VU I guessed. It's also straigth on the map. But AL and VO, I don't see. O might be for Ordenstaat or Ordes, but I'm not sure what the V might be then.

Oh, it's most likely Ordenstaat... I couldn't tell you for sure as I don't have the list .

So something funny I noticed recently. The Viklanders Troll slayer rule gives them a bonus agiest stuff like the vanderland Skyship and Civitan Landship.

I don't think their is anything balance wise that's bad about this, It just seems kinda funny from a fluff perspective. Just a bunch of hamsters getting hype about taking on a land ship head on is a funny image in my head. lol

Glad to enjoyed that.

Also really enjoying the speculation on what each of those letters stands for.. Keep it up!

The third book is "AL/CE/FS/VU/VO"

AL=????
CE=Cult of Exomorphism
FS=Federated States of Vespuccia
VU=The Volk-Urssia Republic
VO=Vandalands Ordenstaat

Easy to figure out just by looking at this page:
http://www.on-the-lamb.com/content/brushfire/brushfire-factions/

Been looking at the world map trying to figure out AL but can't figure it out.

Oh now you're just cheating


I will say that AL is on the map.

I will also say that AL is not the American League of the MLB. Also it may not be 1 country on the Map.

"Axony colonies coaLition" then: platypus AND beavers! You made my day Alf.

Well, it is a Coalition...

Also, I've been writing up some more Mercs Only units inbetween casting EFT figures. Any requests?

Beaver lumberjacks perhaps a an offshoot of the gopher engineer that allow you to place low walls instead of burrow markers.

Okay this chat has dragged me into wondering what AL is. At first I figured it was Avian something but this coalition talk is making me think it's something like an EU or UN.

Also, have you guys always casted some of the figs or is that new?

As of the beginning of the month, all of the resin casting is done at OTLG.

That would be cool.

Made me think of other local animals as game models: Wolverine rampagers, Deer highwaymen, Moose cheftains, Bobcat line infantry, Skunk alchemists, etc. So many cool fig concepts ! Are Cervidaes and other horse-like animals intelligent in Brushfire, or are they mainly mounts? There is no mentions of reindeers, camels, elks, antilope or stuff like that yet, I think.

Mainly we don't want to 'deal with' hooved mammals, thats why you generally have flightless bird mounts.

CE is the Cult of Exomorphism

FS is the Federated States of Vespuccia

VO is the Vandalands Ordenstaat

VU is the Volk-Urssia Republic

No clue what AL is.

I know what AL is and as soon as you all do, you'll be like, "Oh! That makes sense "

Locark beat me with the list.

My submission to the merc only units is a wallaby with a boomerang. or a kangaroo...

Can't we have a topic for fan-creations?

If you'd like to make a 'Requests' thread you can.

During the kickstarter we had a level for people to buy the creation of a model. Lockark paid for Tajir.

Not sure what we were thinking with the pricing for that level, the thee of them got it at a steal. The version from the Endless Kickstarter (Rhapsodist Level) was more in tune with the costs involved.

What are the other two models fan created?

My best guess for AL is the Republic of Armarillo. It has an A, and it's the only country with A that is not yet used.

Kardaxx in Scyzantium, and Hua Poi Kay & Lao Yi in Chugoku.

That's cool. I don't suppose you'll post up information about the equipment and process? I'd be really interested in reading about that.

We know a number of players prefer the ‘One Book to Rule them All’ format, Late next year we will release a POD Hardcover Tome edition of Brushfire

Brushfire - Complete Second Edition Hardcover POD Book Tome - $99.99*

Assuming I continue playing and the 2nd edition works for me this'll be on my shopping list!

You were one of the folks I was specifically thinking about for that edition, Casey.

Thank you very much! I foresee absolutely no reason why I wouldn't buy it. I might even skip the paperbacks and work from PDF until it comes out.

A few questions:
What does POD stand for?
Will this be limited edition?
Will this be full colour?
Will it include the Mercs section?
And will there be any other surprises inside? Or maybe a limited edition miniature?

What does POD stand for? Print on Demand, it'll be avaliable through WargameVault's POD service just like the faction decks/replacement cards will be.
Will this be limited edition? No more so then any other version of the book
Will this be full colour? Likely yes.
Will it include the Mercs section? If you ask nice enough I might see about including it since its the 'complete edition'
And will there be any other surprises inside? Probably not, we wouldn't want to 'punish' people for not picking up the stupidly big edition of the book.
Or maybe a limited edition miniature? Not possible due to the way the book will be handled.

Wont lie. Would totally throw down for a hardback complete edition.


Also on the topic of new merc units.

Well the pi-rats didn't realy last as a idea as a stand alone faction, If think they would be a good idea as a merc unit. Something like Rats with Sword and pistols, and plus one to their RS and/or ES. I justify the stat increase because the hard life of a pirate has weeded out the slow ones. lol

Whose to say the Pirates didn't end up somewhere else?

They gotta make port somewhere afterall
