Has the Command Lance been posted on the store? Can't find it.
Generally new releases don't go up until closer to noon PST, so check back in around 6 hours from now.

I was wondering why CGL would wait until the anniversary of D-Day to make announcements. I blame being an old military history buff. :Blush2:

Seeing as you are a recruit . . . It relates to the Word of Blake.  The later Blakist Precentor Martial was Cameron St. Jamais, who headed up a radical sect of the Toyamas called the Sixth of June- which was when Myndo Waterly was killed.  They took that as their lead and believed in killing other leaders.  St. Jamais became the Precentor Martial after the previous one, Trent Arian?, was well mixed with the remains of his aide & limo.  They are theorized as one of the possible actors for the assassination of Morgan Hasek-Davion during Op Serpent.  They also found a fellow traveler in Kali Liao's Thuggees, and popular fan speculation/jokes are about a Kali-Cameron love child.

Oh no, that's not the issue. It's being held back because there's some confusion among kickstarter backers that it's part of the KS. So, better to just wait until after the KS is fulfilled than to argue on the internet.

Wise choice.
I have spoken.

We Blakists prefer the term martyred, thank you.

Is it even speculation? We know Cameron Victor exists, even if the universe at large doesn’t.

I will be buying all the UrbanMechs. I've got heaps of Marlboro Miles and S&H Green Stamps that I've been saving for a special occasion. An entire SLDF BattleMech Division of Urbie LAMs is that occasion!

The 40th Anniversary AGoAC and Intro boxed sets aren't showing yet, but those probably take more work to set up on the back end. The previous editions have been removed.

That reminds me, I still have an unused code from the Essentials boxed set...

Same, but I held off the 40th AGoAC. I'll get it in a couple weeks, got stuff to pay for first.

Edit: Yes I ordered the Urbie LAMs, I changed my mind about them.

I figure the Urbie Derby Collective on Solaris VII has got to field at least one of these...
"We have made of New Avalon a towering funeral pyre and wiped the Davion scourge from the universe.  Tikonov, Chesterton and Andurien are ours once more, and the cheers of the Capellan people nearly drown out the gnashing of our foes' teeth as they throw down their weapons in despair.  Now I am made First Lord of the Star League, and all shall bow down to me and pay homa...oooooo! Shiny thing!" - Maximillian Liao, "My Triumph", audio dictation, 3030.  Unpublished.

I know it's been said a few times that since the Urbie LAM is non-canon, there won't be any published stats for it outside of the Alpha Strike card, but I can't find a citation for that off the cuff.

Similar things were said in the past concerning the Orca and Gausszilla. Many things are possible if we wait long enough. no, I have no inside information, sorry. I'm speaking as a fan only.

The point value goes up a lot for the newer model of the Urbie LAM. Its got Dark Age era and higher eras, so its got to have some very nice upgrades.

when do you think we will get to see the stats on the LAM?
