There are a few I would not mind such as the Marauder IIc 3 both for looks and how bad they were for the period in mini crafting.

Then again, you make a Phoenix Hawk L  . . . What is it going to look like?

A listing that even CGL could use on the sly...

One exists, yeah. I had done one for my own personal use but it includes stuff not for public consumption so it stays on my hdd

Thanks Bosch for doing the leg work

Okay, the era-specific compilations are done. I'll come back to this later to double-check my numbers, but I think that's everything.

Vehicle Annex: Nothing yet.

Vehicle Annex Revised: Nothing yet.
I had the impression the VHr had Added To what the VA contained?  Did they drop some AND add some designs?   :huh:  If the VHr only Added, you can at least disregard the VH.
To me, Repros are 100% Wrong, and there's NO  room for me to give ground on this subject. I'm not just an Immovable Object on this, I'm THE Immovable Object. 3D Prints are just 3D Repros.

Something to bear in Mind. Defending the BT IP is Frowned upon here.

It's already done, no need to remove it.

I didn't bother counting the units in any chapter that hasn't had a single unit yet produced. But I suppose I could.

Give it time, I don't think everything is going to be made, but it would be good for the more current timeline stuff would be made.

Nice work sir!  Could I trouble you to list the two 'mechs from the Wolf's Dragoons sourcebook you mentioned here:
Quote
Technical Readout 3039: 73/82 'Mechs, 26/48 vehicles, 1/17 aerospace fighters, 0/8 conventional fighters. [These] missing 'Mechs are from Tech Readout 2750 or the Wolf's Dragoons sourcebook.

Not all of us have that one (I do, but that's not the point). :)

He listed the Imp under another book, so I'm not sure about that one, but I think you're right about the Hoplite.

The Hoplite is in plastic.  It's in the Assault Lance that was part of the Mercenaries Kickstarter and is effectively on my painting shelf.  I have a strong desire to put it in my Hell's Horses colors instead of Brown Pants.

Currently sans plastic from Wolf's Dragoons (in book order):
Falcon
Hornet
Imp
Badger (Vehicle)
Bandit (Vehicle)
Kestrel (Vehicle)

Of course, they all have entries in later TROs as well, and so covered there.

Thanks... I think it would be clearer in the OP, though.

Ah, due to budget I had held off on most the mech boxes by ordering them through my FLGS as a way of spreading payments.

But yeah, was guessing.

While the ones that have seen no release could be questionable (ex: 3rd Star League Battle, ilClan Star, etc), we've known the contents of the Mercenary ForcePacks for almost a year and a half now, and people have been getting them in.
