I look forward to GB's development blogs almost as much as the books themselves.

Cheers,

I'm interested in who the merc commands are going to be. That's not to say I'm not just plain excited about this product in general, I just always love merc info.

I'm liking what I have read so far.

It's not about winning or losing, no it's all about how many chapters have you added to the rule books after your crazy antics.

Wow, this is really interesting product! My group is trying blow through the Jihad plot books (currently moving JHS:3070), having updated current rule set with bv2 would be really nice.  I LOoking forward to getting my hands on this one!  Thanks Ben!

I love that panic Mech look in first sample picture with all those missiles.

Well, as an enormous fan of the Chaos tracks I’ll definitely be buying this as soon as the PDF hits, because it sounds insanely cool. Hopefully if enough people buy it we’ll see more “campaign books” in this style.

Looks good, like the artwork. Just shows how trusted that guy is if he just have to have a fully armored man with a gun on his bridge.

Cool cool cool.  A comprehensive update would be great, especially as playing through the Chaos campaigns could produce problems down the rule given how the system was a little ad hoc, particularly with the rules changes.

I don't know if it would be in the scope of this work, but it would be interesting if some overlap could be provided between the Jihad and the Wars of Reaving; with a force turning from trying to fight its way out of the Homeworlds in the wake of the rise of the Bloody IlKhan, only to jump head-first into the midst of the Master's machinations in the Inner Sphere.

I noticed that too. I can't believe nobody would notice a misspelling like that, but I also can't think of a reason to misspell it on purpose.

Linguistic drift accelerated sharply in 2113, when Webster's formally acknowledged "Internet Forum" as a legitimate dialect.

Three things I wonder about:
- Will we see tracks for the time-period covered by Jihad Secrets (3073-3074)?
- Will the flow of tracks from one JHS to the next be adjusted so that the selection of tracks originally in one source book will influence availability of starting tracks from the next source book?
- Will we see Mr. 'Askai' in the Dark Age also?
