Kerensky Con Rumors.

3050 for the core book, ilclan for the update section? it'd fit

Where would the record sheets be? I can't see them putting them in the back like the old starterbooks

[Lorcan Nagle]

They said the new variants in the combat manuals would have record sheets in the combat manual

[Spirit Cat Refugee]

So I heard the Jupiter mech in the Falcon pack has already been ixnayed by Randall Bills? Is this confirmable?

The Jupiter is mentioned in the transcript from Friday.

-Plastic Jupiter?  Ray says he doesn't think so, but I'm sure it's in one of the planned sets

[nckestrel]

Extremely likely they just can't recall every single 'mech in the three year plan when asked off the top of their heads. 

[nckestrel]

They said the new variants in the combat Force Manuals would have record sheets in the combat Force Manual

Correct.  There are ~10 record sheets in each Force Manual for the new units that some unique pilots have.
Most unique pilots use standard variants, and those won't have record sheets in the back.  And the mini TROs have standard units and the book doesn't have record sheets for those. For those unique pilots that do have a new, custom 'mech, that record sheet is included.  (Also, for Kurita, some new Panthers that were mentioned but never had a record sheet before).
IE. If it's new to BattleTech from this Force Manual, it's record sheet will be in the back.

Facts.  Yesterday Randall was asked if the Maxium Hover was going to get made.  He said it is Iconic and just hasn't made the cut yet but he is sure it will.  The Maxium is in the Merc box set.....I laughed so hard......In fairness to them.  They have so much coming out and are busy being asked off the cuff questions it isn't really fair to expect them to remember everything of the top of their heads

I wonder if this is CGL deciding to move away from Kickstarter campaigns. I counted 27 packs. I wouldn't mind having more plastic spread out over a few years rather than a big dump of plastic every two or three. I wouldn't have to hide the bank statements from the wife as often.

[MoneyLovinOgre4Hire]

I don't think it's moving away from Kickstarter so much as it's not needed.  The Kickstarter was to produce the Clan Invasion and Mercenaries box sets but we didn't see one for the Alpha Strike box set.

[shivanwurm]

The force packs were already designed and I think early ones were starting to head off to get cast when the Merc KS happened.

With the planned forecast of packs, manuals, and statements, main line will not need a KS anytime soon.

At this point Kickstarters are for the swag. Universe book(especially the collectors edition) pins, dice, patches, Art of War, the cookbook and side games like Encounters or any card game the may try to get off the ground.

You mean the Maxim?  I hadn't heard of the Maxium myself before now.

Any chance you mean the PNT-10ALAG??? 

[Fat Guy]

Any chance you mean the PNT-10ALAG??? 

It has a sheet in Turning Points War of 3039: Vega.

[Teejay75]

What was the board game that was shown on CGL's live stream? It was on a small board and had smaller scale models sitting on top of cardboard cubes. Looked like a cross between BT and chess. I only caught a few seconds of the stream since I was at work.

[CitizenErased]

Nope, that's the 9ALAG - the 10 is still listed on the MUL as having no sheet, just a note describing it as a "faster ALAG Panther" but with no listed BV or AS stats.

Battletech COMMAND

Plural Panthers.  Panthers for everyone.

here's a timestamped link to the playthrough:

As ActionButler says, it's called BattleTech: COMMAND.  It's similar in play style and scope to games like Battle for Westeros and Memoir '44

Yes my spelling mistake

I’ve been pretty psyched about seeing more related to COMMAND since it was first teased and I’m really happy to hear that it’s moving forward again. A Battletech Memoir 44/Command and Colors has been at the top of my wishlist for such a long time that I started to draft my own rules and inflicted them on ActionYoungestKid. The fact that it runs on a dice-free system is great for someone like me who has comically awful luck.

[GRUD]

Isn't that the Plural of Maxim?    

"I'd like a dozen Maxium, Please. With cheese."   

It's a given that they come with bacon, of course.   

[Fat Guy]

Dammit GRUD, you're making me hungry!   

[Weirdo]

It's a given that they come with bacon, of course.   

That seems like a very rude way to refer to allied infantry, and being rude to infantry seems...dangerous.

[Charistoph]

I thought that was what a Maximum was?

That seems like a very rude way to refer to allied infantry, and being rude to infantry seems...dangerous.

And that's why Liao puts Flamers on everything and developed the Plasma Rifle to have a better ranged Flamer.  Bacon is best fried, after all.
