I have continued to keep my eye on this game and they appear to have gone through some amazing production problems with the Chinese.

However...



... it appears launch is close.  :o

Well, they have a niche to fill that no-one else really has at this time (plastic neffs) so I suppose it might be worth the wait  :?

Let's see  :)

cheers

I'm pretty sure I will buy the box set... whenever that becomes possible.  ::)

I've also been eyeballing the Dystopian Wars stuff and may attempt to do some moding of the Leviathan nefs with pieces (like the big guns) from DW. Dunno well have to see what they look like and whether that is even possible.

This whole idea of "just take it out of the box and play" just doesn't seem cricket.  :D

Frightening new territory, huh?  o_o

I had the game on pre-order at The Warstore for seven months last year. I gave up and canceled it though.

But, if we can just open the box...

and play...

then what will I cuss about as I putter around with it?

I can see me at least risking £25 on a fleet box and possibly the £50 on the core

Well... you can forget that.

Looks like the game will begin retailing in September and official pre-orders are now available.

Price?

$100 for the core and $50 for the fleet boxes.  :o

$100 is what, about £65? so yes more expensive but to be fair not disastrously so (cannot believe a tight wad like myself just typed that ;D)

Personally, because I envision not only painting but also modding the ships, I was hoping the fleet boxes would be a bit cheaper.

Doesn't quite seem to jive that two fleet boxes equals a core box when you think about all the extra stuff (rules, dice, maps, etc) included in the core box.

I think it was a couple of years ago I got chided for the suggestion of 'vapor ware' because I hadn't been following the blog. And, yes, I had bought/downloaded several of the books.

It was less that I wasn't hearing anything forever, it was more the big splash in the first place.

Except, the author/producer, like all artists, probably doesn't want his beauties used with any other rule system. As I said, I was chided, and the lad sounded rather protective. Wouldn't be the first time such feelings derailed business sense...
