The delay in IlClan is fine
Well, in my opinion the delay is ridiculous. I doubt that surprises anyone. But I think that it's a little shortsighted to focus on just
IlClan now that we know about the Milestones books. What I'm waiting for, what I have lost all patience in this long march towards, is not just IlClan, but simply for the plot to move forward. Any book that does that, has my dollar.
Anyone look at the map from FM3145 and start planning the invasion waves?
Not quite. What I had done is go sifting through every scrap of information that TRO 3150 gives us, trying to scry and infer the fortress-down event from dates and actions given in the book. It's PROBABLY past 3148, because TRO 3150 gives us this under the Juliano
During a lull in 3148, the Red Keshik challenged the First Free World Guards for Jumpship Repair Services at the illium Shipyards of Ionus
And if there was a major action going on, if the Clan were striving towards Terra I doubt that such a period would be referred to as a "lull"
And we know the fortress walls are down no later than January 21st 3150, thanks to the date of the foreward written by Tucker Harwell
