher. They're being sold by third-party scalpers.

You do know that when you go through the list of buying options, the vendor is clearly listed below the price, yes? None of the sellers are CGL

Catalyst only sells through their own web site and at conventions. They do not sell on Amazon.

Cause its a jungle out there!

Are the GoAC boxes back to being available?

Sartris · « **Reply #527 on:** 26 March 2019, 09:43:10 »

beginner box is in stock on the cgl store, the GoAC box is not.

Still waiting on Wayland Games to get stock :(

They are not, they just sold out in the last week or two so have, most likely, just started the reorder process.

Colt Ward · « **Reply #530 on:** 26 March 2019, 22:08:46 »

While I know its not CGL, but rather the distributors . . . I take stores not getting their pre-ordered allotment of GoAC to be a good sign. I had just hoped CGL had acted on it earlier.

Interesting, they don't show as sold out on the store. I just ordered my brother a copy of each set on Friday, and everything seemed to go through fine. Though as usual I'm waiting for the shipping notice...

Sartris · « **Reply #532 on:** 26 March 2019, 23:36:21 »

huh how about that. the GoAC box was sold out earlier today but is now back in stock

Geont · « **Reply #533 on:** 27 March 2019, 00:40:23 »

Got echo from my FLGS that my GoAC is box on the way and I should get it next week. Yay! :D

SteelRaven · « **Reply #534 on:** 28 March 2019, 14:37:39 »

Going to need to talk to my FLGS again. Going to double check the product number with my order as I'm having allot of trouble trusting Alliance after this long wait.

Q: On the mech sheet, what does (R) means when next to a weapon? (Like the battlemaster blr-1g)

rear-mounted. Shoots backwards, in the rear arc.

Hi there.

I have received my new GOAC and I have a problem, my box has two Shadow Hawks and zero Wolverines.

How can I solve this problem? Do you know an email address to explain the problem? Thanks!

I notice we have not had a report of a problem where someone got two Wolverines . . .

. . . its because two Wolverines are not a problem!
