Bout damn time.
ReplyDeleteYes, I have high hopes for this one!
ReplyDeleteFinally I can start using Macross designs in Battletech again! Woohoo!
ReplyDeleteWasn't Palladium approached about a Robotech game like last year by a guy with pretty amazing prototype models? Didn't they turn him down claiming there was no interest in a Robotech miniatures game?
ReplyDeleteMan I'm all over this if it pans out. Love Robotech, especially macross.
ReplyDeleteyea, keep the KS pricing reasonable and I am in! I loved the game when I was a kid growing up. I would race home to watch it, to see it as a mini game would be great!
ReplyDeleteWould we see expansions like Southern Cross vs Masters? Invid vs REF?
I hope they are not messing this up, it will be a hard decision between this one and the Mecha Front 15mm game from Paulson Games.
ReplyDelete@ Janus: I guess they got yelled at quite a bit for that decision and c hanged their mind.
@ styx: That will depend on the success of the new game.
