Upcoming Releases XXIX: First Annual 29th Birthday

[Colt Ward]

Went checking for a book for my kid to night and to see if they had the salvage boxes for some fun.

Half-dozen or so lance packs, 9 or so GoAC, Beginner Box, Alpha Strike & Clan Invasion all on a end-cap.

Mine has started keeping everything on an end cap, too. I think they made the change around the time the store exclusives were announced. It’s usually some mix of the box sets, the exclusives, the paints, and the Inner Sphere Command and Battle lances. I only remember them having Salvage Boxes once or twice.

Now that the FLGS across the street from B&N has a BT section, though, I try to spread my hobby dollars between the two.

Last Friday in March--Are we expecting any releases today?

It's Big Friday before Easter. Probably not, as most of CGL is away on Easter holidays.

Most of the stuff is still on a boat. So going to be longer

Word is Combat Manual Davion is in the warehouse as we type.

[Fat Guy]

Odd that none made to Adeptacon if that is the case. Especially when copies of Rec Guide: ilClan did, and it's listed as a summer release.

Heard it was printed here in the states.  Glad to know that and I hope it stays cost-effective.

Is it just me or the whole concept of Clan Spaniel gives me Starfox vibes? (in terms of the character concepts)  Y'know, Simmians/Primates being the main villains (commonly) and other animals being the heroes.

[Fat Guy]

Just picked it up from The Catalyst  store.

True though the formula is common enough, I didn't notice. Bucky O'Hare has a similar setup only with toads instead of apes. The plot beat also comically parallels the Battletech Animated Series only with animals.   

[Atlas3060]

Battletech really does feel like touching all of our old stuff to say "We are eternal". I applaud.

Captain Simian and the Space Monkeys has simians for both the protagonists and antagonists, if you can't get enough apes from other sources.

I do miss that show, Malcom McDowell's puns were stupid but fun.

Gotta get that thing fixed...

Well it’s April 1, wonder what the April Fools joke book will be this year. I love the joke books and think they are some of the best and fun writing Battletech has.

There’s a reason animated monkeys have been coming up in the chat this morning.

[Wrangler]

Bagged it!  Funny as heck.  Love 404 error code art.   

[I am Belch II]

Cant wait to read Clan Spaniel book.

[GRUD]

Captain Simian and the Space Monkeys has simians for both the protagonists and antagonists, if you can't get enough apes from other sources.

A Friend/Brother of mine (lost to Cancer Jul '23) said he LOVED that show.  Used "Spacemonkey" as part of his email address for years! 

[Weirdo]

Oh good lord, they managed to use this to explain the Genecaste! 

[ColBosch]

I'll have to pick it up later this week. How long is it?

[Atlas3060]

I don't know which is more disturbing, this or the fact that a substantial political gain for the Crusaders is because of this show. 

[Weirdo]

50 pages, which includes the transcript of an episode, a history of the series, and a handful of scenarios based on the characters.

Impressive for $2.

[fishfoode]

Has Combat Manual Davion been released? Last I heard it was supposed to come out in March but I haven't seen any further word about it.

[nckestrel]

Has Combat Force Manual Davion been released? Last I heard it was supposed to come out in March but I haven't seen any further word about it.

Not yet.

[Istal_Devalis]

So...did I miss it in my skim of the book, or did they miss a beat by not giving us a camo pattern for Clan Spaniel? :D
