For those of you still looking for a copy of Battletech A Game of Armored Combat, it's back in stock on Catalyst's website.

I understand Davor's concern. You probably aren't going to find Battletech in stock very many places, it's true. You'll probably have to order any additional mechs you want from Ironwind metals, Aries, or another online retailer because there's hundreds of the little dudes. With their new release products, it's likely to be hard to get them in a timely fashion if you don't preorder them. And I fully expect the Kickstarter to be significantly delayed based on Catalyst's usual delays- but I also am confident that they will deliver.

As long as we're tossing out games- the inability to get product when it's released totally killed the X-Wing miniatures game, right? And Kingdom Death's lack of store presence has destroyed it.

I say worry about what we know of Catalyst as a company, not expect Palladium level failures.

In the meantime, it seems the next wave of restocks are filtering out into the wild, so grab some more awesome mechs and party on!

Just like to make sure people understand where I am coming from, I am not telling anyone not to do the Kickstarter. For me, I don't trust it. I never done a Kickstarter but after reading some horror stories, I don't want to take the chance. That is on me. So why do some people think I am being unreasonable? It's my opinion. My money. I am not telling anyone what to do with their money. I don't want to take a chance. I don't take a chance on eBay either.

So for me, I can't get any product if my local stores don't carry anything or their distributors don't offer it. I am happy for people who purchase it. I am happy for people who can play it. No where did I say it was wrong or bad, just that it's not a good choice for me.

The Heavy Gear one actually went fairly well. One of the unlocks didn't get released, but they credited everyone back for it, and offered the metal version of the same model at the KS price.

Giga-Robo's taken so long that, as a backer, I've lost all interest in it despite having bought the hyper forms of the base mechs. It'll probably go right to ebay when I get it.

Has Catalyst done a kickstarter before? That's the big question. I know I'm not one to back anyone anymore who hasn't completed at least one to get their initial issues ironed out.

I've gotten burned on the Robotech fiasco as well, and didn't the Heavy Gear KS have its share of problems as well?

And straight up, Catalyst hasn't had the best track record with their latest BT starter sets either - it was forever and a day before the set became available in the first place, and I've seen signs it's hard to track a copy down until recently.



The first Kickstarter that I ever backed was a CGL one; namely, The Duke.

I got all of the stuff that I pledged for and it's a great game.

However, there were a few snags along the way...

- Delay on fulfilment. Can't remember how large of a delay, pretty typical as far as Kickstarters go, so no big deal.

- Issues with supplying optional addons as a result of having to source different materials from different suppliers. The leather mat and laser etched storage box caused them a few issues, but they happened in the end. The big issue was the no show of the super swanky wooden storage box - that went pear-shaped and I think that refunds were issued.

I'm not worried about them doing a BT Kickstarter, because all of the components involved are things that they've done before with the new starter boxes. They've done minis, rulebooks, mapsheets, cards and boxes, so they should know where they're coming from.

Catalyst also did a Shadowrun Kickstarter. I'm not a big SR fan so I didn't follow it.

I think this one will be okay. They aren't funding the art, they already have it. It's just getting funds for production. I SUSPECT they already have the Clan Box basically ready to go, possibly even with minis. I think a lot of this is to get the stretch goals into production and to build on the release of the main box sets.

Catalyst has already stated their new box sets are always going to be available. They have it set up so they can just tell their manufacturer to just print up a run. They are doing that so they can keep costs in hand, and not produce more than are needed. Excess production kills their bottom line. So while they might be out of stock for the moment (at some points) they are generally always ready to get another production run going. The delay comes from having to ship them from China.

Having seen a few answer these, yeah it's actually completely doable. In theory you could establish a business continuity plan in the case of your incapacitation. Ie: Say this guy gets the money if he finishes my work for me.

It may be intended as satire, but frankly my company is a few unexpected heart attacks away from being screwed so it's something I've thought about a fair bit.

I am being serious. I don't understand why others would assume I'm being "satirical" or "ironic" in suggesting that it's entirely reasonable to place unreasonable demands on CGL.

Just thought of another few contingencies: I might get hit by a meteorite or killed by a single punch by Mike Tyson. CGL really need to get their act together. Not once have they suggested a personal meteorite shield might be coming nor a security detail. They could make them stretch goals, at the very least. Davor was probably trying to be a bit more diplomatic about it, but we pretty much all know that the Robotech kickstarter that has nothing at all to do with Battletech might have worked out better had these kinds of contingencies been worked out beforehand.

As it is, CGL seem to be sleepwalking into exactly the same issues as Palladium.

Please excuse me, I have more to say but I can just about make out a heavily built guy wearing boxing gloves outside my door so I need to see what's going on.

Personally, I love the clan stuff for the video games, but prefer the IS level 2 stuff for in game balance, it hits all the right notes for me but still lets you play with all the fun 3025 designes plus some extras

That's really surprising. I thought all the 3025 grognards who pop a vein in their forehead at the mention of pulse weaponry were all too busy swooning over the plastic Marauder.

It looks like this will have something for everyone- and I'd expect a Clan only and Inner Sphere only pledge, especially with the way the mechs are already packaged. Given how the Clan invasion was finally stopped- it's even probable there will be a Comguard Level II pack at some point in the campaign with Star League designs.

Now once the kickstarter comments start up, especially with stretch goals, you'll see vatbirth, freebirth, and all the other wonderful epithets that the two factions hold for each other.
