Typhon?

cool.

I guess I wouldn't expect much FLQ to be bought by you, considering how much you
already own! :)

Cheers
Rob

I think the idea of a special raffle is a great idea, I've already placed my
oder.  But not what you would have expected.  For some time I've been thinking
about Typhon and took this opportunity to eventually order the rule book.

In the long term a display board, and painted miniatures are planned, but with
so many ideas and projects, you never know when, even if this will ever happen.

Hello Steve, I unfortunately can't reply to any of your emails. If you would
like my other email address (not yahoo), then please ask AA for it directly. I
give them full permission to hand you such details.

Cheers, sorry for filling the board with (more) crap.

Rob

p.s. feel free to delete once he has my email!

Hello Ian, welcome to the group.

I think you will find that the majority of the posters here are flintloque
players, but Ion Age is looking very interesting. The miniatures are a little
pricier, but they are darn nice.

I would suggest AA send a copy of the rules to the reviewers at 'The Ancible',
it is a new Fantasy and SF magazine (like Harbinger) that is lookign very good.
The editor (I believe) is Ian Barstow, who once worked under Mongoose
Publishing, a good friend of mine from back int he day.


> Having gone through the book cover to cover, but not yet having played a game,
I thought I'd post about my initial reactions to the book.

I still have this with FLQ 3, I have yet to try it. Oh and Frontear (I keep
forgetting it exists)!

> It's great to see a new Ion Age release after so many years. I love the
'twist' with the Free Companies dissolving into the Prydian Precinct and
becoming engaged in an interplanetary Civil War. Ever since the new rules were
first announced and previewed I have been more inspired to paint. It's been
great to have a reason to break away from old colour schemes and try something
new, as I am obviously going to need a few platoons of Retained and Muster
troops for each faction.

No idea what you're on about unfortunately!

> While I personally would have preferred the cover and interior illustrations
of the rules to be in colour, and perhaps for there to be a few more images, I
understand the costs involved and appreciate the price point of the rules being
kept at a reasonable value. Likewise, the new tiles are single sided, again that
is perfectly understandable.

Edward Jackson appears to be a very busy man, I don't think he is paid to do the
illustrations he does and the vast amount of work he creates is amazing really.
Of course, we'd all like to see full colour, but that's the nature of it really.

> I'd love to see the website and/or this group being used to showcase larger
colour images of painted models, and perhaps even 'painting guides' or other
tutorial type articles. I think it's important that players be given at least
some information about the uniforms, heraldry and other details of the two
factions; after all, without knowing much about the goals and exploits of either
side in the war, what would inspire a player choose either one over the other?

That can be easily done. If I get into the miniatures, I will write up some
painting guides for this webpage.

> I appreciated the illustrations of the different weapon types, although it was
a shame the designer who put the document together laid the artwork files over a
grey background without making sure all 'white space' had been set to
transparent. Although I have been following the Ion Age background since the
very start, I never knew until now what the Tumbler (formerly Schmitwess) MPI
looked like! I know there's a Scout figure using that weapon, but sadly that's
one of the few Ion Age figures I haven't been able to obtain yet. Hopefully AA
plans to rerelease more of the line as time goes by (I am certainly looking
forwards to the Hopsitallers / Desteria Knights).

Sounds like a very useful part of the book. Always good to help the imagination
with pictures. A picture tells one thousand words after all.

> Overall I enjoyed the addition to the Ion Age background, and found the short
narratives accompanying the missions especially inspiring. I hope we see more of
Emeritas Hughes in future sets!

Sounds good.

> The new equipment (aerial mines, sentry guns and force pavaises) add some very
interesting tactical options and it's great to see communications specialists
and medics playing an important role.

I love the idea of specialists like that playing a big role. I'd like to see
some similar traits in Flintloque (Medics etc as discussed a while back).

> Without having played a game, I'd have to say the introduction of a points
system is also a big drawcard. At the same time, I really like that the missions
presented include many 'lopsided' battles and scenarios suitable for solo
gaming. This really shows the potential of the rules in a way that many evenly
matched scenarios would not.

This has been done with Flintloque as well. Points are a nice option, but I'd
hate for the game to be dominated by them.

> The boards seem perfectly useable. I'm not a huge fan of the white space
around the obstacles (cars, barricades, etc) and will probably cut them out to
do away with this problem. I think it will still be clear how many spaces they
'fill' if I do cut them out. For this reason I kind of wish the numbers
(indicating how tough each obstacle is) were not printed on the obstacles
themselves but were confined to the white space around them. I will rewrite
these numbers on the backs of the counters - I'd rather not have them covering
over the artwork.

I'm not sure if the company has a 'layout' specialist or graphic design team. I
get the picture that the boards were made for playability rather than purely
aesthetic reasons. Perhaps they could release a few 'board tile' sets, to keep
the games fresh. I have no idea how the system works though!

> Having played the original Firefight I was able to read through the rules and
understand them pretty quickly. I worry about new players as there are aspects
to the layout which are not particularly clear (it's telling that the original
Firefight used a greater pagecount and more orderly progression of rules, from
basic to advanced, to get across what were largely the same ideas).

