Upcoming Releases Volume XV: Pitter Patter Let's Get At'er

[I am Belch II]

Always like a TRO even if I have the books already.

[slh]

Always like a TRO even if I have the books already.

lol I know, I had to do some math to figure out what to put in, to give what I wanted.

[Wrangler]

I wonder if anything new will be put into the book or if record sheets will be made for the add-on/new variants.

[Greatclub]

This is speculation on my part, but based on what they've said about TRO CI, in the past, this is a product for noobs; basically reprinting bits of a bunch of older products to get them available.

There was some new stuff in Record sheets succession wars, but that was not received well by experienced players (Grognards) who viewed it as a cash grab for to get them to buy for a bare handful of variants.

[Wrangler]

It's too bad if that's true. Due to this shortage anything new, having couple new record sheets variants would be nice.  I'm very very grateful for the Activity Book and i know my friends do too!

[Atlas3060]

Big thanks for the activity book. My kid will love it.
I'll just have to teach him that Daddy's TROs are NOT the activity book too.  ;D

[GRUD]

Personally, I always find it HILARIOUS when they do that, ESPECIALLY since CGL Usually makes it Pretty Well Known that it IS basically a Reprint.   ;D  But "Fans" gotta have something to whine about.   :P

I'll be getting the TRO:Jihad in PDF AND DTF, even though "I Already Have Them", JUST to support CGL!   :thumbsup:

[Wrangler]

I recently bought technical readout succession Wars and Clan invasion. I'm doing my part!  :thumbsup:

[SteelRaven]

A friend go me TRO: Clan Invasion for the holidays. Considering I lost my original books a while back, I really appreciate how much is in the one TRO.

[Cache]

Bonus points to the person who made the faction symbols (in the activity book) vector graphics. No fuzzy edges when you enlarge them!

[BirdofPrey]

Civil War Era is getting skipped?

[SteelRaven]

Civil War Era is getting skipped?

There is so much overlap Between the Clan Invasion, the Civil War era and the Jihad, I'll be surprised if we miss a unite between 3 TROs vs 4.

[Sartris]

Civil War Era is getting skipped?

CI took stuff up through TRO: 3067 and this Jihad volume will reach back into the clan invasion stock so it seems to be getting covered indirectly.

Maybe a little more fluff for some ONN designs.

[Wrangler]

Civil War Era is getting skipped?

Like others said, they were slammed into TRO: Clan Invasion.   Phoenix Reseens are in that book along with others books.  Jihad going likely include samples TRO3075 & 3085. Which is going include RetroMechs/Primitives which were reintroduced.

As side note, i notice the Phoenix Hawk included in this art work is Plot's work which i think looks little different than the official one we got from Shimmering.  Still awesome but its different!  Really cool way show off this stuff!

[Sartris]

this volume is going to include a swath from 3050 all the way through 3085 (see the description in cubby's post above). it's essentially CI: Part II with the surprisingly small group of modern mechs from 3075 (did you remember there are only fifteen non-age of war mechs? i didn't!) and an unknown cross section of 3085 stuff (republic units or nah)

[Greatclub]

That would require them to do research, and read the description. I've failed to do that a time or two myself. (cough) TRO:3057 not being aerotech 1 (cough)

[ANS Kamas P81]

Will TRO: Jihad have the new lineart that's been put out recently?

[Reldn]

Always like a TRO even if I have the books already.

Agreed. Truth be told, I fully intend to pick up TRO: Jihad even though I have all of the respective books. I've always been a sucker for TROs for some reason.

[hf22]

I hope we get another 3rd Star League intro, even if the rest is straight reprint. They are always fun.

[SCC]

:yikes:

was expecting one of these around con season.

ditto on the toddler getting coloring pages today

I'm guessing that CGL is guessing that there isn't going to be a con season this year, despite how far off it is they probably have to start planing for it now, along with making bookings, so their plans are probably being scaled back.

[Sartris]

that's a fair assumption.

the announcement lists the pdf and hard copy as coming "very soon," which means it's been in the works for a bit. rare that we didn't even get a wiff of it sneaking up on us.

Origins has already announced that May 1st is when they're going to decide go/no go.

I can't realistically see it happening this year.

Gen Con still may happen.

Not intentionally - just a lot going on, and this one was kind of humming along in the background. It's very close to release, and I realized we'd never actually announced it.

So, not meant to be a "surprise" release by any means. But also, this pleases my desire to announce product MUCH closer to its actual release than we historically have.

[Cubby]

Civil War Era is getting skipped?

As a TRO like these, yes. I have some other plans for trying to do some Civil War Era stuff in other products.

Cubby,

Will TRO: Jihad use new KS artwork for 'Mechs where available?

[DarkISI]

Cubby,

Will TRO: Jihad use new KS artwork for 'Mechs where available?

Linebacker and Night Gyr still use the original artwork, haven't checked anything else (not even sure, the new artwork for them was available when it was edited for release).

[Adrian Gideon]

Will TRO: Jihad use new KS artwork for 'Mechs where available?

No.

[Sartris]

is it safe to say then that the text will remain unchanged as well a la Clan Invasion?
