Well that was quick!

I have a question tough. It seems weird to me that a gang with Mob would be a 2 point backup rather then a 1 point, since they have literally no advantage over taking a swarm gang at 2 points? For those with dominion that is. I am happy so see gangs in the backup table now, very nice.

Uh-oh, I didn't notice that. Are Mob gangs now 2 points Dave or is that just a small oversight?

Drats! ... errr... Yes, I meant to do that. You see... umm... it works like this... You pay two Backup points to hire them, but then they refund 1 Backup point back to you... because it's a Mob... and stuff. Perfectly reasonable.

Okay, its a fair cop. The Backup point cost to hire a Gang/Mob from the Minions table should only be 1 -- not 2.

It's not my fault!  ;D

I really like the idea of optional rules for different settings, but I don't know if I'll find additional information for me, I have the other four books of PA so I'm not sure if it's a book for me  o_o

You fool!!! You need it!! How can be someone so dumb?

 lol lol lol lol

I've just bought it and a after a first read I must say it's a great book for people who have the other books.

Having the perks and abilities altogether it's quite usefull, the change in some abilities seems right (I've always thought that "hardened veteran" was a bit too powerful) and the optional rules for new settings and weapons seem to keep the spirit of the game.

I'm afraid that one was done on my own initiative! Of course, I don't really have much insight into the long term plans for figures, so you never know what Dave might have in mind.

Well I certainly don't, but you're better off asking Dave than me! Not that there isn't room for more than one pulpy Nazi officer miniature.  lol

If I might be permitted a wee suggestion:

How about a Blue Max, instead of a Knight's Cross?







Twould rather backdate said Teutonic Titan to a hero of The Great War,
& not necessarily a Nazi...

In addition to providing a far wide palette of tunics to adorn,
tis perfectly acceptable from the 19teens through post-2nd World War,
thus Even More Pulpy, like my favourite fruit beverage.



Splendid artwork Herr Framson!!
