When the warrior books eventually become PoD’able, where does one go to order such things usually?

This is among the things I'm trying to find out. I was really not a party to any part of the process with these.

You didn't miss it. Spotlight On: Nakayama's Blood is slightly delayed and will be out in the next day or three.

I'm not sure what's going on with the Warrior books. Trying to find out.

Thanks, can I say how truly great a job you are doing at keeping us in the know I personally appreciate it.

Will Warrior Rispote also be avaliable on amazon the other two are? Also did I miss the new spotlight release. I have been in the hospital the last week

Yes, the announcement for Book 2 on Amazon will be added when it's available. Same with the PoD option.

Great things coming out. Always good news.

So, will the Warrior Trilogy books have the updated artwork for the mechs on pages in the back, like in the originals?

Sartris · « **Reply #1325 on:** 27 December 2018, 00:21:19 »

it looks like the warrior trilogy has made it to amazon in paperback

Doing some holiday reading and I could not find A Splinter of Hope, The Anvil, Legacy, or Front Lines (BattleCorps Anthology Vol. 6) on the CGL Store. I did found all of them except Front Lines on DriveThruRPG but I would prefer to give CGL more of my money and keep most of my BT e-collection in the one online shop.

Am I doing something wrong or am I missing something?

Sartris · « **Reply #1327 on:** 31 December 2018, 08:58:21 »

Legacy is the only one actually in print I think. I got my copy on amazon. Bc anthology 6 was con only and hasn’t been widely released yet (either digitally or in print). The only place I’ve seen splinter of hope and the anvil was on CGL’s Instagram

Edit: missed you were talking about digital.
As far as ereader I can’t say they’ve added any fiction since the legends novel rereleases

Quick reset based on what we know

Warrior Trilogy PoD - Out now (amazon)
Box Sets - Jan 23
Map Pack - March
House Arano PDF - March 1

TRO: Clan Invasion - Being worked on?
TRO: Golden Century - Being worked on

Alpha Strike: Commander's Edition - Unknown
Capital Punishment (JTP PoD) - Unknown
TechManual / TacOps / StratOps reprints - Unknown
BC Anthology 6: Front Lines DTF - unknown

Mr. Pardoe's Forever Faithful and Ms. Brozek's Rogue Academy trilogy - I assume being worked on? I honestly am ignorant of the author to publisher workflow on fiction.

Oh man; I am nervous to see if my new FLGS gets the boxed sets I ordered in.

What is TRO: Clan Invasion? I missed that one. A similar compilation product to TRO: Succession Wars, I take it? I know it's not a popular opinion; but I sincerely hope it's not a vehicle for MWO-style versions of the Clan Omnimechs. I like my non-torso-twisting Nova and Linebacker!

Is that the anthology that was offered briefly at some Con, a while back? A Celestial on the cover?

It's the follow-up to TRO: Succession Wars that takes IS and Clan units up through TRO: 3067. It is the same size as SW (95 units), so a lot is getting left out. will be interesting to see what they pick. I assume it's going to be in the same mold as the first and not employ much (if any) new art, so you probably don't have to worry about the MWO-ification of your TRO art.

Yup, a pretty great rendering of a Malak. It was at Gencon 2016 and has not seen either print or electronic release yet (but is included in the fiction on the Coming Soon™ page)

Spotlight On: Nakayama’s Blood still pending or have I missed it over the holiday period?

Now Available - Touring the Stars: Sherwood!

"Founded with ecological sustainability in mind, the colonization of Sherwood seemed like a failure as soon as it began. But thanks to the strict control of a strong central government and a well-educated population, Sherwood pushed through the privations of the Star League era and became the 'Green Gem' of the Outback."

Went to check at my FLGS on my order for the Box Set, the ETA is still TBA on their computer (as expected, most online retailers are saying late January) but the funny thing was I was also somehow listed for the Alpha Strike Box and Steiner Combat Manual ??? ;D I now that those particular items are shelved for the immediate future and probably only ended up listed after searching Battletech, Combat, Box but it was somewhat surprising, funny and a little hart breaking for the game store who thought they had me down for a little extra $$$.

pheonixstorm · « **Reply #1339 on:** 11 January 2019, 23:10:29 »

Steiner CM?? Davion was next lol

Sartris · « **Reply #1340 on:** 11 January 2019, 23:13:38 »

A store’s website I frequented a few years ago had the AS box, cm davion AND cm Steiner

Greatclub · « **Reply #1341 on:** 12 January 2019, 03:21:02 »

I'd get the rest of the CMs in standard B&W, non-gloss interior.

nckestrel is posting "Combat Manual Lite" pdfs down in the Fan Designs and Rules forum. Steiner is on the list, but not Davion (for reasons he explains).

Basically, from what he posted, the reasons boil down to the fact that he didn't write that one and so didn't want to steal the author's thunder combined with the fact that CM: Davion was so close to sale before the brakes were applied that doing it as a Lite Beta may inadvertently scuttle any still remaining chances of it seeing print.

Hey Cubby . . .

Those pilot cards and the stand ups you showed off going into GenCon are not in the download section. I was wondering if they could be added there or stickied somewhere in the forums to avoid having to dig through posts looking for them.

For sure, good catch. We're looking at doing some refreshing across a couple pages, including Downloads. I'll add that one to the list.
