Considering they are going to be having at Dragonmeet on Nov. 26th, I'd say Christmas 2011.

FRP Games is showing the smaller Gorn fleet coming out in Feb...love me some Gorn.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my FLGS can still get this game in through its distributor before Christmas!

Im seriously considering preordering the smaller Klingon and Romulan fleets through The War Store towards the end of this week.

I preordered the klingon, and federation small fleets, and the rulebook. I enjoyed Noble Armada (a touch more complexity than gothic - which I think is a great game) and hope that this game follows suit.

I really feel that still having it say "November release" seems to be stretching things at this point.

Yeah, so has anyone seen anything about the actual release of this game? I saw it was supposed to be out at Dragonmeet in the UK, but Nov 26th has come and gone.

Anyone know anything?

It has gone from pre-order November release to just pre-order so who knows. The mongoose website updated recently though as it now has full pictures of the boxed sets and fleets, but the cloaked Romulans seem to be missing as an option now.

I'm starting to doubt this game will make it out in time for Christmas...more likely, it will be Q1 2012 :(.

There are some people on the Mongoose forums that have the book, no idea about the models.

Haven't gotten a shipping confirmation on anything yet.. but thats not unusual..

Thats kind of a bummer, but not too much, as Ive decided to wait until the Gorn stuff comes out, which will be Feb at the earliest.

I saw on another forum (though not sure which at the moment) that they have said that the miniatures should ship by December 12th and that the rulebook will be going out in waves, with some already getting it, going along with what Cyporiean said.

No, they're there, they just cloaked!

Just scan for exhaust pipe

Hear that Rulebooks are shipping out now and next week Squadrons and Fleet Boxes start shipping out!

Is a good read for those interested.
Almost time to sink our teeth into this succulent feast.

The minis are multipart resin, right?

With a few metal detail bits.

Good to know. I was afraid they were going to be prepainted plastic when I saw the first promo pics.

Should have my rule book soon I hope!

*BUMP*

So, has anyone gotten their hands on this game yet? My FLGS has yet to get it in from its distributor.

I've gotten my rulebook from Mongoose direct, just waiting on Neal to send me models...

I am waiting on my squadron boxes as well and I was wondering what people thought of the game so far?

The rules look pretty good, only a couple of issues thus far. Mongoose is supposed to be putting up an Errata/FAQ soon though, so hopefully that clears things up.

Been looking forward to painting up these minis since I saw them at Gencon last year, hopefully they'll get here soon.

Cool! I just talked with the store owner yesterday, and he heard from his distributor that they will have it towards the end of the month. Looking forward to getting my hands on it!

Got my Klingon and Feddy Squads in today, got them built and and now waiting for the primer to dry

Alot of flash on the models, but no bubbles.

That's good to hear. I can deal with flash, but having to re-sculpt parts after filling in bubbles would be a major headache!

As far as my FLGS, the owner told me last night that the rulebooks and box sets will be in the store next weekend. I'm definitely picking up the Federation set, but I might get one of the adversary races too.

After a bit more cleaning and priming I did find 2 bubbles on one of the Klingon ships. Nothing major though.. and its really hard to tell a defect in the model from the way that ADB's designs are

Going to make those bubbles and the little bit of flash I missed into battle damage.

still in progress, but getting there!

They're a bit bigger than I though. I figured Mongoose had listened tot he backlash about the B5: ACTA "bigatures" as the Armageddon releases were sometimes called.

(Admitrtedly, those releases also suffered by jsut being not-great designs... But they were also generally gigantic, for a game that is essentially a 'pinpoint' game. I.E. the base stem was the important bit...
