Greetings, I didn't find any place dedicated to introductions for new players so I decided to do it here. My name is João Didelet and I'm from Portugal. I got into RRT through the Kickstarter and received my wave 1 (two starters and extras) just a month ago. I decided to buy RRT because Macross: Do you remeber love? was the very first anime I saw, when I was a kid. Only now did I find about the whole Macross vs. Robotech. So I have been assembling some miniatures, just enough for the introductory game (6 regults and 3 valks). I'm using plastic glue (from GW) and the PDF's from Palladium at drivethroughRPG. I have been a gamer for a while (first 40K and later Flames of War). The regults are easy enough to assemble - the legs options and poses are the only part where some questions arise. On the straight, standing legs the feet seem to overlap one another. I'll have to take some pictures and post them on the modelling section. No questions on the fighters, just recommend leaving the missiles off before painting. Now I'm doing some guardians, and I have a question: the head should be in the same place as in the fighter mode, right? And now for some newbie rules questions... I'm reading the rules manual and I can't find the Zentraedi Reinforcements rule or the various Valk missiles options. Where are these? I haven't opened the cards yet so I guess they are there? Any way, just wanted to say hello and sorry for the long post

Any way, just wanted to say hello and sorry for the long post Regult legs - Angle them out slightly when gluing them in place and they will fit properly. They are on a ball-socket joint so you don't have to place them flush/flat against the fitting and they will still hold well (this also allows you more posing options when you start to play with the angles on the legs)
Guardian - Yes, the head in the same place. Make sure you put the head on BEFORE the gun, legs and arms!
Zentraedi Reinforcements - It's on the cards, not in the book.
There's a LOT of information to play the game on the cards, including squad sizes and disposition, bonuses, points, options, etc.
Welcome to RRT!

Thank you Rorschach.
I guess I should go check the cards.
I'm now assembling the battloids.
