I know it's definitely not 15mm or 10mm! Is it 1/285 or 1/300 if it is that means I can use some of my Battletech, 6mm SF, and microarmor with it. YEEHAA! |

Yep, and you can use Battletech minis (though not the clicky Mechwarrior stuff which was 1/144). |

It's a new scale – "unavailable-to-Australian-backers". Cheers CW |

I'll reserve my comments about RRT and ROW backers to where the language I want to use is allowable. |

It's 6mm scale, the various Valkyries and Destroids are the same size as the IWM Battletech metal minis. The Zentraedi pods, however, are much larger than the CBT minis. And what, is the basic game box larger than what's allowed by Aus Post? |

No, Palladium shipped only to North America. International backers got put at the bottom of the queue, after Gencon and web pre orders, American distributors and internet discounters. They have given no time frame for delivery to Australia, and their "Australian distributor" who is supposed to be fulfilling delivery hasn't heard from them in a year. Kevin Semenbeater is a dog of the lowest order. |

The only thing Palladium guarantees is tears. |

According to the Palladium weekly newsletter email, they're currently getting quotes to ship all the Aus stuff. Europe has already been shipped, packed by Palladium to be taken off the pallets and put in the EU mail system. |

If Palladium announced that the sun would come up tomorrow morning, I would get up and check. Cheers CW |

According to their Australian distributor who I spoke with at length they haven't heard from Palladium in a year, there is no agreement or contract in place yet, and they won't cover any fulfilment or import cost for the KS pledges unless PB pay for it. Now that may be wrong, but they are answering questions which PB won't, so I'm giving their statements more weight than PB. |

Nothing new, people had assumed they knew who the EU distributor was and had made inquiries and in the end that was not the distributor used. So TBH we don't know the who, what, where or why with regards to AU shipping. |

So, anyway, yes, to answer the OP's post and not derail it about things that are entirely unrelated to OP's question… It is 1/285 scale, known as 6mm. Micro armor scale buildings and such will work fine with it. |

If Palladium announced that the sun would come up tomorrow morning, I would suspect that they fncked up the sun… Probably hit it with a copyright claim, the sun ran off with all of Palladium's money, or Kevin Siembieda rewrote it… Still waiting for my ton of plastic mecha here in the EU… |
