Just got A Time of War. I found it on Amazon for $45.00 so thought why not get it. The weirdest thing is that it says it's the fourth corrected printing (copyright 2023).

Corporal: Were under attack general.
General: who's attacking?
Corporal: Those 25 Urbanmech Mechwarriors you offended last week on Solaris.
General: That's....unfortunate. Could you remind me what I said to offend them?
Corporal: You said their Urbanmechs look like Locust-1Vs Sir.
General: ahh... I remember now.

Yep, that's me!  My name is in a few other rule books like that too... :)

If I ever retire from Active Duty, I may throw my hat into the writer's ring.  Having successfully evaded statutory retirement once, there's no telling how many more times I'll do it... ;)

Several of those names still come to the forums.
But so many don't anymore. I kept seeing nicks in there "Oh yeah! I miss that guy...!"
The solution is just ignore Paul.
