Good to see BT expanding
« on: February 21, 2011, 04:13:36 PM »
Catalyst just announced that a company in Germany will start releasing BT in German again.  Good to see it keep growing, especially there, where there are so many BT fans.

You know there is something wrong with the FWL, when Word's spell check changes Impavido to Impetigo and Zechetinu to Secretion.

Awesome news.  I wonder if Mechforce Germany, or a descentant, is still active?

Ask Hessian.

And he'll answer...

Mechforce Germany still exists. Although it is in, I believe, in its third incarnation. The current association exists since 1997.

And According to Ulisses Spiele own anouncement they will publish products in Germany in German. :)
They intend to publish the first novels in spring, a new introductory box in summer, and "soon thereafter" TRO's as well as the current rule books(„Total Warfare“, „Tech Manual“, „Tactical Operations“ and „Strategic Operations").

That is something I hope too...(IIRC correctly the last German edition box contained plastic minis, therefore I am slightly optimistic).

Over on the Official Classic Battletech site the coming publication of Battletech for the French market was anounced today.
Ice Hellion will probably be pleased. ;)

Yes even if I don't have any problem with English, it might make my life easier when I try to find some of the newest products.

Bow to the French now?! It's a sure sign of the apocalypse, or that the pundits are wrong and the world economy is improving...

Really, as long as there is an unbroken line of people calling themselves "Clan Nova Cat," it doesn't really matter to me if they're still using Iron Wombs or not. They may be dead as a faction, but as a people they still exist. It's not uncommon in the real world, after all.
