Damn 'Cat, you should know better. http://bg.battletech.com/books/upcoming-releases/ (E-Pub buddy.  O0 )

That said, we have an existing slate of 8 units for release. We'd likely release more if the series does well.

OpFor is also on the way, but both the Gazette and Milestones are on temporary hiatus while the kinks are being worked out.

Look, dude, when you are a real mechwarrior you don't need to get all dressed up in cooling suits and cool helmets to work on your mech. You just strip down to your 1980s panties and crop top vest and start wrenchin' it.

...and don't tell what to do. I snuck an Airplane! reference into Technical Readout 3085 Supplemental that not even Herb has caught.

So while you all are waiting on the first Spotlight On volume, go buy TR3085 Supplemental and see if you can find it! ;)

Cool cheers

Curiosity ages ago on Battlecorps there were WarShips, and maybe units, in profile released I think to subscribers were these ever released publicly?  (when I say ages ago I mean months)
My three main Alternate Timeline with Thanks fan-fiction threads are in the links below. I'm always open to suggestions or additions to be incorporated so if you feel you wish to add something feel free. There's non-canon units, equipment, people, events, erm... Solar Systems spread throughout so please enjoy

I second this sentiment. Thanks to AG and the rest of the CGL team (incl the freelancers and volunteers) you guys are "making Battletech great again!"  >:D
Incoming fire has the right of way.

The only thing more accurate than incoming enemy fire is incoming friendly fire.

Of course I didn't! TR3085 was another project I completely delegated to others.

Same answer as usual- if Catalyst hasn't announced it, then that's your answer. Continuing to ask the same thing over and over won't make them change that policy.

It seems to me that refusing to go where you know the news will be and instead driving a large group of people(whom you also know won't have the news any earlier than you would) up the wall with the local equivalent of "Are we there yet?" repeats will not get you anywhere good.

There are more TtS on the way, and the first Spotlight On for sure. Maybe more.

I can confirm some forward movement on TRO: GC and the first Milestones.

This week has been a good week for BattleTech.

Hi Bob,

I can't provide that information at the moment, but GC & IT do enjoy slightly different formats for each other. I can also only speak to GC specifically, the dev for IrregularTech may be able (or willing) to offer more information at this stage.

As GC moves further along I'll provide little snippets where I can.
