Wow! Well, probably wouldn't be all that well received. Interesting they have the game handbooks on there. I wonder if they'll be useful along with the game? Are they taking stats straight from the tabletop game?
Jumped on the $25 level a little while ago. The video looks great, can't wait to get my hands on it!
Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty. This is known as "bad luck.” -Robert Heinlein

They dropped a little trailer for the game. No gameplay, but I like the tone and music. I *really* hope they include a way to watch a round replay in real time with a flying camera or automatic cuts.
Very interested myself considering they have some sort of a way to play actual missions (unlike a certain BattleTech arena shooter). Hoping this continues on the track it's on.

There will be PvP MP too. It's TBS, something we've been waiting for since the early 90's. Still hoping for co-op, seems like they may have said it could come later on afte release, but I may have dreamed that part.
I hope there is a map and mission editor for this too!!

Interesting... they shipped it on July 25, so it took it's sweet time to get here. But nevermind, it's here. I was originally going for the next tier, the one with the flight jacket, but stupid "priorities" got in the way. Really like the new Atlas head logo though!
