Looks Cool

@Ironwill13791 - I gotta see that

Basically the rules we are working on will use:
FoW stats
$$ value as you will be buying your tanks.
Damage card system (much like X-wing and outrider car game)
Tank data cards (will have all the data for that tank)
Initiative system (similar to X-wing lowest moves first and shoots last. Highest moves last shoots first. still WIP)
Battle cards (will add flavour and events during the game)
Structural points (each tank will have a certain amount of SP once they have been reduced to zero the tank is destroyed)

Advanced rules:
Upgrade cards (can't afford a new tank then upgrade your 38(t) to a Hetzer)

Scenarios:
Annihilation (5 tanks per team destroy all enemy tanks)
Flag tank (random tank designated with blue/red flag. You win once that tank is destroyed.)

Tournaments:
Early rounds Max 10 tanks (knock out system)
Semi-finals Max 15 tanks (knock out system)
Final round Max 20 tanks (knock out system)

16 schools to choose from all tanks from WWII era.

That's an over view.

So which parts still need to be hammered out? From the sounds of it you've done a great job so far.

* Putting the cards together which is me spending a few hours on Gimp making cards.
* adding more cards to the battle cards
* set up the battle card layouts
* write up special rules for each school
* write up upgrade cards (hull, weapon, crew and tacticle )
* Write up scenarios and tournament rules
* create formula to work out each tanks $$ value
* create formula to work out initiative for each tank
* write up the rules (ranged attacks,ramming, formations, repairs, etc)

That's the main parts will be other things that we eventually will need to look at.

Enjoy the anime Tau.

@Ironwill13791- that is fething awesome, my only issue are the heads, if he used real nendoroid heads for those minis then it hurts my heart a little bit.

@Lord GreyWolf- Do you know how many cards of each type you want? I have average photoshop skills and I might be able to help.

@Spartan-Kun - Yeah, the heads through me off as well. But the battlesuits, drones, and vehicles, those were truly amazing. I got some inspiration for Tau vehicles from that army. One word- Symphogear
P.S. - I think he did use real nendoroid heads on the models.

I am going to keep watch on this project. I think I can get my friends to try the game. And I really enjoyed GuP.

Any news?

This is pretty awesome sounding, I won't back without images though, much as I want this, shipping from down under's a bear!

This is what i keeping me from stashing some cash and backing also. I want to see some previews or something.
I am interested in hearing progress reports on the game also.

Is there going to be a Kickstarter?

I'd think it's a bit too small project for a kick-starter.

I got an update we are at 487 of 600.
All we need are 113 More units ordered and it then meets the 300club amount requirement.

But if we could add on 200 more that would give a nice buffer.

LGW

All well and good, but a single promo before hand would probably get the needed numbers and then some. I could easily see a thousand units being ordered given how popular GuP is.

Tbh, I'm under the same situation. I watched GuP not even a week ago and I loved it. The idea of having a Pravda force could be the push needed to try FoW or at least paint some russian tanks I so dearly like but with this shipping, urgh, I'd have to buy a LOOOOT of school girls... the shipping is a killer when compared to the girls cost.

That's the issue for me, the shipping's a bear, no matter how enthusiastic I am for the product.

Yeah, the shipping is a tough pill to swallow. I think I could get over it and allot the funds for a whole GuP force (in 1 go) if I could see them. Right now, it is the waiting game.

Any news???
