FYI three books were released (via download) today including Jihad Final Reckoning.  :D

Hmmm... I'm curious: The ToC of Final Reckoning list several chapters pertaining to "Industrial state of....". Do these chapters provide a detailed list of what military hardware each power still manufactures or is this more of a general overview of each factions industrial state?

From what I've skimmed we got a general overview of what is left of the old and the start of the new. There is a list of WoB warships FYI.  ;)

General overview. It's meant to compliment (and update) the material found in the Objectives series. Objectives are dated to mid-3079, FR updates that past the Bloody Centennial attacks (which take out more industry after the fall of Terra) and brings them up to late 3081. If you're looking for a detailed list, the Objectives series is what you want.

Thanks for the answer. Guess I'll have to go for the Objectives then.

Here's the best review I can give it:

The Jihad started with two extremely well-done, fantastic books. Then came JHS: 3072. Unfortunately, then also came JHS: 3076 and Terra. Each was progressively worse, and increased the silliness of Elmer Fudd villains for no discernible reason. Final Reckoning goes back to what made the start of this storyline strong. It hits hard, and doesn't let up. The opening fiction along is absolutely worth it. Also, seeing that the scariest people (and potentially most damaging) folks in the entire Jihad weren't the Blakists is kind of nice. (Thanks Regulans!)

Ok, so how badly is Catalyst bound and determined to screw up my Scorpion Expanses idea?  Does Circinus wind up nuked to the four winds?

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.

They built Caspars, which was already known back in JHS: Terra (and I think JHS: 3076). But they weren't Caspars as the Star League built them, as they never could figure out the neural mapping thing. So, scaled down Caspars, I guess.

Did you use customerservice.catalyst@gmail.com or the quartermaster@battlecorps address? The quartermaster one needs to be removed, as they haven't used that for months now. The contact us page has the correct customer service email address, and I've always had quick responses there.
