Fan Articles / Re: Mech of the Week: Turkina

I just got a Turkina miniature today with the Clan Heavy Battle Star force pack.  Admittedly I got the force pack mainly because of the Kingfisher and Ebon Jaguar :D  But the sculpt is gorgeous, a huge upgrade from the past!  The front torso profile reminds me a lot of a Galaxy-class star ship from Star Trek.

Omi and Victor, at least. I don't think we've seen Victor share his concerns with his family or friends. Of course, with Hanse still alive and Victor more involved with governance and bureaucracy, there certainly is less opportunity for Katherine to accelerate her journey towards a throne. She's also much more involved on the Davion side of the F-C, so there might be an opportunity for her to exploit any dissent (among the Draconis March especially) about focusing too much on the "Lyran" problem of the Clan front and not taking the golden opportunity of ending the threat of the Combine for good.

It certainly is not a problem now, but I expect someone ten to fifteen years from now lamenting the fact that the AFFC didn't go after the Combine when they were easy pickings. And if it comes to that, Katherine could seem like the patriotic, "Davion" alternative to a Victor that served in the Lyran Guards, spend much of his time in the Lyran half of the realm and holds close relations with the sister of the Coordinator.

Of course, this comes with the big - IF the Clans by then are not seen as an existential threat but just another player in the IS.

Another week and nothing new.

From what that update said, it seems pretty close to being fixed or fixed enough for the people in charge.

I'm curious if we could submit Arizona's shipping state tax for review as well.  It's fairly complicated, and this doesn't seem to fit.

Is it worth sending a request to review the s/h charges? I'm at 20% of a $540 order ($101).  It certainly is better than the 30% that I was hit w/first.

Looks like the Combine at least as some information about the attacks. But quite possibly not to the full extend.

Canonically, the Combine captured some black boxes during the War of 3039, and was building their own and using them operationally during Operation Revival. They could easily have personnel with black boxes hidden across the Clan occupation zone who are feeding them at least some amount of intel.

And the post-war (counter attack) political landscape is beginning to take form, it seems. Good to know that Omi has an eye on Kathrine and is making her influence felt on Victor. It could backfire, though. Quite possible that if it comes to a confrontation between the siblings, Kathrine might try to frame Victor as being under the Combine's influence to gain support from the Draconis March, among others.

At least this time, they seem to be catching on to... less than desirable developments on KatherineĀ“s part before she starts murdering people.

How does everyone feel about bringing one brawler and one more maneuverable mech?

Is the next game the 19th or is it the deadline for the information?

In many cases, the name was used for a battlemech before the band formed.
