Anything with the previous art is 100% an older (now out of date) printing.
Ok, just checked and you are correct.
Is there any chance we'll get the new text/errata inclusion with the old covers? (I like the Uziel/Battlemaster covers more then the old 80s ish art)
For example, Total Warfare lists the following files for download
(E-CAT35001_BattleTech_Total_Warfare.pdf)
(E-CAT35001V_Total_Warfare.pdf)
The 5001V has the new cover and the new errata (Atlas)
35001 is the old battlemaster cover, and 4th printing.
Might be confusing for people who don't read this thread, to know which version has the errata included in it.
