Warships are also ready.

Again, wow.

I've never done any aerospace stuff but I must admit that some Star League era engagements sound fun.

Next To Do: Battle Armor, DropShips.  Misc book units.

Roles: 3030, 3055, 3058, 3075, 3145 (except NTNU).
Next to Do: 3060 is being worked on.

(Just to be clear, there's a whole team working on these.  I'm keeping the overall spreadsheet, so I know the status of the overall work *grin*).

Just for context, can we see what the MUL cards for Warships look like?

They're the one that I'm interested in as we don't really have a template for what the cards should look like with the whole 4 arcs and 4 weapon types thing.

I'm a bit curious myself.

Also, what publication is your avatar from, Cambo? I really like that shot of the Leopard.

I so want to be done with this and move on to the next project.  I've got 8 inner sphere battle armor done.  How about I do Elementals and then call it done? :)

Add all XTRs to the done list for AS stats (with the same disclaimer as the list above).
Battle Armor are in progress.  And DropShips/Small Craft.
Work has begun on a warship card.

Is the plan to finish everything before any updates or will they post the mechs once they are done?

Wow. What a coinkydink that you guys are going live with the update soon as those hundreds of AS Companions are flying to their new homes.

I swear it's like you guys planned it that way.

A huge thank you to everyone involved for all of their hard work in making that happen!  Between making custom cards and having access to a fully updated MUL to AS Companion standards you guys are incredible.  THANK YOU!

 . . . now I just need to get a copy of the Alpha Strike Companion . . . *waiting patiently for hard copies to hit store shelves*

It certainly appears so for ground units. The AS7-D is no longer one of the best buys in AS and has rear firing weapons on its card  :)

I'm going to revamp my army lists...

Yall noticed the update before I even woke up this morning :).

Yeah, cards got updated last night.  We're still working on how to import the data for the 5 and 6 man battle armor squads.  WarShips are waiting on the same and for a card to be made (still early in working on that card).  And there's apparently an issue with the Role not showing up on the card.
Those are being worked on, but I don't have an ETA or anything.  Other than I think Battle Armor and Roles are more likely to be "soon" and Warship cards are likely to be "later".

It appears that some of the battle armor went up in damage.
The sloth Battle Armor went from 2/2/0 to 3/3/0 is that right?

Two Small Lasers = .6 damage. 
.6 * Troop Factor of 3.5 =  2.1
rounds up to 3.

The rules for converting Battle Armor changed in the Alpha Strike Companion.

Just more sanity checking....

Looking at the Kirghiz Prime.... shouldn't it also have an e range bracket of 2?  Then again the card doesn't appear to have a location for e damage values - none of the aerospace fighters I've looked at do....  :-\

I anxiously await to see what the Warship cards will look like  :D

Yeah, the data is there, the card isn't switching to the aerospace card.  Pinging our wizard..

As the OP of this thread, can I say a massive thank you to you and the MUL team for putting these together for us fans.  Just reading through the conversion and points rules in the ASC just gives an indication of what you have been through to put this all together and in a relatively short space of time.

Huge round of applause for the teamwork involved and another well done. O0 ;D
