I'll try this out... 1) Special Characters - specifically the Zentraedi characters that can use Regults, Grell and Pirion-Galarr (p.68). What happens when they are eliminated from a unit subject to the Reinforcement rule, can they return to play? Also, since they are in a mecha that cannot contribut...

If more than half of the original squad is still on the table at the end you get 0 vp. That would make record keeping difficult and cumbersome. Which ones are the originals and which ones are not? I stand by my original opinion because as it states on page 26: "They also do not count while det...

Just wanted to say 'Thanks' to all those who are making this a great forum to be apart of.

The painting guides are awesome, rules discussion is helpful, and overall helpfulness a good omen for a great future of this game.

Thanks!

Phaze

Those are awesome...Great Job!

Phaze

I would agree with the above interpretations.

Thanks!

I prefer Plastruct Plasti Weld. Orange bottle. Great stuff and helps hide the seams.

I am rather new to Rifts and the Palladium system (I got my first taste last year), but I am an old hat at RPGs, from the basic D&D Red box to Pathfinder and Mechwarrior. So while I don't have a history of Rifts specific related content, my general rpg gaming experience has changed significatly ...

Seriously though my dad bought the pink box set, I think it was the second iteration of the original DnD box, would have been around 78-79 I believe. I STILL have the blue Star Frontiers box PLUS a box of the miniatures my mom found antique shopping a couple of years back. And Gamma World is STILL ...

I am also a hobbiest and I get more satisfaction from putting an army on the table that I built and painted than just one I purchased. Its cool to have prepaints, it makes it quick to start up and play. I prefer to put some effort in a mini war game so when I hit the table, people come around and co...

I started playing D&D back when it was in the Red Box set and had the dice you had to color in with a crayon, late 70s I think. Spent my high school years running D&D, Star Frontiers and Gamma World. That's when I started to paint miniatures. I loved the Robotech series when it came out, and...

Does this character recieve two shock batons at no cost in a spartan or does he have to pay for the shock baton upgrade in addition to his character points? I would have to say 'no 'to the free shock batons. In his description he uses shock batons but nowhere does it say the Spartan gets the upgrad...

The rules book doesn't list a size for the Convoy vehicle to for this scenario. small matchbox car ? for this I was working on that very question in another post. I originally thought about mounting it on a 50mm base (same size as the Glaug base) but after some discussion (and a realization of the ...

Phaze

I could understand that idea, and could have made the same comment that Mike said earlier, but upon review of the rules there is no connection between the two. Hence the same rule applies to the Malcontents.

Good discussion!

Maximilian Jenius wrote:Because it states if you have a mecha with leadership on the board you roll 3d6 instead of 1d6.

Yup...ok. I just wanted it to be clear that was the case, and not that you rolled all of the initiative or theft attempts at the same time.

Carry on.

Maximilian Jenius wrote:The reason I asked is that it is pretty clear that the VP rule for regults is directly due to the zentraedi reinforcement ability. If you didn't do something like this you would have a VP farm everytime someone put a regult squad on the table.

How is it clear? I saw no connection.

Phaze

There would be no change to the rules. What Mike said: That is also why the Regults can be respawned by a Glaug. May or may not be true as the two rules are not linked in any way in the book. It may be an assumption (one that I might have made as well) on Mikes part that for game balance this was do...

TABLE SPACE! IMHO a good gaming store should be a place where people get together to game, not just buy product. Allow GMs to come in and game with their group. There was a store that I drove 25 miles to get to when ever I could, just to hang out. Now this caused me to spend more than I should have ...

Wow... Good luck with the paint schemes, those would be awesome!

Love it! Great work!

We had a great time! We played 5 of the 6 games scheduled (partly because I had a long conversation with several people about the game that didn't have time to play but stood and talked to me for 40 minutes...lol). We even had Batman show up and play Robotech Tactics and even stick around for a game...

Hell, I'm planning to sell some of my stuff off when it arrives. I don't need 27 VT's or 72 Battlepods, etc. WHAT!?? WHY NOT?!!! I need Legions! 4.8 million ships of Battlepods for the great Invasion of Earth! 72 just won't be enough! AHHHHHHH! <<whimper>> Sorry...Meds all out of whack.

Edit note... Yup...4 glaugs in a 300pt army is possible -- 4 recon squads, 280 pts.

Phaze

Nice move! Didn't think of the Body Block. I really haven't seen that kind of scenario possible. Usually the Glaug is wrapped up out of LOS or surrounded just to stop the Crossfire gambit because of the speed thing you just mentioned. You would have to dwindle the pods down to get access to it, but ...

Phaze

If killing the glaug awards full victory points for the entire squad it is instantly exploitable by players in a competition environment. People will just kill glaugs and never go for the surrounding pods. I would not want to play zentradi in a tournament if this was the case as the UEDF player doe...

Phaze

Keep in mind this is for VP Scenarios ONLY. Other scenarios do not use VPs and are objective based. In these other scenarios, a pod can hold onto an objective or discover 'Loot' and haul it away, making them a whole lot of players on a football field... 15 yard penalty for too many players on the fi...

Phaze

Not only an Attack squad, but also a Attrition squad with a Glaug attached as a special. Artillery and scouts do not have Life is Cheap...which brings up further scenarios. You have an Attack squad and two option cards...a scout and light artillery. Total (80+15+25) = 120 points or 12 VPs. So you ha...

Phaze

Remember... VPs are what you destroy, not what you have at the end of the game. Units of full battle pods and no Glaug calculate thier victory points just as any other squad even with Life is Cheap. If the unit started with a Glaug (such as a Attack Squad or Glaug added to an Attrition squad), the p...

Phaze I would put it on a smaller base personally but I wanted to say I really appreciate this as a prospective tournament player. Actually, it was your original post that got me thinking.

Phaze

The rules don't clarify the base size or mini to use, just that both parties agree that the unit is ok to play with. This leaves it wide open, which is fine for pickup games. But for a tournament this will have nailed down because of other issues such as HtH combat and Base to Base contact with a un...

Ok...So I got a copy of the rules when I ran the Games at Gencon, and there are pictures of the rules out there. It’s time to bring a serious discussion of what this elusive Convoy Vehicle should be and how it should be modeled. For playing a pickup game at your FLGS, the vehicles can be agreed upon...

I sincerely hope that those that are no longer interested move on to things they do enjoy.

You could have the Main take the full force, then half damage (only if it is a HE round) spread out randomly to the extremities in groups of two or three. Say, if half damage is 15 MDC, then spread 5 groups of 3 MDC randomly. A hit table should not be that difficult to determine based on size and ch...
