In my on going "just too excited, must share" blogs for A Time of War, we've got the final section laid out and into proofing: Combat. And once again, I thought the best possible way to provide details on the section is to simply list out its table of contents.

And there ya go! (Pardon any misspellings that might have been introduced through my transcription.)

I tend to be an optimist and of course I'm almost always proud of the work we do...but a huge, giant kudos to Herb (since I had very little to do with this book beyond the over-all concept and helping him get moving) for creating what I feel is without a doubt the best version of the BT RPG to date...and fits wonderfully in the aesthetic of the entire line of core books in that everything plugs into each other in a way to make all these additional rules as user friendly as possible.

Ultimately, of course, it'll be your call...can't wait to get it in your hands...
