I saw that too, very odd.
But the shoulder patch is clearly FedSuns insignia.

Julian Davion? Or maybe the (can't remember his name now) Sandoval that is watching over the throne until Julian comes back?

Conservative guess: Harrison Davion?

Ahhh, possibly...

Plus, with the Alaric connection to the Steiner-Davion line, it's completely possible to have facial features in line with other Steiner-Davions, or just Steiners, or just Davions.

Okay now I see it... Who the heck is this USMC/AFFS guy?!

Julian Davion? Or maybe the (can't remember his name now) Sandoval that is watching over the throne until Julian comes back?

I don't know. While I don't see Julian myself I think your idea is as good as any, and better than mine as I can't even decided who to guess at. As to the Sandoval guy, that's not bad either; I think I can get behind that one.

I wanted to say Caleb but then I looked at ER:3145...

EDIT:

Conservative guess: Harrison Davion?

Yeah, that's a good one too...

I think it would have to be either Harrison Davion or whatever that Sandoval's name is.

After thinking about it, I don't think it will turn out to be Julian...the face is all wrong unless he's hit hard harry times.

Its most likely 3rd guy is Harrison given this is Wars of Republic Era.  Unless its a random guy and artist goofed.  We'll find out when the book comes out.  US Marine emblem is weird.   Can't wait for the book to come out.

That'd be my guess. I do recall mentions of him having a beard in the novels.

My guess is that he is a notable character from either Sandoval Civil War or Victoria War.

I'd say a young Harrison or a high-level Capellan March officer from the Victoria War.

It could be there's some AFFS unit that traces its origins through the HAF to a contemporary marine unit.

It's probably the uniform for the 1st Avalon Hussars who became the bodyguard unit for First Prince Harrison Davion after the 1st Davion Guard got their "honored" assignment to Markeson. As for the picture, it's Harrison Davion since the man in the picture shows the shaved neck common to House Sandoval's personal male family hairstyle (Hasek use to have a long mullet until they decided to all become Carrot Top people including Caleb Luvon-Steiner-Campbell-Sandoval-Dead as a Door Nail- Hasek-Davion. Personally, House Hasek should go back to the mullet of Morgan Hasek-Davion. It at the least had dignity.) There is just not a topknot that usually accomplish the look such as with Eric Sandoval-Groell on the cover of Fortress of Lies.  Plus, Eric has darker hair, so it ain't Eric.

And yet not so long ago, there was a four-to-six month gap between products.
You guys are blowing things out of proportion. Just be patient.

For buyers they is no need to be patient, I just wonder that you as company who must sell these items to survive in business is so patient. No need for selling?

???, Maybe they're not patient, but busy with product development and quality control? A bit of an overreaction don't you think?

I refer folks to Neil Gaiman on George R. R. Martin, and remind them politely that everyone who works for CGL has a day job that is much more important and not CGL.

I think the initial idea of this thread was to be supportive, beg for teasers and express eager anticipation.

At least that is how I understood it.

That Kuritan frame just makes me want to get my hands on this even worse.  That grimace just spells something nasty for Kuritan Nova Cats, I know it.

Quote from: Worktroll
Face it - MW:DA had, for its run, massively greater commercial success than BattleTech's ever had. Over two million click-base minis - want to guess where the number of BT minis comes in? I'd guess on the order of a few percent of that. While BT has survived for 30 years, we've never had the same number of players at any point. The pity was that unlike BT, MW:DA ended up being run by businessmen, not game fanatics.

I don't know, but for some reason some song about the halls of Montezuma and the shores of Tripoli is now stuck in my brain.

Also: I've long though a BattleMech with an EGA on it would look kick ass.
