Thanks AW.

No problem!

2005-2006 timeframe sounds about right. It was when I was at the U of MN and in NROTC. I compared it favorably to Proceedings from the Naval Institute.

Well I said I was going to revamp the CSFM so I guess I have to.

I am not a big fan of the combat manuals, all 2 of them. I hope they write the rest. ;D

The House Kurita combat manual changes the standard mech regiment in the DCMS to 124 mechs. I liked the flavor of the field manual that 108 mechs as standard. :-\

The third was written a long time ago, but I guess it's nice to know that someone dislikes my work.

boilerman · « **Reply #366 on:** 04 March 2023, 22:12:49 »

Over all I give them both an "A" but that nitpick is going to eat at me. They are good pieces of work Geoff.

So was there discussion about the FMs? I know NDA.

I do like that you stuck close to the larger unit composition for the the DCMS.

Doc Swift · « **Reply #367 on:** 04 March 2023, 22:19:39 »

I must have gotten that from the original House Kurita book or the 20 Year Update, because I wasn't intending to change anything. Since the CM was set before the FM, I wasn't restricted to its contents. I know I didn't create it on a whim. Likewise for special abilities of units. The Combine FM was set after the Invasion, but the CM set prior to and during the early period of the Invasion. In some cases I tried to bridge differences from 3025 to the FM, but most of the units didn't have specialties and did require formulating them from whole cloth.

The Davion CM was written with the same concerns and intent, though it was so long ago I couldn't tell you specifics about it anymore. The Force Manuals are different, so some changes were required to the old ms, but I didn't make those for the Davion book and thus have even less certainty over specifics than I might have had.

Where is this stated? The sidebar on page 31 shows that a regiment is 108 'Mechs.

boilerman · « **Reply #371 on:** 05 March 2023, 17:55:24 »

Unit Organization tables, p76.

Doc Swift · « **Reply #372 on:** 05 March 2023, 19:03:39 »

I didn't write that, but I don't know how that game-play material is considered, regarding canon.

boilerman · « **Reply #373 on:** 05 March 2023, 19:07:51 »

Well at least I can point at page 31 and say "See."

Slow month at the office, eh gents? How'd the Kickstarter go for everyone? I initially pledged Regiment, ended up pulling back to Battalion and made up the difference with add-ons. Still going to get more minis than I know what to do with.

Horsemen · « **Reply #376 on:** 04 June 2023, 17:21:42 »

I picked up the regiment tier.

I started at Vet, then Company, finally Battalion, then added 50% to that for some packs that were not available to pick as rewards & shipping.
And yeah, soooo many, I need to start downsizing instead of adding.

Charlie 6 · « **Reply #378 on:** 12 June 2023, 18:23:41 »

I went Battalion and then added two Veteran non-digital packages so my boys can each have a box set and a couple of force packs.

Nerd, I wanted to give you a shout out here on this thread regarding your selection to Chief. That is awesome!

Semper Fi,

Thanks, Matt!

Huzzah for the chief!

Mr. Swift chiming in. A rare moment indeed. I hope all is going well for you and for the rest of the High Command.

Doc Swift · « **Reply #384 on:** 30 August 2023, 21:07:47 »

Same to you, Force.

Doc (I feel weird not referring to you as “97jedi” still) I just got around to reading your story in the latest Shrapnel. Really enjoyed it, Seekers are always an interesting read. Planning any more about that character?

Doc Swift · « **Reply #386 on:** 27 October 2023, 23:26:37 »

Hey. thanks! I don't have any plans, but neither have I ruled out anything.

BourBen · « **Reply #387 on:** 02 March 2024, 14:12:25 »

Popping my head in to see if there are still people I recognize.
