So, who's looking forward to playing solaris with AoD?

Great things I noticed

-add in the shooting in and out of base contact rules
-gear cards on your roster sheet!
-Mechs that will be marked with their wieght class! No more Assault class blades!

It would seem like a better implementation of Solaris will be a byproduct of AoD, albeit an unintentional one no doubt.

I'm sure Whizkids will do something to ruin that.

Aye, its a darn shame that as hard as Wizkids tries to provide us with the ultimate plastic crackage some jactard whizkids who think there sooo much smarter then everyone gotta keep coming along dissin the game, the company, the players with there "this is broke, thats broke, this sucks, that sucks, retirement sucks, vtols suck, arty sucks, big mechs suck, little mechs suck, infantry sucks, blah blah blah" instead of just sittin back and trying to play the game for fun.

i think with the new gear cards solaris will be so much fun

I remember seeing something about this last year at WWC, but I was not into MW at the time.

Can someone give me the skinny on these Solaris rules?

Solaris VII was a set of rules made for mech on mech action in a 2-8 player free-for-all, and was written by a wizkids employee for fun. It included compaign rules for having your pilots gain money, fame, and expereince. It originally appeared at cons. Shortly after reaching version 2.1, wizkids pulled the rules "in house" saying that they planed to do some kind of officail thing with them. Don't expect to see it anytime soon though.

No website is allowed to post the rules or charactor sheets for solaris VII. If wizkids finds out about a site that does, then wizkids will send them a warning followed by lawyers. They're not doing this to be jerks. By law, if they want to keep the rights to solaris VII, then they have to activly try stop others from making it available. However, that doesn't stop someone from e-mailing you a copy. Just remember, you want version 2.1, and there's 2 PDF files(record sheets, and game rules).
