Just saw this on the main page.

~~Is this implying that the values given in this first installment are BV1 and not BV2? If so... WHY?!~~

EDIT: Woo! The title is fixed! :)

No. It means that this is version 1.0 of the MUL:BV list. All Battle Values will be using the current BV2 calculations.

What Ben said.

A blog will be going up shortly, that will explain things in a bit more detail.

Best,

Every available unit can be found on it :D ;)

I'm kinda bummed that this is a PDF exclusive.

I would like a paper copy because I meet with other players at FLGS and we don't always have a computer handy to look BV up. At at least 100 pages long, it's a bit expensive to print off.

Anyhoo, I've still very happy it's coming.

If you are complaining about the price to print it, you would not be able to afford a print version.

That's probably a good reason why there isn't a paper copy available. ;)

I thought that's what it meant, but I did scratch my head at first. You guys need to hire a title consultant! Master Unit List 1.0: Battle Value, or Master Unit List: Battle Value (ver. 1.0) would have been a bit clearer. That'll be $49.50 consulting fee for the titles. Each. [legal]

The real question, besides the obvious one of when is it coming out, is what is the file size of this jewel?

Only 2MB.

Ray, one of our layout gods, worked some of his magic on the project. 208 pages and only 2MB in size.

Oh no. They've made FASAfizzicks in reality. We're doomed.

He must have cut all the Tetatae units :)

Can we get a Master Unit List: Battle Value using BV1 as well?

I like the Rim Worlds Republic, Clan Smoke Jaguar, 12th Star Guard, Chesterton Commonality . . . what can I say, I like things that have been erased from history.

Man, I'm looking forward to this! Thanks for the hard work CGL!

I told you that Herb would notice those.

You guys keep on doting on those, and he'll probably nuke the Locusts, too.

Given the nightmare that the MUL has been so far? I seriously doubt it. The closest you'll get is the Faction lists in the back of Combat Operations, but they've got a fair few errata.

My thoughts exactly. I was thinking "There's no way they'd be using BV1 values instead of BV2..." but that is one misleading title slapped on there.

I should say I'm looking forward to it nonetheless, and even more so now that I know it will, in fact, be BV2-based.

This is like how the Dasher Mk.II with the 400XL is sold for a loss in order to make PROFIT, is it?

Stormforge · « **Reply #23 on:** 22 March 2011, 18:31:59 »

Really looking forward to this. As I look forward to pretty much everything Battletech from Catalyst. [notworthy]

I think he was joking.

So happy this is digital. Print copy would be a nightmare to actually use, like those phone books I keep recycling every time I find one discarded on my doorstep (if you try to print it, you'll probably find that out yourself). Only wish a spreadsheet version were available too.

Anybody else notice it says first installment? What else could they have planned for it to be the first installment?

Glad to see it is coming. Can't wait to get it.
