Now THAT'S the appropriate response to baseless speculation! ;D

Sorry guys I read somewhere that BobTech has been delayed. I don't remember who said it but I know I saw it and the person in question was, like important, or something...

Anyway we should all go find a new game because obviously the BobTech staff can't get product out quickly enough. I also suggest blamestorming and fingerpointing. This obviously could be in some remote way positively someone's fault...

I sure do miss the old days. Also, I want rules for fly-fishing but it better not change anything because I want new stuff but I don't want anything to change.

Looks more like a Nova Cat dropship, either way still cool.  8)
It's not about winning or losing, no it's all about how many chapters have you added to the rule books after your crazy antics.

Thanks for all the replies, never thought I would have gotten so many with such a small request! LOL Some of them are also quite funny...

As far as the dropship...zoom in, that's a Nova Cat insignia on the drop ship! Probably from the 2nd Dominion-Combine war.

That definitely a Nova Cat's Broadsword Class DropShip crashing into Nova of Ghost Bears and Elements.  Matt Plog has not lost his touch.  Awesome! 

I can't wait till Historical: Wars of the Republic Era comes out.  Liao Crusades against Republic the 2nd Dominion-Combine War, its going be hot stuff!

Honestly, we are probably going to see Field Report 2765: AFFS (And I hope that the class of the FSS Golden Lion is identified) before Handbook House Kurita (I hope it has a better business section than Housebook House Liao), Historical: Wars of the Republic Era (Victoria War hopefully makes the cut), and of course ilKhan ilClan (Terra can burn to a ceder for all I care as long as an ember of freedom remains on New Avalon against the Dark.)

During the Golden age there was a united force under the rule of the Fisher King.
Then countless bass expeditions and lack of beer caused the Sturgeon Wars.
After a tentative peace was formed a new thread appeared: The Clams.

Powerful and ruthless they struck like lightning, but they made one mistake. They attacked my Home DOCKS!
Is BobTech coming out before Battlecheese has been balanced?

I am tired of companies moving from one product to the next before refining their existing product line. :(

Sounds like it, after all this is just a reprint.
The only new thing I think was the two premium quality Mechs are different.

I don't know if it counts but a its a awesome picture.

I'm not really a Republic-era aficionado, but that picture?  [rockon] [applause] [notworthy]. That was the Chuck Norris of Battletech art!

I wonder what's the 'Mech on the left (that looks a bit like Falconer from this perspective? Perhaps SHY-5B Shen Yi.

That 'Mech on the lower left - isn't it TSG-9DDC Ti Ts'ang?

THR-2L Thunder in the background?

EMP-6L Emperor on the right?
