Clan Invasion Kickstarter Discussion 5, Green Eyeshade Edition

[Crackerb0x]

Is it just me, or is Discord not working?

During yesterday (Saturday) Discord was down for everybody for a few hours, but everything seems to now be working again. Back to your regularly scheduled Kickstarter Mech discussions!

Is Christmas just plain moved to March? I'm still entirely too excited about all of this.

Pick up a couple of Hetzers to go with the Urbies, in a "police action" lance. Paint them black & white for added verisimilitude.

Should add a Firestarter and maybe a Wasp or Stinger to that lance

Even when it is up it doesn't work for me. All the negatives of IRC without any of the channel commands

[Drewbacca]

HELLLLLP!!! I can't remember how to download the books that are available to backers.

[Daryk]

They're in the CGL store, and you have to do them literally one at a time, using the code they e-mailed you after you closed the pledge manager.

[Drewbacca]

Funny, I don't see a code.

It's up for me now, but it was down this morning, at least on my desktop.  It seemed to be working consistently on my ipad, but no one has posted there since yesterday.

Update:
Hostiles have been removed from Discord.  It's safe to return.

[Drewbacca]

Hostiles?

[jimdigris]

It will make more sense if you login there.

[Drewbacca]

Kind of afraid to now☺

There’s a official BT discord?

[Wolf72]

There’s a official BT discord?

pretty sure, fan made.

[MoneyLovinOgre4Hire]

If it were official, there ought to be a link to it on the boards.

[Scotty]

If it's fan made it isn't official.

[MoneyLovinOgre4Hire]

Sorry, I phrased that poorly.  I meant that if it were an official Discord server, there would probably be a link to it on the boards or on Catalyst's homepage.  The fact that there isn't is evidence it's fan made rather than official.

Let me help you:

It's not an official CGL platform, and is not part of my communications planning.

In the future, you can just go to https://status.discordapp.com/ to check on the status of discord servers.

[jimdigris]

I went there.  They didn't seem to be aware of the problem.

So, any news on where to put our ideas for the canon characters we will be bringing into existence?

[Drewbacca]

I am holding out hope that they make some of these items available later. My wife will literally kill me if I order anything else, but my 10-year-old son would like the Urbie plushie and we are expecting our fourth kid in February he could share it with.

Not yet. It's an active discussion, more to come. Stay tuned.

I think they said they are going to re-open when Wave 2 is being prepared, so its possible.  I let me FLGS know I wanted certain things which lets me put off paying for them until March or whenever they get here- you might check with any of your local stores that carry BT.

[Wrangler]

I've not kept up with news about the Kickstart.  Was the Marauder II dropped from minis their doing?

[Sartris]

no

[Lorcan Nagle]

It's in the Direct Fire lance with the Atlas, Orion and Crusader

None of my local stores carry BT.  :(

[Bedwyr]

None of my local stores carry BT.  :(

Will they take orders? My two stores would, but they seem to have trouble given the mix of distributors they use. One store is enthusiastic about helping; the other is "Oh CGL" <eye-roll>. Bad previous experiences, I guess. Even though they had an active BT group playing every other Sunday.

[Colt Ward]

Okay, I just looked at the latest update . . . dice bags are fine, but the map work . . . I remember when the maker posted his photos and some process stuff down in the Terrain subforum- its awesome to see his work get incorporated as the Kozice Valley.  Its absolutely a ambush for Clan mechs, because of the obstructions . . . not sure a Clan force could win without JJs, and I think it will also support the ComGuard's conventional forces.

[BirdofPrey]

Ableman22 is on the map team now?
Nice
