Topic: New player

Just picked up all three books as PDF's from RPGNow, have to say I'm very impressed.  Rules seem very straight forward (with a couple of neat innovations, the momentum idea is a good example) and the special equipment is just right- cool effects, not too many rules.  Love the background, espcially happy to see my beloved Austro-Hungarians leading the way in space combat doctraine!  My only question at the moment, being an incorrigible Yank, is when the the Americans going to be putting on appearence?

Yeah, the Sternmarine rocks  big_smile

I think the Americans are drawn up.  My understanding was they were slated to be in Southern Front, but the book was getting thick -- thick enough that the USA was left out until the next installment.

As for when that will be, or what it might include, I have no ideer.

Welcome to the club! I'm glad you like the rules... hopefully they stand up to your expectations after you've played a couple times.

The Americans will likely appear in the WW1 edition, which should be the next one up, unless we decide to do a quick short book on the Selenites.

And there I was thinking that there would not be any!

American Government Press release:-
There was no Invasion.
There are no martians.
It was a weather balloon.

Of course several years later .  .  .stealth ships!

The America of WW1 is not the same group of cynics that we all grew up with. :-)

I imagine that Teddy Roosevelt would be itching to get us into space, but congress isn't releasing the funds for the ships....
