[I am Belch II]

Thank you very much for all the hard work you put in. More info than just being there live.

[Alex Keller]

Yes, thank you Lorcan!

--Edge point tokens with triggerable edge ability cards.  Because Aces is meant to be co-op, players will have a small number of units so you can’t

So you "Can't" What?

So you "Can't" What?   

Even.

So you "Can't" What?   

Ugh, I thought I'd gone back and filled in all the bits I had to skip.  Fixed now, the corrected text is:

Edge point tokens with triggerable edge ability cards.  Because Aces is meant to be co-op, players will have a small number of units and you’re less likely to have one or two highly elite pilots supported by a larger number of less skilled ones.  To make the character pilots into heroes they’ll have one or more edge abilities.

With them being prominently featured in the livestream, I wonder if CGL has decided to push the emplacement boxes further up the line for production. I think they were originally planning for release in’26 or ‘27. I don’t have a screenshot of the spreadsheet in front of me. It would make sense to release them around the time they release the Aces box if they either feature in some scenarios or just to provide more terrain pieces for them.

[Centurion03]

Is there any chance that we get ilKhan's Eyes Only this side of the year still?

[Teejay75]

I believe that it was announced on a TN that it was being pushed back to a January release.

[Fat Guy]

The 15th of January was the date given.

They have been confirmed as being moved a head, but the original plan had them as Q3 2025 so its only by a few months. The Kerenskycon list only went to mid 2026 (Unless there was no plan to release minis for a year from April 2026 to May 2027)

After Eyes Only that feels like a good time to slow down and just have a setting for awhile. I am much more excited for that one than the 5 years after FM3145 and 3 after shattered fortress.

Cool, Thanks!

It would be nice to see the novels drive the story forward with sourcebooks following. I remember that being the plan at one point in time.


That would also progress the timeline at a bit slower pace while still giving us new content.