This has becoem a problem with Slaughterloo and to some extent, frontear and
possibly the new flintloque. Their playtesters are often the most dedicated
followers of AA. This is good, but can be adisadvantage as they are not
reviewing it from the POV of someone who does not know the rules. I had this
problem with Slaughterloo especially and had to be taught to play rather than
learn it. Frontear's background was too long for me and I ended up giving up
reading it. I felt it could have been summarised quite a lot more. Most of it
went into my head and straight out again unfortunately.

> I do have some rules questions - I'll save those for another email - and there
are a number of issues with spelling and grammar, as well as the way the rules
are laid out. In some cases there are whole paragraphs of repeated text, or text
presumably "left over" from earlier versions of the rules which no longer seems
to make sense. I'll probably put up another post to address these proof-reading
and editing issues so that any future editions of the rules can be cleaned up a
bit.

Spelling and grammar are issues in a few of AA's publications. Again, this is
down to not having a proper editorial. This has happened to other companies I am
friends with on a regular basis (Mongoose Publishing and Spartan Games). SG got
around it by rereleasing the book after a few months, but edited.

> All in all? I'm glad this set came out, and look forwards to AA continuing to
support the Ion Age background with new sets that (if I could have one more
wish...) could perhaps be just a little more consistently edited and
comprehensively illustrated.

I agree with this judgement, it's always great to see new stuff coming out,
regardless of spelling or grammar.

> Not sure if I just wrote a review or a rant - either way, thanks for reading!


Bit of both, but critique isn't always a bad thing. It's just something to work
on. No one is perfect, and I certainly don't expect AA (which is a very small
company) to be perfect. I think they go well out of their way to keep releases
up where other bigger companies are failing to do so (Spartan Games for
example).

Cheers for your review mate, I found it useful.

Rob

Firstly I should say 'hi' to the group as I've been lurking here for a few
months without posting.

Due to the difficulty of getting to my local Post Office during business hours,
I only just picked up the package containing my copy of Firefight 2.0 on Friday.

Having gone through the book cover to cover, but not yet having played a game, I
thought I'd post about my initial reactions to the book.

It's great to see a new Ion Age release after so many years. I love the 'twist'

Hey Gavin,
I'm sure we will all be looking forward to it.

Hello All,

Thanks for this.  I think its the best Festive Season offer we have ever
done to date.

The chance to get a Magnum Orcus book from 2008 ot 2009 is a real joy,
only twenty of each exist and almost all are given out to AA Staff or as
gifts.  This is the first time they have been open to the public, indeed
when I think on it its the first time we have publically admitted their
existance!

Mr Alderman of course, young Rob, is in primary the one who inspired
VLE07 The Artist Goyah set from his comments and ideas this summer.

There is a Flintloque Scenario written for the LEU01 Bella Manicotti,
its being final tested by me and my good lady this weekend.  The insert
in the pack DOES contain stats and rules for the use of the set as a 16
man unit of line in Slaughterloo...see we think of everything ;-)

Hello Chris,

That it does!  Mr Alderman has already reserved a set of LEU01 for
himself.  I will be sending it personally to him next week.

Of course your Bishop needs an escort!  This LEU set will be rarer than
hens teeth soon enough.

Cheers,

It says something about your reputation on this group that when I saw the piece
on the Bella Manicoti my first thought was "I bet Rob will be first in line for
those" :)

I will admit that on looking at the figures my next thought was that perhaps my
Bishop of Nepolise could do with an escort...

Cheers,

Matakakea.

I hope you all enjoy this wonderful miniature, I sure did.

I have 2 and I am toying with the idea of converting one into da'freakin'pope!

Cheers
Rob

That Londinium coach is looking a lot more interesting. Adult Learner's grant I
hear you all shout at me...

Hmm... Could I go a week with no art materials? :)

Cheers again guys,
Rob

This is an absoloutely lovely gesture and it makes loving the game systems
totally worthwhile.
I will try and convince my girlfriend that buying me more flintloque stuff is
really worth it this Christmas. ;)

Really want one of those artwork books! I have fallen in love with many of
Edward's wonderful fight scenes! My favourite gaming tshirt is the one from MCS
miniatures with his scene of Beervarian artillery trying to fight off hordes of
undead!

The newly released miniatures are awesome, gotta love that Goyah! Can't wait to
paint the canvas.
I also look forward to a new flintloque scenario involving the Bella Mancotti!
Will we see SLOO rules for them?

Cheers!
Rob

To all

Please can I have feedback.  There will be a V4.

I re-writing some of the skills to make than read better;

Endurance (Level 1) - Ignores the effects of the first Hit and can act and when
it is converted into a Wound, do not place a shaken token.

Also, had an idea on a flaw admendment;

Alcoholic - Figure has a 25% chance per game of being drunk.  A drunken figure
adds -10% to Accuracy, -1 to Melee, reduce Movement by 5cm and have a +1 bonus
to Morale Checks.
