Nice list! As far as Microsoft, if the Windows 10 delay you see in typing in Office products is bothering you, I figured out how to turn it off (it's not even remotely obvious).

A blast from the past. Out of my archives - the 'Mechs I have designed or written about.

The Hussar isn't a bad mech, it's just not an optimized one.

The Thorn, on the other hand...

Much of the fiction behind those early TROs is what helped me get into Battletech, as well as the books. Recent TROs in my minds eye have come along way to live up to those standards. Your stuff is incredible, i wish you were still activing making new Mech's their background still, Mr. Pardoe!

I can only echo this sentiment!

Mr. Pardoe,

I personally love the Grand Titan!

I got four of them painted up like New York Yellow Taxicabs, complete with black and white checkers running down the left side. Who doesn't like a 4/6 Assault with that much weaponry in 3054? Plus it can fire all of it's short ranged weapons and still do that lovely 10 pointer crunch-punch with it's left hand jab!

I refer them as the NY Taxi Service, and in 3090, I've updated it to include a single N11M backed up by 3 N10M's also they are now real taxis... able to carry Mag Clamp BA!

Thanks for these!

The one mech I'm surprised to not see listed as something you created is the Marauder II, given how prominently it was featured in your Battletech novels.

It's not as big as it looks. In the neighborhood of two feet, give or take a few inches.

Looking at the little Tie & A-Wing next to it, I would have guessed twice that size.

As a Wolverine fan, I had to read your blog entry. Good to see that there are at least some ideas floating around, creating a base from which to move forward.

On another point, the title of your upcoming book:

The title is XXXX XX XXX XXXX XXXXXX, right? Either I am totally delusional by missing needed sleep, but the title itself automatically morphed into: Rise of the Wolf Empire..... :D ;D

Probably I am totally wrong but it was a intuitive reaction by my mind....

Anyway, keep up the good work!

You presume those X's are accurate and not a deliberate red herring. I find that amusing.
