Hey everybody just wanted to let you know that Field Report Free Worlds League and Jihad Turning Points Liao are now available for download. While I'm not all that interested in the Jihad setting I must confess I got the the Field Report. Not too shabby!

Its a great look at the former Free Worlds League.

Also its Dark Age Turning Points:Liao rather than Jihad, the first book set in the dark ages featuring the CCAF invasion of Liao homeworld and the RAF defenders who opposed them.

I found the McCarron's Armored Cavalry Battalion make up interesting, its from the 2nd Regiment and consists of a Light mech Lance and lots of Hover Armour with some Battle Armored Infantry in support.

Why doesn't it sound really McCarron to me?

And that isn't all as many PDFs were made available today. A Time of War: The BattleTech RPG GM Screens came out today although I'm not that excited about that. What does look interesting is Experimental Technical Readout: RetroTech and Field Report: LAAF. Plus earlier last week I received word via e-mail of an updated TRO3058 for download. Off to read more now!

I believe the update on '58 was just the rebranding and errata.

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.

I'm curiuos:
How detailed is Objectives Capellan Confederation? Does it list the surviving factories and their products or just the surviving factories? Are perhaps even production facilities for components mentioned?

Well, we finally learn what the capitals are of every Duchy in the Confederation and have full planetary stats for every industrial, command and logistics planet in the confederation, 43 worlds in all.  Some have additional information regarding them.

Every type of site alos has the terrain and climate noted for game play needs and there is an extensive How To section at the back for creating games out of the material provieded. Then, every type of unit produced, at every factory is provided, as well as every corporate and academy logo in colour.  Additionally, there are details on every CCAF Duchy RTC facility.

Also, for the WarShip nuts there are details on the Capellan program's status and future.

Historical turning Points: Mallory's World is available now.

Well worth the $5 as always.

I think I might be the only person who has zero interest in Mallory's World. My interest for the 3rd/4th Succession War era is gone. It's been covered to death, and the storyline needs to keep moving forward. Grognardism will only lead to the death of this already dwindling population.

All that being said, this is totally the right way to do things. There are still pieces available for folks interested in that era, but it doesn't overtake the main product development.
