Tell me where to send my application!  I mean, I work full time, about to add a third kid, etc, but I'm happy to work on a hobby that I've been reading since the late 80's.

Cheers,
Same here.

Foxes have no acknowledged/known contact with the Homies . . . no sneaking in the backdoor for you.
As far as we know.
However, maybe the Home Clans return with the Imperio Escorpion`s invasion of the Hanseatic League.

Something had to have gone badly wrong for them not to have nuked the Imperio in the 70 intervening years.

Maybe we'll get a sidebar about some seeker wandering around the ruins of the homeworlds.

I thought the date on that was 3142, so still not likely.

Just a lore question...when a Hermes  -4K (the 3058 DC export version) got a line in Tongatapu? The only mention that i can find to a mech line in that planet is from the XTRO: Marik set in 3080 with the Awesome -11M and clan-spec double heat sinks produced there by Technicron Manufacturing. Also is interesting thet the recognition guide named it "Technicron Manufacturing/IBMU". As far i know, Irian BattleMech unlimited was the only producer of the Hermes...in Irian. Probably they moved the line after IBMU factory got damaged during the Jihad, and after Irian was handed over to the RotS.

Bumping this question since I just stumbled across the answer, completely by mistake.
Objectives:FWL had some pretty major errata that I've never seen up until now, and Tongatapu is listed as having an Irian plant on the planet producing both Awesome and Hermes 'Mechs.
So the answer to that question is in 3077.

How much Awesome does the FWL need, anyway?   ;)

BTW do we have a serie model Wolfhound made with Clantech so far?

(I know there was Phelan Kell`s Wolfhound IIC, but IIRC this was a unique Mech).

Another great guide guys while i wish we could get all of these at once. I like how your doing it it kinda feels like I got a subscription to Janes Defense Weekly.

The Behemoth- Is as sexy as ever.

The Ostscout- I've never liked it but I like the 2 versions in the guide.
 
The Sojourner- Is neat, not flashy not the most bang for the buck but it's kinda like a Thunderbolt it shows up, gets the job done and has a good chance of going home in decent shape.
 
Grendel Omnimech- I like the new Grendel configurations and how you guys are using the flexibility of the omnimechs to keep them up to date.   

Urbanmech- Trashcan of death with sleeker trashcanny look

Bushwacker-I like the art work and the weapon config looks solid but I've never been a fan of it.

Zeus-11S-I don't think you can squeeze anymore awesome out of the chassis at this point I'm gonna call it

The Zeus-11S is the best version of the Zeus ever change my mind.
What does the fox say?

I wonder why. Wolf's Dragoons got away with stranger things than that and I thought it was a nice nod to what appeared to be a SNAFU in the old Wolf's Dragoons sourcebook that lists the pilot and the machine.
