Me too. The only Crazy Eights I recall were the Mercs at Coventry attached to the Waco Rangers, but these new Crazy Eights seem to be Avalon Hussars related

Indeed. As I’m not familiar with any 8th Avalon Hussars, I’m very curious.

8th Co., 20th Avalon Hussars.

Wow, a house unit. I think that's a first. All previous units were mercenary related i think with maybe the Republic special ops team.

Sartris · « **Reply #1023 on:** 03 May 2020, 12:35:57 »

Crescent Hawks and Nakiyama’s Blood. Stone’s trackers is RotS which is close

And not a Davion Guard unit or an irregular unit even better the Spotlight products are cool though I've lived them all so far

The Crimson Seeker Star is from Clan Goliath Scorpion. And from an earlier post in this threat we may be seeing more of that Clan soon enough.

Great job with TtS: Rigel K, an interesting world. Nice tidbit of info about the Rigel K unit breaking under fire during the Campaigns of Persuasion while the Terrans won the day - a subtle reminder of why the TH was the Terran Hegemony. Also Little America's write-up made me chuckle at the image of Presidents Wilson, Roosevelt and Reagan winning the 20th century wars with their lasso-tossing and buffalo-riding skills ;D

I enjoyed Touring the Stars Rigil Kentarus.

Reading it I hoped to see an Avalonmax freighter at the back like we got the Wheeler in the previous one but the Castle was pretty good too.

I enjoyed that one a lot.

"Yeah, I got killed by a friggin' torpedo."
"Wow, really? Where were you fighting?"
"Underground."

There's some fun stuff in them!

My comment was specifically for Rigil Kentarus' rules and suggestions for Castle Brian play, also known as, "Every Horrible, Horrible Thing Paul Can Think Of."

I am now intrigued, but suspect this is "you don't want to know" territory.

Look pal...the stuff that man has done to my 'Mechs beggars belief.

"Okay, so you skid, and (rolls) fall into a depth 4 pit. It has a lid, which slams shut over you. That's when the lava jets built into the sides start spewing lava into the pit."
"Uh."
"Do you have jump MP?"
"No."
"Do you have hand actuators?"
"It's a Timber Wolf and I think you know that."
"Does your MechWarrior have a sidearm?"
"I hate you."

That sounds like something Doctor Evil from Austin Powers would come up with.

Isn't that the fortress assault missions in McCarron's Armoured Cavalry?

I thought the corridor with the special roof was cool too very Indiana Jones sounding place

I’m pretty sure people would pay for a book of these and others like it. Make it a pair of books the other with JHB dice roll antics :)

So two things about that new Touring the Stars, which is excellent and which I highly recommend to anyone who hasn't already purchased it:

- Does anyone know what that 'Mech in the art on page 9 is? I'm usually aces at this sort of thing, but for the life of me I can't identify it.

- The people of Riken Minor must be absolutely riddled with gout.

Sartris · « **Reply #1041 on:** 06 May 2020, 02:08:19 »

it's the mercury redesign from the kickstarter

Wrangler · « **Reply #1042 on:** 06 May 2020, 06:17:51 »

Cuddy, i hope you keep writing this stuff. I think one best parts of these announcements is is funny dialogue ypu guys come up to reactions on forums. It really funny adds bit charm for me at least how great the community can be. :D

DriveThruFiction just sent me a notice about new BattleTech fiction..

Colt Ward · « **Reply #1046 on:** 06 May 2020, 09:52:54 »

DriveThru tells me there is new Dark Age fiction? Republic vs Dracs on Dieron?

Fat Guy · « **Reply #1047 on:** 06 May 2020, 10:43:48 »

Without even thinking I downloaded it from Barnes & Noble, when I could have used my coupon code at the Catalyst store.

Oh well, it's still good 'till the 15th.

Wrangler · « **Reply #1048 on:** 06 May 2020, 11:01:55 »

Awesome!!!!! I hope it's full novel, Jason right a seriously good book. I caught up recently bough the Pod-printed Dragoons book was amazingly good. I wasn't a Battlecorp subscriber so i didn't read it when it was coming out.

Sartris · « **Reply #1049 on:** 06 May 2020, 11:07:04 »

i'm only interested in DTF fiction these days so hopefully it will make its way to PoD eventually
