There was an issue with the final product that delayed it (my fault), and then we decided to nudge it until Friday (tomorrow) to give Tuesday’s announcement some room.

Now Available - Spotlight On: Holt's Hilltoppers

Born in the fires of Operation: GUERRERO, Holt’s Hilltoppers took on missions from the Periphery to the Chaos March, displaying grit and tenacity to rival any famed mercenary command.

Tiring of the vagabond life, the Hilltoppers found a new home outside the boundaries of the Inner Sphere. But in the Fronc Reaches, safety is always in short supply.

Hi, I've been working with Cubby and others on various announcements and distribution. My understanding is that we don't control international distribution, once it hits distribution through PSI it's available to anyone that orders the product. Unless I'm mistaken there aren't separate release dates for international markets, it's all dependent on when their orders are received.

That all being said, if I'm mistaken (definitely not out of the question, this is all inferring at this point) I'll gladly edit and make updates.

Cheers for the reply, hopefully see them soon(ish) then. :thumbsup:

There's an open map pack at MechCon. Have pictures, will try to upload later. Double sided.

Foohills 1&2
Forward base
Streams. This one has crossing points that are Level 0 water, so it isn't a deathtrap for lights.
Open Terrain 2&3. Note these aren't the same as the old 'open terrain' maps, and despite the name have notable amounts of hills and woods
River Com Center
Lakes
Rolling hills 1,2,3
Woodland

MSRP is 30 usd, so only arms, no legs needed.

Bad news - available Feb - March, according to overheard rumours. Reason given was distributor politics/optimization

Thanks for sharing! I’ve been looking forward to this

Are we ever going to get Shattered Fortress released in Dead Tree? Or is that product still living only in the land of myth, as it has for the last five years?

Are TPTB still claiming 2018, as the website says? I mean, come on! It was availible in Dead Tree @ GENCON..... four months ago! What the ....world.... is the ~~holdup~~ excuse THIS time?

From the floor of MechCon: here's a closer look at Map Pack: Grasslands. The product is at the printer now, and is due out in March.

Wow look at that amazing city and all of that amazing amazing! That's amazing guys! … Insert different adjective here! I'm really impressed!

Colt Ward · « **Reply #1156 on:** 02 December 2018, 22:06:36 »

Not a city, more like a FOB

Adrian Gideon · « **Reply #1157 on:** 02 December 2018, 22:24:17 »

Exactly.

Whatever you call it, it looks great. I've got the WWE maps printed out and their quality was outstanding. Can't wait to get my hands on these! :drool:

NeonKnight · « **Reply #1159 on:** 02 December 2018, 22:58:26 »

So my only choice is to trust the people that I have heard and read person after person say "don't buy direct from CGL - I ordered "X" three years ago and never got it?"

Sigh.

Expand the brand! But boycott Amazon!

Buy it from your local game store.
Or ask Amazon.
Or buy it from CGL.
You know what doesn’t work? Screaming at people on the forum. We’re not a store.

I noticed this on the CGL store site "RECORD SHEET: TOTAL WARFARE STYLE: 3060 UNABRIDGED"
IS this new or just a reissue??

Adrian Gideon · « **Reply #1163 on:** 03 December 2018, 07:27:01 »

CGL has a distributor. It’s up to the retail store to order from the distributor. Amazon likes to throw its weight around and demand special treatment. It can order any product it wants (AFAIK), and eventually it does. But CGL can’t make Amazon list something, and last I heard (many years ago now), GL refuses to make a special deal for Amazon undercutting local game stores. So Amazon will get it whenever it decides to order it.

Sartris · « **Reply #1166 on:** 03 December 2018, 08:53:31 »

Fwiw I’ve ordered physical product from the cgl store half a dozen times since the migration and have always gotten my stuff

Many, many long moons ago, Adam Jury noted that Amazon sold about the volume of two large gaming stores and their discount pricing did not make the other sellers very happy.

SteelRaven · « **Reply #1168 on:** 03 December 2018, 10:28:16 »

While Amazon is super convenient, I have grown tiered of their business practices and rather throw my money at friendly local game shop.

I was just wondering because when you put the product in order on the CGL Store site RS 3060 is right at the front.
