A typo, it should be Sjardijn. Its a tour of Paul's house.
Does that mean that we still get to see WMD?

Or how about the mystery package in the back of the refrigerator?

I'm seriously considering getting the PoD of the First and Second Succession Wars.

Can anyone comment on the quality from past iterations of the PoD? Shipping to South Africa will probably end up being pricey.

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.

I would rather see the table of contents . . .

Won't happen, but why spoil the surprise?

I can safely say the book has a solid mix of ground & space units. Lots of game ideas and fleshes out the use of early Clan prototype weapons post-Klondike and pre-Golden Century.

Cubby will probably strangle me, but here are three units definitely in the TRO. He'll decide which one to show.

Quality of the House Arano sourcebook was excellent. Indistinguishable from a regular print product.

~ means "approximately equal" and is weaker than ≈, which is also "approximately equal", but represents a stronger relationship.

like I said, back when I was in math ... that symbol represented 'not/negate' in logic ~p & q was a false statement if p is true and q true.  We may have over used it for other applications.

we always used the double ~ in alg/trig/geo/calc, was much less confusing to not use the same exact symbol for two different meanings.  My advanced math brain is now doodoo, so nothing matters anymore, lol.
