Upcoming Releases XXIX: First Annual 29th Birthday

[Wolf72]

Also the Urbanmech LAMs!

that'd be a hoot ... we may have to dream real hard for those.

[Sartris]

Dreams will not be sufficient unless you can inception the data out of the people that did the stats in the first place

Also the Urbanmech LAMs!

Pretty Sure we were told those are NOT Canon, and will never have Record Sheets.

I know what's been said on the matter, but I gotta admit I feel the recalcitrance on releasing sheets for the Urbie LAM is a bit odd, considering we've gotten plenty of sheets for April Fools and Halloween products before. And they made an AS card for it, so making it useable in one version of the game and not the other. I get concerns about someone showing up at a tournament or event with them and arguing that it has a sheet so they should be able to use it, but someone could do the same thing for the equally ridiculous Battle Tripod from War of the Tripods .

Oh well.

In a completely different direction, saw some retailers saying street date for Force Manual Davion is this week (today even!). PDF incoming?

I'm just saying the AS card for the Dark Age Urbie LAM is quite a upgrade, would love to see it.

That's what this post says as well, no record sheets.

Store's newsletter said this month.  I just figured it would be the 30th.

Hey, remember back when they told us we'd never see Marauders again?

Just give it a couple decades.

Im just saying with a Forcepack and sold, it just would be nice. There are a lot of things that were not canon and now is canon in this universe.

Seems to me that all they'd need to do is print something to the effect of "Not Tourney Legal" on the sheet to head off that argument anyway.

Why some people are seeming to celebrate that the Urbie LAM won't get a record sheet is, frankly, beyond me.

YAY!  Glad that I actually Remembered Correctly!    That's Probably my one for the Month.

I don't remember that, I guess that was after the "Unseen" Issue, but before Project Phoenix?   

Seems like they said, "LAMs Are Officially Dead!!", at one time, but sadly, they brought them back after all. 

[SteelRaven]

Let's not have the LAM discussion here, that's a topic of it's own along with aerospace.

[GRUD]

Not "Discussing" anything, just pointing out something we were told in the past was "Dead", but was later resurrected.

[ANS Kamas P81]

Considering there is no and never will be a record sheet for the meme joke of the UrbanMech LAM, I'd say LAMs are still dead and have not been brought back.  It's a one-shot gag, it's not a playable unit.

[I am Belch II]

How many beyond dead things in Battletech came back?? But here we are in the game we like.

You mean there's hope for ComStar?

Depending on your version preference it was resurrected already.

*looks at my entries in TR 3085* LAMs aren't dead. We have rules, stats, and record sheets. We just don't have a new aerospace rules set to push for making more models of them.

Virtually every Battemech that reached production status.

Went to a certain Website (Ok, it was Aries!), and was reminded of an "Upcoming" BT Game.  When was the last time we heard anything about the BattleTech: Command game?     Like, ANYTHING??    

I think they've at least mentioned Aces in the past Month or two, but I can't even remember the last time I read anything about Command.     Granted, I could Very Well have missed it.     They might have talked about it "Elsewhere", but I get 99% of MY news about upcoming products from this Site, from this Thread.

Is it still in the works, or has it been quietly cancelled? 

[Ghaz]

'Aces' was mentioned in the 'BattleTech’s World Ambassador and 40 Years Of Stompy Robots – An Interview with Randall Bills' article on Sarna at the start of the month.

[SteelRaven]

From what I last remember reading was that both are still in testing, I forgot how long it took it Destiny to go from Beta to Retail but I was exp expecting the wait with the number of projects coming down the tube. I'm wouldn't be surprised if someone pumped the breaks a little after people complained about the editing of the last book.

And I specifically use those LAMs (at least the WoB LAMs) in my personal unit, and am very happy to have them.

Do you mean the Blessed Order?  Because it rose from the dead like a zombie that caught a shotgun blast to the head before it managed to leave its own grave.

[Tyler Jorgensson]

I did make a thread for it as I was trying to use one in a game in the Fan Mad Forums

Urban Mech LAM

[Flaresnake]

Pretty Sure we were told those are NOT Canon, and will never have Record Sheets.   

Then whats the point of having models for it anyway?

What's the point of the 4" Mad Cat, or the plushies, or any of the other toys or swag?

Because the Urbanmech is a meme that was taken way too far.
