All I know is that the same "fans" who spent years railing about how destructive the Jihad was, whining about how Battletech never used these kind of tactics...they better spend the same amount of time talking about how awful this book is.

Spoiler: The hypocrites won't.

The 1st Succession War will make the Jihad seem like a small temper tantrum. Perhaps the tech scale "matches up" but the proliferation of weapons is way beyond anything the Jihad could muster.

I'm one of those inbetweener fans disliked the Jihad to begin with but as it progressed my view on it changed and I saw it as a good thing.  I still see the Republic and the events of the DA as being a mess especially the 'wall' protecting the republic

As for the Succession Wars I think the wanton destruction seen on New Dallas and during the Liberation campaign I'd expect the SSW to be more of the same

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.

on of my funniest moments was when the Story series "Betrayal of Ideals" came out written by Blaine Lee Pardoe.  the same Blaine Lee Pardoe that wrote full a quarter of the Clan Backstory, including most of Clan Wolf's History and the little snippets of the Wolverines we go up[ to before that point, and people said he was going against the Canon he wrote.

We Battletech fans are dicks like that sometimes.

Perhaps those people should have complained that, over the years between his 25% and writing Betrayal of Ideals, intervening writers had deviated from his original vision.   :D

Presumably, at least some of those people were complaining that a post-Fall war should not resemble the Fall. So take heart that at least some of them are not hypocrites.

No, has to be the Marlette Association, those bastards have been hiding since before the BattleMech was invented, biding their time and making their plans.

I am seriously going to start lobbying for this. Care to help me?  I am sure we could convince Ken that it is a worthy cause.

If you're going to do that can you try and get the Tikonov Free Republic back please?
