Similar game.
why do I remember Car Wars when I look a this?
I've seen some of the campaign and source books like Battle for Tukayyid, Tamar Rising, Dominions Divided, IlClan, and Empire Alone, as well as Total Warfare. Some are still available in print but others are only available in PDF. Does Catalyst do reprints on the ones that are sold out or will I be consigned to buying the electronic versions?All of the listed books, and all other books released as hard cover, are currently in print, it just takes time between print runs, and since fulfillment is about to start for the Mercenaries Kickstarter the most recent print runs have been sent to the fulfillment centers and the copies left after fulfillment is complete will then be sent to the normal warehouse.
I thought those were from that game that was streamed during GenCon. Dominions or Domination or something like that?The game that was streamed was BattleTech Command, the minis for that are Battleforce scale and do not include the units seen in the Liya international video.
Friday, and I bought a box of KFC chicken for us. I cook my own gravy and mash taters, plus make my own slaw too. The third world country I'm in doesn't have the damn biscuits, so I'll just stick with the mash for carbs.
Agreed.
I never minded the Fox being a Corvette/Transport & loved that they went full production at multiple yards to make it "common-ISH", for a 3050's warship anyway.
It made sense to me when you have 200 Mech Regiments & ZERO Warships, that your first Warship actually work w/ said Regiments.
What did bother me is we got a pair of big specialized cruisers after that, 1 per realm, and no "Fleet Destroyer".
I can handle that we didn't get a "Fleet Corvette", since our "Corvette" was a "Transport" but that lack of a Destroyer really takes away your "Patrol" ship.
1. LOL, Love #1 Hilarious & dead on.
2. Agreed on concept, not sure any nation in 3050+ is even close to that, no one since the SLDF has actually pulled that off I think.
3. My thoughts on the FC fleet is their attempt at a PSN would have been Destroyer based. Its not as cheap or numerous, but nothing in 3050 is truly as common as a Vincent or Lola. Nor does any nation have the materials to be tossing out ships that lack Collars. They all need them to pull some measure of double duty or require escorts since they really can't afford to have WS deployed at the "Squadron" level. And as mentioned the Suns have a history of DDs being their Go-To ship class. Fox/Durendal might have been a similar planning as Robinson/Davion(II), only maybe smaller?
4. Maybe if the Jihad didn't happen & we got to see continued growth they could have gotten to that point
Not entirely sure why the OG-Mjolnir & the Avalon were 2 different ships really as I don't get the point of multiple "similar tonnage" frames.
At least not in 3060. Maybe the Avalon w/ its Fuel Tanks & DS was going to be a "Fleet Tender" for several Destroyers? IDK.
5. What are your thoughts on the "Tracker" as a "Fleet Corvette"?
The similar Size & Docking Collars has always made me want to see the Merchant Shipyards covert over to Trackers.
Not sure how well it would actually work as a Corvette but I just like the idea of using those shipyards.
