It appears to front&back as the neckline is lower on the red Maddy side.

It's what I'm thinking too, but would be nice to know

Is the pictures Front Vs Back or two different styles?

It's front vs back, there's only one shirt offered at the link.

Well, it could be reversible. That'd be different....

True...but nothing wrong with a question to verify ;)

These both look fantastic, smoking hot...I'm REALLY looking forward to getting my hands on the ASCE book and PDF...that book is going to be so hot I've pre-booked myself into the Burns Ward at the local hospital!

Colt Ward · « **Reply #641 on:** 03 May 2019, 22:34:29 »

Yeah, Arano looks great. I know what I am reading over Memorial Day weekend.

House Arano looks like it'll be worth the wait. Glad to see some Polynesian influence somewhere in the BT universe as well.

Has the Commander's Edition been previewed elsewhere? I can't recall hearing about this before and it's not entirely clear to me what the actual product is.

just the cover. it seems to be a melding of AS and ASC (with not insignificant changes) so they only have to print one book

It includes all to date errata plus some other changes both minor and major, is much easier to reference, and is laid out significantly better.

This.
If you are at all interested in Alpha Strike, this book is for you.
And even if you're already deep in, you seriously should consider getting it, as it's massively superior to having AS+ASC.

Empyrus · « **Reply #647 on:** 04 May 2019, 03:24:54 »

So, Commander's Edition is like BattleMech Manual for Alpha Strike?

Weirdo · « **Reply #648 on:** 04 May 2019, 08:39:41 »

Kinda, except better. Unlike BMM, it doesn't leave out the really interesting stuff. :thumbsup:

Wrangler · « **Reply #649 on:** 04 May 2019, 10:50:58 »

Are capital ships aka warships related stuff included with this book?

Looking forward to reading House Arano. I love how it mirrors the look of the original House Books, (the border at the top specifically).

Warships in Alpha Strike weren't one of the parts of it I'd call interesting. :-X They're just a wee bit too big and complicated for the conversions to play nice when the basic unit is still "one 'Mech".

Weirdo · « **Reply #654 on:** 04 May 2019, 11:40:39 »

To each their own.

Elmoth · « **Reply #655 on:** 04 May 2019, 11:46:55 »

Now, converting warships to use mech rules in order to have major fleet engagements. We are talking here!

ngl this would probably get me to buy some warship minis

Scotty · « **Reply #657 on:** 04 May 2019, 11:57:12 »

How is that different than the space section of Total Warfare? ??? Warships already fire weapons in bays at a time against ~six hit locations that take 2-6 hits to get through armor.

Sartris · « **Reply #658 on:** 04 May 2019, 12:01:17 »

i'll admit i've never looked closely at those rules - could you get an entire squadron on one piece of paper in TW?

Weirdo · « **Reply #659 on:** 04 May 2019, 12:36:44 »

No, but in Battleforce you can do it if you print on both sides of the sheet.
