As far as I can tell, they're a bit precious about making sure everything they produce for Magic leads directly back to the CCG. Like, it's pretty clear that they could produce some really great video games as well (and they'd have a lot more reason to get into that industry than tabletop games), but they don't want to divorce the IP from the business of selling cards. I don't particularly hold that against them; it's their game and they run it very well as is.

Oh? Skirmish? Large scale? Scalable? Something in between?

Skirmish, our current plan is to start with alliance and turian in the first contact war, the same book will also cover the scyillian blitz and introduce the batarians as the first mercenary group (later to be a mercenary faction), e.a has been very forthcoming and if they like the ruleset they are willing to licence it, all very early stages here of course

Dude thats awesome! I gotta ask, vehicles, yes or no?

Come to think of it, I have a bunch of unopened boxes of the old Starship Troopers miniature game. That's one franchise I'd love to see get a game again. Hell, I'd like that game specifically to return; it was really fun and the models were great.

Mobil Suit Gundam

Also an Attack On Titan skirmish type game would be fun

Fallout would make a fun miniatures game so would command and conquer

I would like to see a good Star Wars miniatures game LOL or maybe even another attempt on Starship Troopers

Kane & Lynch. The arcade mode in Kane & Lynch 2 could be made into a brilliant wargame/board game.

Someone said Counter Strike as a joke, but I don't see why not. It'd be pretty awesome to move around Spetsnaz and L33T H4X0R models on a de_dust table. Could be complemented with a card system for buying all the classic weapons.

I always preferred my mecha a little more on the realistic side and would love to see a game based on Armoured Trooper VOTOMS setting (the inspiration for the Heavy Gear game). VOTOMS is a hard science fiction setting with a bit more of a galactic scale than Heavy Gear has

First off no there will be no vehicles, this is to save money for the infantry kits and when and if people enjoy the game and pick it up then we will look at vehicles.

I just thought of Barsoom otherwise known as the John Carter of Mars series.

Tharks, Red Martians, Therns, and many, many others.

G.I.Joe: A Real American Hero would be epic, but why stop there while wish-listing? I dream of 80s Saturday Morning cartoon APOCALYPSE! He-Man vs Thundercats vs Transformers vs G.I.Joe: A Real American Hero vs Mr.T's T-Force vs M.A.S.K. vs Silverhawks vs Macross vs Voltron, Etc....

I know I want to paint an army of Dark Elves from Thor 2. A Mad Max game would own. Vampire: The Masquerade or Dark Ages. Hell, all of White Wolf in to one amazing wargame.

On a side note, I really want an epic Lego 40k video game made by me. Just extract it from my imagination and make it a reality.

I can't believe only one other person has said Alien, for God sake imagine it. Multiple missions set on a tight board where the colonial marine player has a leveling squad of marines with individual skills?

Properly designed this could be the very best skirmish war game ever. Hell you could even have wayland-yutani mercenaries to really liven up the gameplay.

Sign me up, kick startit whatever, whoever has to do it just take my money.

I think you missed the boat by almost six months for the Kickstarter , but eventually you can get the game at retail.

For some reason I thought that game fell through, oh silly brain!

Well now I know where to throw my money in the near future! Thanks!

Happy to help spend your money (The miniatures do look amazing so they'll be getting my cash as well)!
