![]() ![]() If these do well obviously we’ll move into Lance Packs that’ll cover other Eras as well.Ħ. Connecting these first Lance Packs with the time frame covered by the Introductory Box Set, Alpha Strike and even MechWarrior Online is just the best move. “Will there be more ‘Mechs beyond the Succession Wars/Clan Invasion Eras?” Obviously there is a monster swath of units for BattleTech and we need to start somewhere. In fact, one of the Alpha Strike cards in each Lance Pack are not for the units in the box, but help to push players towards additional miniatures you can find via Iron Wind Metals.ĥ. Even if we decided to double or even triple the number of plastic miniatures we produce, we’d only be a small scratch on the surface of all the brilliant metal miniatures that Iron Wind Metals offers, covering the gamut of unit types and Eras. Iron Wind Metals has been completely supportive from day one of our move into plastics. ![]() “What about Iron Wind Metals? Are they okay with you guys producing more plastics?” Absolutely. As you can see from the sample below, we’ve taken care of that issue.Īlso, unlike those con-exclusive cards, these will be double-sided to increase the over-all playability of the miniatures and the cards (hence the ability to include two variants for each BattleMech, covering different Eras).Ĥ. On the whole they went over very well but we had a lot of feedback from the players and the biggest complaint was not being able to track criticals directly on a card. We did a Gen Con/Pax Prime exclusive deck of Alpha Strike cards. Can turn an entire evening of play into just an hour or so, retaining the feel of BattleTech while speeding up play in a big way. What exactly does that mean?” First, in case you’ve not seen it yet, Alpha Strike is our “pure” tabletop miniatures game play style of rules. The boxes are only 7.5″ x 5″, so instead of cramming in record sheets, we leave those to those other great books.ģ. There are print Record Sheets: 3039 and Record Sheets: 3050 Upgrade, as well as unabridged PDFs that allows for the easy printing of a variety of variants for all the miniatures in these Lance Packs. “Will there be BattleTech record sheets in these?” No. So you should get the same great quality in every Lance Pack.Ģ. ![]() We’re using the same manufacture–and the same process–that generated the quality of the 24 ready-to-play miniatures found in the Introductory Box Set. “Will the quality of the miniatures be the same?” Unless something drastically goes wrong, yes. I’m sure there’s plenty more questions being asked, so I’ll try and hit some of the top items:ġ. And that relationship has finally unlocked our ability to produce plastics. The last printing we just released absolutely had the quality we’ve been looking for, especially for the miniatures. That’s included moving the BattleTech box set through 4 printers to the current printer. But it’s taken this long to wend our way through the trials and tribulations of working through this process. This is actually something we’ve been working on for ages, upon ages…I’ve got files dating back over a half decade where I posited selling ready-to-play plastic miniatures for a reasonable price via Lance Packs. If you’ve not already seen it, take a look at the announcement where we talk about the coming Lance Packs for BattleTech that’ll bring a slew of miniatures to your table. ![]()
