Nah, it's pretty obvious that the game was always intended to be one-and-done and Ninja Division clearly knew it... The game started on Macross instead of Shadow Chronicles like the RPG did to maximize the initial take, it was built to a scale that conveniently prevented the game from being continu...

Mike1975

This whole thing is like going to a gaming convention. You go to play your something like Malifaux, all your painted and ready minis in hand but the few reps there decided that they were going to play D and D instead because they were not familiar or comfortable with the rules for Malifaux and the m...

Mike1975

I will have to agree. If it goes beyond 2017, this is done. It might even been done already. But they do need to give the news, wither bad or good, were they have been, etc. And just so you all know, I still want this to continue. I want Southern Cross, Invid Invasion, and Sentinels. I want it all!...

Mike1975

Sorry for being cynical, but if you expect some free materials of any type this is the wrong place to look. If you want to play with some updated stuff, you'll have to look outside of the PB/RRT world for it.

Mike1975

Not a matter of loud but constant effort to even get them to put in what little effort they were willing to while mike and were constantly trying to keep the game relevant and alive. Then they took it and just arbitrarily changed a few things just because they wanted things to have the "cool&q...

Mike1975

Considering the fact that even the simplest of things such as a cheat sheet or Force Orgs that was given to them, under the assumption that they should be done up with PB's standard TM and Pics and more plastered on them, things that occupied only a single sheet or just a few, and was told that they...

The Artillery Pods needed tweeking to make them viable. The "Official" costs are way too high. You can find more on the Robotech Wikia page. Light Artillery Pod Squad 20 Points instead of 25. They have a 5 point missile upgrade that adds Overwhelming and increases the missiles to 12 damag...

Mike1975

Well, I made a list of idea SEVERAL times and sent it to PB. Some of these I did myself. Sorry if this seems a bit slapped together. This was from some stuff I sent over to think on back in later 2014....... 1. Demo Rules, there have been a lot of talk on the importance of the rules and releasing th...

Mike1975

There is also a Diorama contest for December with a few VF's (2 in each mode) and Battlepods (6) as prizes over on the RRT Facebook page. I might be able to add something more in. I'll need to check.

Mike1975

See the Tired of Waiting thread....I have way to convert units over.

Mike1975

For those that might be tired of waiting on wave 2 we fans have been working on a few things. First several units from Macross have been converted over for use in RRT and we are slowly working on more and more. Second, with the fixed squadron formations and all I find RRT limiting. I have a ton on o...

Mike1975

A. Yes, limited to 1 attack.

B. Yes

Mike1975

I would add 2 clarifications.... #1 • A mecha defending against enemy mecha that is struck by one or more weapon systems at once can spend 1CP per weapon system to Dodge them. The defending mecha may choose which weapon systems that struck it to Dodge—all, some, or none. I would say this, the wordin...

Mike1975

I googled and found a really good one page chart on a website (maybe Dakka or something). We used it for the tournament at Adepticon. I'll see if I can find the link. Here it is: m I built my first few army lists using the freeware from Battlescribe. They have datafiles for RobTacts. I've seen anot...

Mike1975

Present rules only limit the Squadron to 1 Special. I don't remember any limitation of one Glaug per Squadron. So RAW I would say you could have an Attack Squadron and add an Elite Glaug and in the end have 2 in your squadron. Unless I'm missing something in the rules.

Mike1975

Updated it with one with a few more slides...still a WIP

Mike1975

Keep the faith Patack....we have been doing some discussion and I've been working on examples using different suggestions. You can find my WIP here.

I agree that it is broken, we are looking for the simplest fix that will also help us resolve blast faster.

Mike1975

Leadership of 3, it's the total.

These might help too

Mike1975

father, there are no actual points for the figs in the book. that should be for converting your rpg characters or making your own. the points for playing just a straight up game are on the cards so don't lose them or you're screwed. Wow. So unlike every other game out there, the points are in the b...

Mike1975

Very true Mike. Having some experience being a booth worker at Gencon and the like (before returning to the UK and working several booths at several local UK cons) and the most important thing is generating buzz and hype for the product, and you do that by engaging the audience. Obviously I wasn't ...

Mike1975

Palladium NEEDS to play and learn and engage with RRT and RRT players and not treat it like another feather in their caps.

Mike1975

on the topic of GHQ doing scifi.. m At this time we don't have plans to get into sci-fi. We get requests for it pretty regularly. As it is, we are already spread pretty thin with all of the historical lines that we have. Does anyone remember all of the hub-bub from some long-time customers when we ...

They are all pewter. No plastics.

Mike1975

Hello! I had a question regarding the spending of command points to dodge when being attacked simultaneously by units in a close formation. The rule book states that all units firing in close formation must be doing so simultaneously, instead of individually. So if three regults in close formation ...

