Agis,

Are you adding flyer rules in sci-Fi? Just asking as these are quite nice but I need an excuse to buy them:

Hi Tim, the book will included rules for VTOLs; everything faster is represented in a more abstract way by Airstrikes.

But it is easy enough to just say that the Dust flyers are capable of slowing down to Helicopterlike movement, or?
This is pulp superscience after all!

agis,
I know you hate it (I would) but it is time to release it, not talk about it...

please...

Unfortunately the book is not yet ready to be released.

Lots of new rules implemented but right now only one army list (Low Tech Humanoid - basically todays average tech level).

I will adress the "what and when" is planned over the next weekends.

I hope. Is there a chance to get a short overview what will change compared to ViDe:WW2??? And what kind of things I can use for it.

I like the sound if this. It sounds a little bit like what I thought Beyond the Gates of Anteres might have been in terms of allowing for creativity.

Any news???

Well, where is Planetfall standing at the moment?

The core rules are done.

I added a lot of new stuff to the WW II and Gear Krieg rules. Best thing most of these rules can also be used in any of the other books! Biggest rule addition are Command Points.
Command Points (CPs) are an abstract game method of representing experience, tactical awareness, pre-battle planning and Force Commanders’ capabilities on the gaming table. CPs are used by the player to re-roll dice or use special actions. Each player has a number of Command Points equal to the Leadership of the model with the highest Leadership Characteristic statistic in his force.
CPs are also used to allow special actions like Overwatch and Command. You may also spend 3 CPs to give an infantry unit a 4th action.

I also fleshed out additional Abilities (like Alert, Combat Drugs, ECM, Size and Single Minded) and Features (AA, AA Only, Guided, Haywire, Minimum Range, Laser etc.).
Vehicles got the new Hover movement mode and a whole new section cover VTOLs and other Helicopter like Air Units. New Special Properties are also added (Air Transport, Night Vision, walker rules).
The book will also include several force lists, humanoids low, mid and high tech lists, Aliens and Robots.

To be brutally honest I am behind my own schedule with Planetfall;

I got again a huge additional real life ™ workload (A very important IT project was in danger of failing and my company assembled a taskforce to “save the day”. Unfortunately they included me in the TF.).

We are all spare time-Generals, so it is ok. I would be angry, if it is a big company. And the WWII-Stuff was absolut fast released. Hope you get more time after this TF-Thing.
