Goodness, Amazon approved my new book far faster than any of my previous books!

Congrats, how many are you up to now?

Doc Swift · « **Reply #301 on:** 01 November 2022, 07:21:56 »

This is the sixth print book. There are eight, counting the two kindle-only novellas.

I actually flew the sunburst in a BattleFace game this last weekend.

Lessons learned:

1: Arondights are scary.

2: If the Arondights are nasty, Conquistadors are downright obscene. And that's the base model, not the Blockade Runner.

3: It don't matter how small the birds are, all fighter strikes hurt.

Nice.

Read the review thread, really good stuff.

How does BattleFace compare to Aerotech(TW) rules for speed & simplicity?

Weirdo · « **Reply #306 on:** 06 November 2022, 12:46:33 »

Much like Alpha Strike, it plays much faster than TW, while still keeping the overall feel of the game.

Just curious, Happy Birthday to my fellow Marines lurking here on this part of the boards.

I was lurking elsewhere. Semper Fi

Despite my eternal antipathy, towards the festive season. I hope you all, have a nice one.

Nothing like years in retail, to give you a certain distaste :p

Doc Swift · « **Reply #310 on:** 13 December 2022, 11:33:24 »

Same, and for the same reason.

Speaking of holiday retail music, I was at a big box store today (Dayquil as I'm miserable with a cold), and heard a cover of "Walking in a Winter Wonderland" in what I thought was Spanish. Tune was recognizable, but the lyrics were just out there.

Weirdo · « **Reply #312 on:** 18 December 2022, 12:18:14 »

My favorite version of that is "Walkers in a Winter Wonderland".

I'm so torn as to weather I should think that is for "The Walking Dead", "Game of Thrones", or "Empire Strikes Back".
Regardless I feel like there could be some crazy lyrics in there.

Weirdo · « **Reply #314 on:** 18 December 2022, 14:32:20 »

Well, the version I know was for Empire Strikes Back. :)

Dominions Divided comes out this month (as of the last date I saw)! Down with the godless Kuritans! To New Avalon!

The Dragon can't be that much powerful now that they have multiple Clan borders to deal with

Now I know a release date, the waiting is intolerable. I have high hopes, for the Federation to show it's enemies the folly
of messing with it.

Rorke · « **Reply #325 on:** 27 January 2023, 15:49:31 »

Dominions Divided, finally.

I will not spoil. Suffice it to say, I'm fairly pleased with the shape of matters. Just wish we'd not had to wait
such a long time for it.

Decoy · « **Reply #326 on:** 27 January 2023, 16:49:11 »

It didn't change my opinion of anything.

Satisfying for me would have been to metaphorically slam the Combine's arm down and break their elbow. This feels like everyone's favorite gladiator clone was just Yori's errand boy and killed off some pests for her. There was more on New Avalon than I thought...but I thought that Yori would strip all the equipment from the forces on New Avalon and issue them bokken. Battles are not wars. If anyone says the Federated Suns won this... Just imagine if the US lost Washington and Idaho and recovered Washington DC.

Also, yes, we get it. Alex is worthless. The fact that every Capellan March character takes time to describe their very low opinion of Alex is a bit overkill, doncha think? I get it, we're not supposed to be sad for Alex when he accidently slips on soap and falls into a pile of bayonettes, we're supposed to be sad for Kym. I won't unless you do anything interesting with it. If Kym were to take the Capellan March against Julian in an act of revenge, then I might be interested. Otherwise...

Another conflict the Federated Suns can't win is incoming. Color me not excited. If something along the lines of the events of 6/4/42 were to happen, I'd be interested. That's likely not going to happen. So yeah. Not excited.

Ghost Bear fans, if you wanted screen time, this is what you got to do. Atleast you get territory out of it at the end.

Rorke · « **Reply #327 on:** 27 January 2023, 17:31:09 »

It might be me, but Alex had an interesting profile in Interstellar Players. Might yet
see the guy redeemed.

I am not so sure about the future, and what it holds. But I'll hold to my cautious
optimism, we might be about to sit quietly for a spell and recover somewhat. After
all the Dracs are equally battered, but they didn't get a huge morale boost or numerous
important worlds back.

I haven't paint minis in years but i couldn't resist the company pack of urbanmechs. now to figure out what to do with them.

Arkansas Warrior · « **Reply #329 on:** 18 February 2023, 18:49:19 »

Make them some planetary noble’s household guard. His great-grandfather bought a ton of Liao salvage after the 4SW (what? It was cheap!) assembled a full company of UrbanMechs for his retainers.
