Yes.

Most importantly for me, will all the units in the new TRO have record sheets available somewhere?

~~I'd imagine that there will be RS:Jihad because there's RS:Succession Wars and RS:Clan Invasion.~~
EDIT only RS:SW exists.

Sartris · « **Reply #693 on:** 26 March 2020, 18:11:19 »

There is currently no RS: Clan Invasion

Ok, must've been imagining things then.

Considering it's a compilation, RS already exists. It's new RS that's still a hang up.

Picked up the activity book twice (once as a freebie, then once I found I had some spare coin, threw 4.80 at it. Shared it on FB for all my friends with bored children at home.

Empyrus · « **Reply #698 on:** 27 March 2020, 05:48:30 »

That activity book "Design OmniMech" thing is funny, a pity it doesn't have cutouts of all original OmniMech torsos.
Also, the Warhammer cross-section is awesome.

Its likely that TRO: Jihad will be relaying on previous TRO's Record Sheets with no new variants or units unless the authorities say other wise. This has been the pattern however the releases been going. I think the exception was RS: Succession Wars because it was the starter RS book for new players.

With the announced CV price break, I picked up the 1SW book to read through . . . what is the pair of mechs on page 140? LRM10 in the chest, LL or PPC type in the right arm, and a flamer in the left arm.

Think it is a Von Rohrs, so it isn't really right pic for 1SW. Probably existing art that happened to fit the page well?

EDIT Pretty 'Mech... a pity it is extinct and doesn't have modern variant, would otherwise probably get one for my Kurita force...

There is no RS: Clan Invasion, so there is no second data point to draw a conclusion here.

Sorry i misspoke, i'm saying there was only RS: Succession Wars that was produced from these Era based TROs.

Yup, it wasn't there this morning either. New artwork on some mechs in the record sheets. 8)

Does RS:CI have any new record sheets like RS:SW had?

Cubby · « **Reply #710 on:** 27 March 2020, 16:54:32 »

Nope, not this time.

Deadborder · « **Reply #711 on:** 27 March 2020, 17:05:32 »

It says a lot about the mindset of the new Star League that the intro of TRO:Jihad describes Elias Critchell, Vertvahn Chitsu, Lincoln Osis and Leo Showers as "flawed by wise"

I don't see any after a quick pass, though I could have missed them.

I do see nuSeen artwork on ~~some~~ all of the Reseen (Project Phoenix) record sheets, ~~but not all~~ except one (BH Marauder II). Little odd there.

Greatclub · « **Reply #713 on:** 27 March 2020, 17:51:19 »

We don't know how long this thing has been in the works, and some of the nuseen is years old. Which ones got the new stuff?

Thanks for getting this out to us, appreciate your efforts :thumbsup:

Particularly the fact that they describe Smoke Jaguar leaders this way, given the contempt in which the Jags were held by the other Clans after 3060. Makes me wonder what role, if any, the Fidelis played in that revisionist history.

Or the Wardens being branded as misguided, unwitting traitors to the Clans. Quite a change from the post-Great Refusal years. A history of the Clans and Inner Sphere written by this Star League would make for very interesting reading I think.

The reference to Auditor Clusters suggests that Clan Sea Fox carved out a nice little niche for itself under the new regime.

it sounds to me like the homeworld clans came a-calling

A guy can hope, right?

Corrected my statement. All of the Project Phoenix record sheets except the Marauder II Bounty Hunter have nuSeen artwork.

But only the invaders were referenced.

Doubtful but possible. More likely the other way around - Reunification War II being waged against the Kerensky Cluster and across the Deep Periphery. A truly universal Star League being forged this time.

Hopefully we will get an update on the Home Clans and the Imperio in the near(ish) future though. Maybe something next year for Wars of Reaving's 10th anniversary - a Clan fan can dream, right?