Mike1975

what i mean is that they should have ninja division design them and that chinese company produce them. bringing in a 4th company would just makes things harder. I gotta disagree with you here. GHQ already has experience with similar stuff, ND does not. The only problem is setting up new agreements,...

Mike1975

Is this a little academic? Unless the license is expanded will GHQ be able to produce Macross/Robotech vehicles. There also is the question of pricing and supply. GHQ are in the upper tier for models in the scale (albeit they are lovely models) there are cheaper solutions out there, so willl there ...

It might be simple persepctive because it dies fit the art although the angle does look funky

Mike1975

Ok, I agree, I think normal Anti-Missile should be allowed for the target and a -1 modifier for the rest and that targeting the ground should not be allowed, but that's just me. Thanks for sharing.

Mike1975

It seems from the description that you did not allow each unit under the blast to roll a D6 for Anti-Missile correct? If so that is one of the problems. If you have 4 blast markers you roll for all the units under each marker resolving each marker as a separate attack. That means 4 blast markers, 4 ...

Mike1975

If you look further at the H-T-H rules the "Engaged in hand to hand combat" section states once the mecha are in b2b contact they are considered to be engaged. And the "Aircraft" rule states that mecha with the aircraft rule can never be engaged. Yes the first paragraph says you...

Mike1975

I think it is more of a case of playtesters never seeing the final rules and playing with the intent and then RPG writers trying to check rules for minis games that they are unfamiliar with. Unfortunate but there it is. Either way with a working FAQ that can be updated hopefully things link Blast an...

Mike1975

I agree with what you are reading and asking. However, I think the definition of Aircraft implies that they cannot be attacked in hand-to-hand combat. It specifically says that they are 'never considered engaged' and then makes some unnecessary statement about movement which really implies that thi...

Mike1975

I sent corrections/suggestions on this back last year in September to PB and unfortunately they did not take it into account when they did the FAQ. Correction/Modification Aircraft– A mecha with the Aircraft ability may only make a single turn of up to 90 degrees to the left or the right before it b...

Mike1975

Which is why I posted all this in my forums and asked for opinions. I agree with you Patack. What do I know though? I've only played 4 games using Blast and was not happy with how it worked in any of them.... Official FAQ How does the missiles with the blast trait determine the attack roll? Does it ...

Mike1975

Edit for Stats and Conversions Note these were made before the official rules were released so they are a bit out of date but close enough for what you are doing. Most of the "Drone" mecha for the Masters are to give them flavor and taken from the "Return of the Masters" RPG book.

Mike1975

Also Roll with impact is round down with a minimum of 1....

Mike1975

Try this .... missiles must hit a target and if they do not exceed the DF of units under the blast they do no damage to those units but those units can still roll anti-missile. So if you shoot a Spartan (DF 6) next to a Mac II (DF 7) and only roll high enough to hit the 6 then the Glaug will not be ...

Mike1975

Exactly the reason to have these arguments now. PB has no Tournament rules. The rules need to be effective and clean initially so that there is little to no reason to change them later. I honestly do not think these latest Blast rules were well thought out to the full logical conclusion and how they...

Mike1975

If a 5 inch diameter circle is moved off center by 5 or more inches those two circles do not overlap. Scatter distance is determined by rolling 2d6. The median outcome is a 7. All rolls 5 or higher will not overlap (assuming there are only 2 templates, I realize there could be more). Furthermore, j...

Mike1975

if more than one missile is fired by a mecha the shots will always have some overlap

Mike1975

Wow. This has taken on a life of it's own at this point. I'm going to apologize in advance if this gets wordy. I also want to point out I have only been participating here so I don't know what has gone down on FB. I think the only way this really gets resolved is to start at the beginning- what doe...

Mike1975

Not sure I understand the above from Mike. I'm not making it harder to shoot down - I'm making it exactly the same to shoot down as every other missile in the game. Same with targeting - I'm not saying you can ONLY target one mecha - you target just like every other missile in the game. So yes - it...

Mike1975

I'm leaning more towards keeping Blast-type missiles the exact same as all other missiles (in terms of targeting, volleys, dodging, etc...) except that it gets a blast marker that can obviously expand the pool of effected mecha. That way the only rules clarification would be focused on the blast te...

Mike1975

Ok, to clarify a bit more. Important things to Note on Blast and Missiles A. Units with cover between them and the center of the blast will get the cover bonus. B. Missiles are shot down on a 6 by any units using AM under the blast radius. Points of Debate A. If I choose a spot on the ground and hit...

Mike1975

So we had a lengthly discussion on the Blast rules Phaze posted on the Facebook page. Here is a summary of what we thought would work better. Option 1: basically you fire all at one spot, add the damage like one super missile. If you miss they all miss/deviate. If you hit they all hit. If a unit is ...

Mike1975

So did I. The legs are hard to get glued just exactly how you want them. You have a lot of freedom to post the legs you just have to hold things in place for a good while so that the glue is somewhat dry. Using things to hold leg and torso into place helps.
