Thanks, was that AS box and the new counter pack together?

The counter pack includes the same punchboard sheets as the AS box (and buildings), plus three new ones.

Y’know, that is a very good point. If I have to be modly about oversized images I’ll try to include the corrective code for scaling the image.

It’s one of the BB code things that seems to vary just enough between various sites to be a real pain!

Alrighty then!

This is all the “flat” terrain in the pack, with a few trees and buildings for scale (it comes with a full set of the ones found in the Starter Set). I would definitely go for two copies at least for a table this size, but more counters and a second set of the reference sheets is well worth it.

*snip*

Thank you very much, good ser.

I like what I see on that table. Nice variety in terrain templates, I dig the two rulers for measuring attack distance. What is the max distance on those? 10 or 12 inches?

I think that another set of cards with roads and forest templates would have been a better option, instead of the buildings from the Alpha Strike box set, with those buildings being sold separately as another terrain pack.

Cubby thanks for the update.
Will there be new soursеbooks coming out in the near future? Or a pause during the kickstarter?  And what about the novels?

We're due for another issue of Shrapnel next week, assuming they continue to come out on the 15th like they have been.

Will any of these new Force Packs/plushies/maps be available as optional purchasable extras during the Kickstarter?

No one?  :(

Last time we were given an answer to a similar question it was stated that it would be unlikely that any products available at retail or set to be going to retail before fulfillment will be available during the Kickstarter. That might have changed since then but it is probably best to assume the answer is going to be no.

IIRC it was confirmed that the current batch of exclusive forcepacks won't be available via the Kickstarter even if their exclusivity period will be finished by the time it ships.

A while back, there were pics taken from I think Kerenskycon that gave us the broad-strokes gist of how COMMAND plays.

Near-ish. Focus is on the Kickstarter right now. We still have a pipeline beyond that, don't worry.

Next large piece of fiction is Craig Reed's novel length "Elements of Duty vol. 3: Honor," about CHH. More to come after that.

As I've said at least four times now, I realize we need to update the Coming Releases page and what the path ahead looks like. It's an issue of adjusting the production calendar, which we're due to meet about tomorrow. Once that's done, and with a week or two to prep things, I should be able to put an update out.

Just so's no one thinks that we're not working on anything...

Last time we were given an answer to a similar question it was stated that it would be unlikely that any products available at retail or set to be going to retail before fulfillment will be available during the Kickstarter. That might have changed since then but it is probably best to assume the answer is going to be no.

Checking, should have more within a day or so.

I've added those to my list to ask about at tomorrow's meeting. I'd love to get them scheduled somewhere. They've been sort of, kind of in development in the background for awhile, but I think at least Command might be close?

I just figured he looked at a Unseen and was taken down by CGL's Compliance Nekekami Team.

Called away to Castle Job for an actual meeting. My fault, I've edited the previous post. Nothing revelatory.
