I was pretty disappointed in myself that I didn’t purchase at least one Retaliation pack. The Game of Armored Combat set is the only intro box I don’t have at least two copies of yet.

I got a retaliation box in wave 1 and wound up adding a second to wave 2 just to get some more of those wonderful minis.

I wish I did this too. Especially with the more exciting (to me) rec guide variants.

It was a KS (and some conventions I’ve heard) exclusive thing. 10 mechs for $40, a set of AGoAC and Beginners Box.

It was one of the add-ons during the Kickstarter. Contained all of the minis from the Beginner Box and AGoAC box.

Is the MegaMat/BFM going to get a full retail release or will it be a Catalyst Store exclusive?

ah! thanks! I didn't do any of the add ons (was trying to keep the credit card bill manageable, you know how it is) and I didn't see it in the black friday stuff!

appreciate it!

Tamar Rising is on my radar.  It's blipping.  The boat is getting closer to harbor...

Any news on when we get to kill the horses?

I'm hoping for it just as you are.  New BattleTech is about to happen any week now.

Just for some expectation-setting here: I'm checking warehouse receiving notices closely, have been for awhile, and am eager to pin down a street date. Once we have that date, I'll be shouting it from the mountaintops. This will not be a surprise release, unless it's over my dead body.

Bonus question: will there be anything record sheet wise related to the Dragoon assault star for record sheets? I’m pulling My hair out tracking down what record sheet pack has what.

Pretty sure all the minis have been in RecGuides so far . . . the Annihilator is the only one missing as of now . . . for now . . .

Depends on what you mean by "all the minis," right?  I'm curious about a rec guide Stalker, that we haven't yet seen....

He was talking about the Dragoons pack, and you knew the answer was to his question.  The Timberwolf, Blackjack, Rifleman, and Archer have all been in RecGuides so far and since KS plastic mechs have been in the RecGuides there is a very good chance it would appear in the remaining issues.  Like say the one before the supposed Dec 15th release date which would be next week's release.

The ANH-5W, Archer C2 and Blackjack C don't seem to exist in any product besides the Alpha strike cards in the Dragoons pack, much less there being record sheets for them

Thought we were told the mechs in the box were established models- the Blackjack being the BJ-2 with the ERLLs & bunch of SRM2s.

The AS cards have the 3050s stats as well as ilkhan era ones.  Its the second set that are puzzling the players, as the actual stats haven't been released yet.

ok. Whew. Last orders are placed until I paint everything. That's 6 different factions, 145 units. Firm goal, no more purchases until those units are painted, decaled, based, and sealed. (Purchases of miniatures of course..I'm not completely insane).

But I just realized some of those units need vehicle support.....No..must resist......

I am creeping ever closer to caving and buying fighters. I now have two Shilones and the aero battlemat will arrive at my house before Christmas.

While not a CGL project (I think) Creative Juggernaut (the resin StormCrow and Black Knight people) released their first wave of textured ‘biome’ hex bases, Badlands and Lunar bases.

Same: two Shilones and a single Kirghiz are the start of an Aerospace Star. I have a vehicle Trinary but more than half are ClickTech scale because I made a mistake.

Mechs first, then Elementals, and MAYBE I’ll fill out my support later.

Yeah, I'm due to buy some more aerospace assets as well. I thought at one point I'd stick with micro Aerospace wings to keep things at capital scale, but the sneaky bastards gave me a freebie.

I'm going to end up with six Shilones once my store order gets here.  Haven't figured out whether they're all going in one squadron, or if pairs are going in separate units.
