Subject line says it all. I think I remember seeing TRO: Clan Invasion books at Origins 2019, but I could be mistaken.

Battletech transport rules take a very feline approach to moving troops in a combat zone: If they fits, they ships.

Cool, looking forward to the new book...it would be nice if it came with new art generated from the 3D sculpts Anthony is doing for the new models, but I think I read somewhere that the art would not change from the previous...still, cool to have a new book and I will buy :)

Pretty sure it was stated this would be a compilation TRO and thus reuses art.

That said, TRO Succession Wars had few new pictures, so i suppose this one could have some too.

It were those Freebirth scum of the Seventh Kommando's, apparently 2019 is to early for it to be known that the Clans are coming back... ;-)

Does anyone have the book?  Does it have a future retrospective sort thing to it?  Like from a certain Loremaster of 3250 or something showing historical documents?

Yes, opening intro is set 3250 from Star League Loremaster Roshak.

I always wondered what his tattoos looked like . . . sometimes it kittens playing, other times its a roaring lion . . .

Still think 3250 is a bit too recent. Should be 4250 for a decent break from the action ;)
