Is this crystal blue and white digital camo now the official Arcturan Guards paint scheme? (Previously solid white)
It was in the Legends book and now on the cover of Tamar Rising.
Not a fan tbh... it looks a bit too digital, i.e. being a texture applied by digital artist on a PC rather than a paintjob applied to a war machine by ground crew.
What's the status of Coventry?
CWM is mostly destroyed at the end of The Anvil, which is another reason I consider this a pyrrhic victory at best. It is yet another blow against the already diminished industrial power of the Commonwealth.
And that's almost the only type of success the Lyrans enjoy these days: surviving. If they are lucky. Maybe Hesperus II counts as a little better.
However, what's needed is an apologetic wall of steel victory, actually crushing a substantial force of a long standing external rival and/or conquering an important target.
Tamar Rising looks like yet another secession scenario where a victory feels pyrrhic once more.
Hey Lyrans. Just popped by to say hello, and hope you folks
make the recovery you're long overdue. Despite past rancour
I think you'd find, a sizeable amount of us Feddies....wish you
well.
The Commonwealth and the Suns are natural allies: minimal shared borders, relatively compatible cultures, and a huge common enemy (Dracs).
From a purely strategic point of view, an alliance with the Capellans would make sense, too, but that never happened for good reason.
