In the not too distant future, I'd like to pick up some models for the Texans and possibly Underdwellers sub-factions, but I'd prefer to wait for official rules for them (particularly for the Underdwellers). And then there are the rules for aircraft and the Siege Europa supplement that has been teased for a while now. However, releases for this game seem to have slowed to a crawl in the last number of months. Is there any update on a time table for any of these releases?
Thanks a bunch! I really like what's been done so far.

I like what you did with the Texans and wouldn't mind using them if ICG doesn't release rules for them soon, but I do tend to prefer official rules.
And I think the unofficial Underdweller rules are too convoluted and don't really mesh well with what models are available for them.

The underdweller rules were a beta version from the previous company that owned AQMF and never completed. Hopefully IG will get a supplement out this year as they are releasing new products. Correcting the mistakes in the main rulebook pdf would be a start.

I think I based the Texans on the pdf released by the previous firm. I too would be interested in seeing updated/revised rules for them. The previous firms beta test rules were kinda off, I agree, but, in order to at least play with the figures we all bought (well, some bought), I plunged ahead with the stuff I've posted. Some of the units, like the Magma Men, were pretty straight forward. The rules get funky where the underground drillers and other artillery/assault units come in. Until/if IG decides to publish something more concrete, at least there's some you can try. I did some interesting scenarios based on them, my favorite being the encounter in Yellowstone National Park with elements of two different cavalry patrols and their forward park bases. See threads in OOB/TO&E sections.

I don't think there will ever be official rules for underdwellers... it just seems like something the previous company did but doesnt really fit the AQMF story.

I've read that too, but when Joe first announced the release of the UD models, he said that rules would be forth coming in order to add a small, allied force of UD to a human army.

We'll see. Here's hoping you're right about the add on. May IG should also consider a supplement rule book for oddities and additional storyline/figures outside the original scope of the game. As if they weren't busy enough already. Good Luck IG at Historicon - may you be blessed with sales and lots of new players at any demos you give. Hope my buddy Robert Pudelka gets to play; he's a big fan & pretty good tactical player. Dang I miss being able to go to the conventions with him...

Do you think it's likely that there will be a rules update before the Siege Europa rules?

I think the living rulebook is just fine for now.
Once, there was supposed to be Humans, Martians, Morlocks and Selenites, and possibly a 5th faction to set up a sort of Warhammer dystopia.
Right now, If I want anything it would be:
ICG distributing S2G's German troops. They are AWESOME!!!!! French (ribbit) Troops Renault tanks, Lorraine troop carriers and "grand battery" artillery.
Rules for different flavors of civilians and mixed militia troops. Humans will do whatever it takes to fight Martians.

Do you think it's likely that there will be a rules update before the Siege Europa rules? At this point even Siege Europa reminds me of Bigfoot. We've heard reports, seen some grainy images, maybe even found a footprint or two...but does it really exist? ;-)

Sweet S2G - hardlec, there are Renault tanks in Old Glory line - see my TO&E and OOB for French Regulars - I offer two different regiments, one around New Orleans and one up north by Canada.

I can now print my own Renaults. I can't find any printable 18mm infantry, french (ribbet) or otherwise.
