These new rules are bound to attract a lot of attention. Just getting ahead of the curve to ask for a new board for them?

abelp0114 Aug 2015 5:01 p.m. PST

LOL! You richard! (HA! Beat the censor!!)

RavenscraftCybernetics14 Aug 2015 5:32 p.m. PST

yes we need this! but if it spawns a media board as well please relegate is to the plus side.

Personal logo Extra Crispy Sponsoring Member of TMP14 Aug 2015 5:35 p.m. PST

No media. But it occurred to me we need it in 6mm, 10mm, 15mm, and 20mm.

Make it so you can't click on the link anywhere, you have to manually type it in.

Don't forget plastics.

Is there an RPG version?

Personal logo Mister Tibbles Supporting Member of TMP14 Aug 2015 6:34 p.m. PST

There is an app for the RPG version, but it's only available for Windows 3.1 phones. Personally, I'm more of an OLDPBQPTSMESFPCL player, so we would also need that board.

Which version?

Mako1114 Aug 2015 7:49 p.m. PST

I support it, but only if the full name of the rules are listed for the board, since acronyms can be a little confusing to some.

Mark, defining exactly what version of PBQPTSMESFPCL is true OLDPBQPTSMESFPCL is hotly debated. Since I value my life somewhat, I dare not get into that debate. The topic has been known to start TMP purges. PBQPTSMESFPCL players can be quite passionate. Don't even bring up the debate if PBQPTSMESFPCL is just a game or a simulation!

Coyotepunc and Hatshepsuut14 Aug 2015 8:59 p.m. PST

Yes please. I would support the creation of this board.

Sergeant Paper14 Aug 2015 10:20 p.m. PST

I will need fleets and aircraft for both sides in 3mm for skirmish and 2mm for company-level actions.

@Mister Tibbles:

It has been decided* that PBQPTSMESFPCL is a mere game. PBQPTSMESFPCLOLD is just an upstart game with pretensions to being a simulation. It is beyond doubt that the only simulation from this "family tree" is EMPIRE-PBQPTSMESFPCL.


*…by me.

Winston Smith15 Aug 2015 9:11 a.m. PST

Not before POIUYTREWQ.

Bashytubits15 Aug 2015 11:28 a.m. PST

It is not a "true" simulation unless it has rules for Godzilla.

tberry740315 Aug 2015 2:15 p.m. PST

What happens if you say it backwards?

Too chicken to try it myself.

Personal logo Mister Tibbles Supporting Member of TMP15 Aug 2015 2:55 p.m. PST

Tberry, it disappears only to return several issues…I mean months…later to torment you again with rules even more devious than before. Either that or the atmosphere ignites, killing all life as we know it. Certainly, the former is worse than the latter so do not say it backwards!

The rules for Godzilla can be found in NETPBQPTSMESFPCL or the PBQPTSMESFPCLBIBLE. I can't recall which, but they were fan-made, not official.

Yes, Mark, for any game to be a simulation it must have EMPIRE in its name, in all caps. I forgot about that. Forgive me.

Dang, looks like we'll need even more boards now to cover all these versions!

I say we nuke the site from orbit! It's the only way to be sure…evil grin

Wasn't there going to be a hybrid Clix/CCG expansion at one point?

BlackWidowPilot Fezian17 Aug 2015 7:17 p.m. PST

Not until we hit at least 9th edition, just to get all the kinks out…

And it better have 90mm fully automatic gyrojet machine pistols this time around, 'cause I'm sick of those whimpy 37mm semi-auto glorified Saturday Night Specials the Space Wombles tote around… bunch of wimps!evil grin
