I'm putting the finishing touches on the major "CGL at Gen Con" post, so keep an eye out for that a bit later today. There's some things in there you all might be interested in.

Actually...let's do this part now.

Bring the dawn! "Shattered Fortress" will be available in PDF in the first week of August, in print in strictly limited quantities at Gen Con, and in wide release later this fall.

Thats... not a Piranha IIC...

But okay... good job, guys.
I guess...

But... a Piranha is already a clan mech... why would it be a IIC? Silly clanners.  Now a Piranha II C config as an Omnimech that is 40 tons, and mounts nothing but a Box'o'death worth of machine guns... that I could go for.
No-Dachi has a counter-argument. Nothing further? Ok.

Yeah, I was thinking a Piranha IIS . . . it can be the unit they demo putting BA's Recoilless Rifles or even better King David GR's with their BA killing buff.

With that said, I am sitting here waiting for the e-pubs to hit . . . and will grab Shattered Fortress when it drops.

I woke up and was coming to ironically ask, "Hey, When will Shattered fortress  be out?!?"

I'm so happy!

So what west coast fella wants to pick me up a hard copy at GenCon?

Pretty please?

(Did I read that right that you will have a few DTF copies for sale at GenCon?)

Cheers!

Also . . . it looks like the mech behind and to the left is a Battlemaster, trying to figure out what is on the back right . . . 4 LRM15s, 2 on each side.

Looks like the JES II Strategic Missile Carrier.

Maybe they should make a novella about it. Maybe one not relying on legacy characters from out of print novels.

Legacy?  You know most of the MWDA characters put in appearances in Bonfire of Worlds?  Biggest ones missing IIRC would be Danai Centrella-Liao-Centrella-Liao, Yori Kurita and anyone from the Republic.

As for that being a JES missile carrier . . . yup!  I was looking at it with Mech-Glasses, but once you suggested a vehicle the length made sense and the treads no longer looked like a weird shoulder set up.

I would love to hear about a Trial of Possession for a copy of the new Shattered Fortress!  I think it would be a very interesting way to promote BTU.

Is it gallows humor or simple cynicism to point out Cubby didn't say August of this year...

I'll buy it as soon as the PDF hits, of course, but I need to limit my hardcopy purchases to just the boxed games.
