Also, that Empires Alone pic:  those look like House Liao mechs firing on Clan Wolf mechs!

Eh, several of the regiments have been dead for almost a century, my favorite included. A new insignia is completely possible.

@ Cubby.....that Atlas has a Star League Emblem and the Number 02 on it and with that Orion on one of the other high spots with the same Star League Emblem and perhaps the Number 01 on it.....Does that mean the Kerensky and DeChavallier are watching a Star League unit from a High Ground overview?

The AK and AD initials on the mechs would certainly support that. :)

Wow, this thread is blowing up, lol.

Nice to get the 3 outstanding Hanseatic Crusade bits.

RecGuides-  the covers we can see are all assaults, first looks like a Dire Wolf but it already appeared, Warhawk, and the Jade Phoenix which was the original end . . . but the cover of #23 is missing!  Then 24 is the Atlas.

Empire Alone looks really good, I assume that is where Weirdo is looking for the unit return?

The 'Mech on the cover of Rec Guide 19 is the Iron Cheetah from Mechforce Quarterly volume 1 issue 4. A 4/6 moving 100 ton omni. The issue even gives instructions how to kitbash one from a Daishi and a Mad Cat (which is how I recognized it).

What the heck is the 'Mech on RG19 cover? Looks like some kind of Dire Wolf derivative.

Ooh, interesting. Might be a solution to an issue i have, depending...
Anxious to see what kind of thing the Warhawk T will be, along with the newest Atlas. Can't wait...

Tamar Rising and Empire Alone seem to be more like what i hoped from IlClan than the book itself was. Figure i would've liked IlClan more if i hadn't read Hour of the Wolf, which was basically the same thing. Or maybe if IlClan had had more details about what the new Star League will be.
Wonder what other sourcebooks there will be set in the same time period? Figure the CapCon-FedSuns-Terra and the DC-FS-Ghost-Bear fronts need to be covered at least.
Hope this "immediate post-IlClan"-series comes out fast, need info for future force building :P

BattleTech Universe seems like the kind of "starter" book the series is in dire need off. I do wonder if it does offer much for a vet though?

Can't wait for the Brush Wars series!

All in all, looks like a good time for a fan.

In the picture beside Empire Alone text, I see a Regulan Hussars mech (probably the 4th, if camo can be trusted) battling a Clan Wolf machine, and behind it, I'd bet on a Free Worlds Guards (maybe the 3rd ?), as the insigna looks like the ones of that unit.

If it is 3151, they do not know what happened on Terra quite yet . . . unless the Foxes went home and blabbed, but it was not Petr's Khanate that went to Terra.  So it might take a while for news to reach that point.

Will the Foxes really break up as each Khanate decides who are there friends?  Spina? or whoever Petr leads is in with the League . . . a female saKhan of another Khanate gave Julian a metaphorical ride back to the Suns (at the least) and bought more worlds in the FS for slapping the Cappies.  Then you have the OZ and one other Khanate still out there . . . but it was the OZ/LC? Khanate that went to Terra.
