M/S - did you send the MEGATRADE box in the end mate?
Just wondering, as nothing seen on my return Home.

Yes. It's on the slow boat to China though... LOL

There was too much lead in the package to send "par avion"...

Shalom,

Hi Guys,

Last updated: 24 November 2005

These are the reservations for "Planetfall" from Epicomms folks and close family so far:

1. Sister (signed)
2. Girlfriend (signed)
3. Iain Cybershadow Werry (signed)
4. Dafrca (signed)
5. Mojarn AKA Jyrki (signed)
6. Legion-4 (signed)
7. Tas AKA Paul (signed)
8. Vanvlak AKA John (signed)
9. Justiniel
10. Dwarf Supreme (signed)
11. Wargame Insomniac AKA James
12. Magnus - x2 copies (x1 signed)
12 & 1/2. Aaron McKinley (signed)
14. Primarch = x2 copies (x1 signed)
15. Heresiarch (Tom)
16. Lion in the Stars (signed)

- Plus fifty plus reservations from folks not from Epicomms...

Meaning that the intial planned printing run of a hundred copies is nearly complete! Yeah!

Reserved Review copies (Will post a review on their web site or in their publication... )
1. Jimbo (Review)

-----------

If everyone comes through then that justifies the first printing run by itself.

The price I set only requires ten to fifteen copies to be sold for me to break even and start making a (meager) profit! Huzzah!

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Sort of, have a look in my thread:

There are relevant links there, if you're interested!

Hi Guys,

I'm moving my blog to the general wargames are since I talk about non-Epic topics so much.

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Hi James,

X-posted to Maksim's Epicomms blog.

Quote (wargame_insomniac @ 29 Nov. 2005 (09:15))

I have been to the Metal Express site. Funnily enough it was Leland himself who directed me there when I posted on the olf SD Yahoo Group. I did n't realise until later that Leland had contributed to/written so many of the SD Supplements.

Leland's a funny guy and one of the most active "Internet" gamers I have ever met. He practically seems to have a web presence EVERYWHERE!

Has has contributed and/or written a number of SD supplements, but I don't own any of them and I have about eight of them or so. If I ever get one that he had a part in, I'll have him sign them.

Leland hopes to do more game writing like myself.

Quote (wargame_insomniac @ 29 Nov. 2005 (09:15))

He has given me some helpful advice for painting my Sigurd fleet. I am going for mainly red (the main Viking colour for shields & banners) with black & white for contrast colours (I want to try getting a few raven designs in black on larger ships wings).

He's a nice guy. We get along.

Quote (wargame_insomniac @ 29 Nov. 2005 (09:15))

Did you paint your SD ships for any particular House?
Or have you gone for a merc force?

I never really paid too much attention to the SD factions. I like the robots though (I think they're called the ASP Confederation or something like that). I also like the bio-organic bad guys (forgot their name).

I have a notion to use the SD ships as the Yuzhan Vong from the newer Star Wars novels.

I suppose that my SD ships are mercenary. I actually painted them in styles remniscent of the Arab/Israeli conflict. A few ofthem serve with my Epic air forces as well.

Quote (wargame_insomniac @ 29 Nov. 2005 (09:15))

I liked the Salamander but neither of my two fleets (Yoko Shan and Sigurd) can use it. However I did like using it when we were doing warm up games. The specialist gunner & 360 degree fire arc helped, plus it had torps! ? :8):

I like the Salamander.

Quote (wargame_insomniac @ 29 Nov. 2005 (09:15))

Maybe Leland can persuade you to give SD another try when Operation Dry Dock II comes out soon...

The thing about Leland is that his attention span is apt to wander. I've seen him switch gears very quickly in the past and I'll play SD with him again when he commits to doing so. Until then, I'll count on him for some friendly E-mails, but not a concrete game.

He also has a lovely wife and kiddles so I can understand if he is otherwise occupied. I have met his wife and a child of his before.

Leland used to run a painting service like Tuffskull, but he gave that up after a near-death experience a few years back.

He is also an amazing scratch-builder. One of these days when I have extra dinero about (Ha!), I'll commission him to build me an Epic dropship.

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Gary.

It looked interesting although I admit to not taking more than a glance at it.

*** I can't seem to recall... was it from Armadillo Games? ***

I'm not a big fan of starship combat games although I am interested in ground combat in the Star Trek universe. There hasn't been much published about it either.

I played a game of Star Fleet Battles earlier this year and enjoyed it although the system is more than a bit clunky and it heavily favors some factions over others.

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Amarillo Design Bureau (not Armadillo!)

Well, FC is far less clunky than SFB, you can play a game in much less time than in the older system, which was the point of the exercise!

Maybe if you know someome getting it you could see waht you make of it...

Oops!

Sorry, I've been to Texas and I remember the armadillos more than I remember Amarillo!

OK. Point taken.

Thanks!

Gary.

If Vince buys it (He's the local Star Trek fan!), I'll check it out.

Thanks for the heads up!

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

P.S.
Would you please share the link to your FC thread here?
