| After debating it for a while I think I'm going to bite the bullet soon and start playing.
I just really like the idea of playing something different that won't cost me much (how much should I expect to say buy 2000a.p btw?). I also really want a break from GW, and instead of doing a fantasy army (which just looks like waaaay too much work) I have decided to play and focus my modeling attention on this and building some sweet boards etc.
Plus I love Rackham despite the fact that I bitch about them being poor supporters of their games.
I've read some reviews, and plan to get going asap.
Is FRP games a good place to order from?

| I like there stock,they seem to have a fix on all Rackham product.
Kaddens buddy is selling one hell of a nice army to.I dont know how much,but I will tell you this,His stuff is in perfect condition.
I played this guy for 2 months every sunday,and he didnt have a scratch on it.He had all the good stuff to.You might know him.The MadMan?B.M.
He is a huge Star Wars guru.
Anyways good to have ya aboard,Like to play ya soon,Buy,CH14,15,Right away.Just putting terrain on a flat area is unbalanced and absolutly no fun.Pre-built missions are very stable,and very strtegic.
U.N.A.,can either be a heavily shooty army,with lots of great Infantry,and its got pretty good A.F.V. as well.Ther army really shines in the area of the Battle suits.They are a thorn in alls side when playing againts them.
They are finally coming out with some seriously nasty melee infantry,which I dont understand.They needed it when the phase two started.Its all underground in "Mazes",CREEPY
Later.

| thanks for the advice.
The fact that the game is heavily scenario based is one of the biggest draws for me. So I plan on playing themed games as much as possible.

| Warstore Matt......got best prices in town. As for the Cryhavoc's I can just copy pages for you or you can get the missions on the Rahkam sight.
Brian was my major hook up for my UNA lists....I play a killer mind list right now....It's going to get even worse as soon as I can get my hands on more toads.....
now this will be a game I will be enjoying playing you against.

| haha, I plan on keeping it my second game. so I won't put the time into becoming a really good player, and thus kicking CJ's ass all over the shop.
From what I have read I should be able to pick it up fast coming from Confrontation (bears some in common).
Debating on what to do now, UNA, Red Blok, Karmens. Therians are out because of the, in my opinion, atrocious models.
Thanks for the heads up about the warstore CJ.
can someone give me the links to these missions and that program you guys were talking about not too long ago?

CJ,The Cry Havoc Magazine pulished br Rackham studios,has a solid Copy Right on the Missions.
If you would like,you could loan you new Ch 14 to your friends and family,for them to read and take mental notes.
Thank You,Sigma Golem.

Company Value,pg79.Main rulebook
To set up an army requires great resouses,recruits and infulstructures.An army point value represents this quality of the training and equipment of fighters:and is thus a good indicator of there effciency on the battlefield.Yet building a company with only the "best" elements availible would mean creating an army particular diffulcult to play,since it wouldno be able to face the variety of situations coming there way,and therefore would be unable to carry out all the missions availible in the rulebook.
Just somthing to think about

| CJ,just trying to help ya dude.I have seen those one way list back fire one to many times.
Have you read all the fluff intended by the M.I.N.D.,You would be surprised.
Remember what I told ya,If a soldier ignores all those toads and concentrate on your Infantry,than it could be over really quik.
Then again,Ive always liked to use my grim golem flammers on theose fire toads.Nasty 
Have a good one Sgt.Borz Jr.CJ.

| Awesome!!!
pg.65 is the general rules for the wholw campaign ,start to finish!!
Phase 1:War Under The Heavens pg.72.These only apply to the phase one .
Mission 3,The production line,AQrtillery is allowed inside the Factory.Phase two NO,artillery,but the same map,becomes the Mechanical Maze.
Do you have your voodoo yet.Looks pretty tuff huh?No more just chasing everybody with the toads anymore.
Let me know what ya think..
