I'm sure it'll get revised art eventually.  And honesty, I don't think it's that bad.  The art in 3060 was in general a big step up from 3058.

LRM Carrier (WoB)

http://masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/1953/lrm-carrier-wob

Recent revision of the Conversion Rules saw the downgrading of the Indirect Fire value to follow the non-Artemis value, and this one looks like it slipped through the cracks.
3x LRM20s (with sufficient ammo) should be 3.6 net damage (1.2 per launcher), rounding normally to IF4 instead of IF5
This should only offset the OFV (and also PV) by 1, or from 35 to 34.  No other adjustments at this time.

OFV ~24.2
 Damage (3+[5+5]+5)
 +4 for IF4
 x1.1 subtotal (c3 connectivity)
DFV ~8.25
  6.6 (tracked vee)
  x1.1 for TMM+1
  MF +0.75
GFB +2 (MHQ)

manual estimate PV = 34.2 ~ 34

Great writeup, and I have a soft spot for the HEL - wish it got better artwork than it did in TRO: 3060. It's not a bad mech in a heavy lance with other people covering for it - a lance of a Helios, Crusader, Marauder and Cestus offers plenty of long-range firepower that can then be exploited by the SRMs of the CRD and HEL.

Ranna adjusted the cooling vest, her now SLDF Olive Drab Warhammer’s weapons had been disabled by a software lock until she completed her Trial of Position. Star Colonel Kerensky found it cumbersome to carry her bondswoman around, thus Ranna found herself on a lengthening leash tied to her bondholder or her Hellbringer. That Omnimech was configured similarly to Ranna’s Warhammer, and she couldn’t shake that was likely a purposeful choice. Her leash even extended to the Mech’s DI computer, locked as it was in low power mode with just enough sensors to operate safely and a remote kill switch.

Antares City looked more like a ruin now than when she had landed nearly a month ago before Katya’s forces defeated them. She looked around for familiar insignias but found none, most of them had redeployed to the forward operating bases the Adders established after occupation. Mongoose Epsilon Galaxy had fully deployed their ground contingent of lightweight high speed Mechs for which they were known who moved in strange bird-like formations across the cleared ground.

They passed by a high razor fenced area that looked much like a POW camp. Some prisoners milled about in the square under the close observation of watch towers manned by auxiliary infantry. To her relief they didn’t seem to be in overt distress, but they did stare at her Warhammer. Their looks which filled her with guilt at having the privilege of watching TV in a comfortable college dorm when not doing Katya’s gopher work while they suffered. She whispered to herself, “I’ll find a way to get you out. Don’t give up.”

The airspace above the Starport was thick with aerodyne Nova Fox dropship freighters and the spheroid combat transports of the 37th Strikers and Epsilon Galaxy. Green and Red running lights revealed their presence in an otherwise light disciplined site as the freighters pulled into their established parking ramps. Aft cargo ramps were lowered to disgorging an army of well-drilled quadruped war machines. These machines, the SXR Autonomous Battlemechs, followed a signals truck to the marshalling area before setting down like so many big cats at rest, their bug like camera arrays followed Katya and my Battlemechs as we passed between them.

The only thing that she knew about them was that they were the same types of robots that had exterminated the 12th Star Guard, utterly fearless, and equipped with some of the most advanced weapons and sub-systems in the Touman’s inventory but possessed limited tactical acumen. Katya didn’t trust them preferring Drones under the control of operators rather than Scientist’s projects, knowing Diana Pryde that seemed reasonable.

At Central Command Asa Taney presented his grand plan to stop the Wolf Dragoons which was good because Alba’s Deep Space Sensors picked up the Jump Signatures of the Charlemagne, Tokugawa, and Nelson escorting a massive AMC multi-unit task force later that night.

General Maeve Wolf issued her batchall,

Complete Surrender

or

Total Annihilation.

"Hey we have this central tenet of Clan politics, it helps get members to positions like Galaxy Commander, Star Admiral, or even saKhan/Khan.  The Bloodhouse can provide support for those power positions as a voting bloc for their agenda and is required to make deals with other Bloodhouses to expanding votes for initiatives.

But we have this new Bloodhouse founded by the Khan, who while a legend among the Clan would still have some opponents (even if not the Vlad-level of political opponent) and was waiting for his love to get a bloodname to have children.  She gets her Bloodname about as soon as he has his new Bloodhouse, but despite being a Inner Sphere freebirth living on his parent's planet with siblings and niece/nephews decides not to start any sibkos for his bloodhouse.  Does not start any sibkos for his bloodhouse after the spouse dies during a vicious war that wrecks the attempt to restore the touman after the split.  He then dies, and in memoriam the new Clan leadership lets the Bloodhouse & Bloodname lie dormant.  The Inner Sphere's HPGs crash, everyone re-arms . . . and still no Kell Bloodhouse sibkos."

Guess the Warden Wolf leadership agreed with Vlad about Phelan's worthiness?

Available here: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/68p8roygnszkdw4s83rtb/h?rlkey=hqj6s2oeu8faa4g6ejzilzkpc&dl=0

Only two years have passed since the Hegemony Intelligence Directorate took stock of the Inner Sphere, but much has changed. Entire states have fallen, wars of revenge have been waged, and ComStar’s ghosts returned to haunt the people of Terra.

While the chaos swirled, the leaders of Terra have been forced to come to terms with the existence of a power that could rival their own, as Kerensky’s descendants prepare for their return to the Inner Sphere.


The Kapteyn Universe is a Fan Fiction alternate setting for the BattleTech Universe, crafted by many hands across 13 years.

Inner Sphere Supplement: 3034 provides an overview of the period from 3032 to 3034, covering major events, players, and campaigns. Also provided are National summaries, and full deployment tables for every military in the Inner Sphere.

Book Structure:
Inner Sphere Supplement 3032 is a Kapteyn Universe fiction supplement designed to offer information on the progress of the Inner Sphere since Inner Sphere Supplement 3032.
 
  • The first section of the book provides a short look into the history of the Inner Sphere during 3033, detailing campaigns, events and major political actions.
  • The second section moves the narrative into 3034 and utilizes the same format for information as the previous section.
  • The final section provides national summaries for all the major and minor powers, as well as deployment tables for every regiment and WarShip in service.

The Kell thing is screwed up, they should have had some little Kells taking Trials of Position to join the late Jihad but . . .

it's absolutel bafflingly stupid I agree. the idea that the blood house simply is essentially absent makes ZERO sense.
