I'm looking forward to seeing how QuadVees will work in an Alpha Strike context.


Also, it's been confirmed over on the BT boards: there will be no faction-specific TRO for the Republic of the Sphere. The RAF (and any "associated factions") will be in the print edition of TRO:3145.

Maybe... 8)

Seriously though, the RAF is BAMF IMHO (but I'm partial for other reasons) so you should definitely buy the TRO for the goodies.

That's rather disappointing. I was really looking forward to a full Republic TRO, not something shared.

It could be a stand alone, but combined with the new awesome pilot profiles it really is an awesome product worth picking up.

Many things depend on the paperback TRO

1) How many of the designs will be plain repeats of the PDFs

2) will there be any further info/updates of already released designs

3) How much will it be?  (which is also related to question 1) since I don't want to splash out on a bunch of stuff I already have and only a couple of new units.  I generally buy TROs for the units/fluff which is why I've so far grabbed the 3145 PDFs - the timeline period at the moment has little interest to me - so exactly how much over and above the PDFs in this one is pretty important.

I see the PDFs as a bit of a double edged sword they've given us tons of new units in PDF form but if the paper version is full of repeats and a couple of new units then I can see it not doing as well as previous TROs.

Good thing is the yanks tend to get it before us brits so I'll just watch the forum chatter  :P

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.

Prototyes was realy sly about it, not using everything from XTROs, giving us new never before seen stuff, altered artwork and tweaked stats.

I expect much the same from the print 3145 book.

I'm a little confused on the timeline here. Am I mis-remembering, or was a TRO 3145 Republic said to be forthcoming, and just recently, they've said otherwise? If my memory is correct, that's the part that seems to irk me. It feels like a bait and switch. "Yeah, we just decide we wanted the print TRO ready for GenCon, so fuck you Republic fans." It kind of seems like maybe this could have been mentioned a while back. If it was, I'll withdraw the complaint. I freely admit that I'm not as up to date on the product timeline.

It was always planned to have the Republic material in the 'print' TRO, which will also be released as a .pdf, along with selected material from the .pdf only ones.

So, who (if anyone) here will be going to GenCon, to see if CGL managed to get a few copies of TRO:3145 printed and brought to the convention?
