Love the cover!  Especially the return to the older Brigade of Guards scheme!

They seem to be going through these files at a fairly brisk pace.

I wonder if we'll have long to wait for FM:3145, while we're at it?

Here's a peek at the cover by Anthony Scroggins until then.

Hurrah! They've abandoned the Clown Suit Davion BoG scheme for the more subtle original pinstripe!
* No, FASA wasn't big on errata - ColBosch
* The Housebook series is from the 80's and is the foundation of Btech, the 80's heart wrapped in heavy metal that beats to this day - Sigma
* To sum it up: FASAnomics: By Cthulhu, for Cthulhu - Moonsword
* Because Battletech is a conspiracy by Habsburg & Bourbon pretenders - MadCapellan
* The Hellbringer is cool, either way. It's not cool because it's bad, it's cool because it's bad with balls - Nightsky
* It was a glorious time for people who felt that we didn't have enough Marauder variants - HABeas2, re "Empires Aflame"

I know a number of people who are going to miss the "Battle France" paint scheme, including myself, but the original pinstripe was always pretty sharp.

Perhaps both paint schemes exist in-universe, but for different units?

Actually, it was a rather funny mistake. Haven't really noticed the similarity of the two words before. Will have to use it in a future pun - somewhere. :)

Well, the Gunsmith can only run and fire half its weapons without overheating. It'd be completely broken otherwise.

I count three 'Mechs. One of them an Ultra Light, one a Light and the third a Heavy.
Far from a lot, I would say.

So, does the file have any "associated realm" units, or is everything for House Davion itself?


Not that I'm sure there is a good candidate for associated realm status, since the Filtvelt Coalition already had the Hound in TRO:3145 Mercenaries...

Everything is House Davion as far as I can tell. The amount of Clan tech in this TRO is WOW! I feel like it's raining Clan Tech in the Dark Ages. I want to know more about the Radical Heat Sinks. We also have an Atlas carrying a HAG.
