Наёмники за Лис. А против, если присмотреться, ягуар и снежный ворон.

Внезапно. Появится в феврале или позже. Создан The Army Painter и Catalyst Game Labs. 1 грунтовка для нанесения кистью, 5 "скоростных" красок, 1 металлик, 3 варпаинта и стартовая кисть.
Ориентирован на цвета Домов, но легко покрасить и кланы. Вроде как 50 баксов.

Catalyst Game Labs is pleased to announce the long-anticipated release of ForcePacks for three of the most beloved mercenary commands: Hansen’s Roughriders, Northwind Highlanders, and the Kell Hounds. These join the previously-announced Eridani Light Horse Hunter Lance.

Friendly Local Game Stores are the backbone of our hobby, where we gather to play as a community. Holding that backbone together are the distributors who warehouse and ship all the games we love.

Those distributors played a crucial part in the massive resurgence of BattleTech. In an effort to support and expand that relationship, we have partnered with three distributors across the United States, giving each exclusive access to a ForcePack for the first few months of release.

Below each ForcePack description are the names of the corresponding distributors where they can be ordered, along with a contact linkl you can take to your local store. That way you can help your local game store connect to a distributor and order these ForcePacks for you and your player group!

DOMINIONS DIVIDED

Across the reinvigorated Federated Suns, the call goes out: the time has come to retake the jewel of New Avalon from the Dragon, and throw back the Draconis Combine invaders. But the demands of war and politics will test the fragile alliance between First Prince Julian Davion and Prince’s Champion Erik Sandoval-Groell, and threaten to renew the chaos they seek to conquer.

The Rasalhague Dominion, so long a bastion of stability and internal harmony, greets the news of the ilClan’s accession with anything but a united front. Between those who believe that joining the newborn Star League is the Dominion’s destiny, and those not willing to deny the power and promise of their fusion culture, a single vote could secure a bright new future, or ignite the flames of violence.

Dominions Divided is a BattleTech sourcebook providing full details of the events within the Federated Suns, Draconis Combine, and Rasalhague Dominion from 3151 to mid-3152. Included are a full historical summary of events in those regions of space, personality and unit profiles of key players—many appearing here for the first time–and game information along with a glossy campaign map to bring it all to your BattleTech tabletop.

Неужто косолапым отключили абсолютный сюжетный иммунитет?

[petras]

Жесть конечно

И вот еще немного мякотки

приходил к федам зверёк и побелее, да попушистее.

Только вот фронт у них был с двух сторон всего, и с третьим точечно. А сейчас кольцо.

В кои-то веки приличные арты по всей книге и в цвете.

BattleTech: Lethal Lessons

A PACK DIVIDED…

Clan Wolf has gone to claim Terra to fulfill the promise made by Aleksandr Kerensky centuries ago. But for those left behind, their story is a very different one…

Star Captain Jacinda of Clan Wolf Is one such warrior. Stuck on Campbelton in the Wolf Empire due to injury, she commands a sibko training facility while stewing over her lost chance to go with the Wolf touman to attain glory in the campaign for Terra. But heroism comes in many forms, and when a new invader targets Campbelton, Jacinda is able to unleash her primal warrior nature, and defend the Wolf’s pups against all comers…

Неужто косолапым отключили абсолютный сюжетный иммунитет?

С учетом того что

единственное голосование может обеспечить новое яркое будущее или зажечь пламя насилия.

и общей популярности мишек.
Я бы предположил что отключение сюжетного иммунитета сведется к тому что после замеса Доминион останется при своих без яркого будущего.
Причем замес будет по меркам прочих фракций легким и вялотекущим но на фоне долгой стабильности смотреться внутри Доминиона будет как ужас-ужас-ужас.
То бишь можно в книгах от лиц зажравшихся мишек поописывать адЪ и конец всего сущего.
А там глядишь какой то идиот к оным мишкам сунется чтобы хватануть чего под шумок пока они грызутся...
Причем сделает это напав на ту планету где как раз начинается главное Испытание Выбора Пути или как мишки это обзовут.

Глядя на карту границ Федов чуток удивлен тому что драки воевали их до столицы этаким длинным языком сбоку.

Ну из сурса следует что замятню притушили, включив законы военного времени. А в порядке демонстрации окружающим, что таки мишка еще жив и брыкается - откусили кусок от драконии, не дойдя до Лютиена пары прыжков...

По-моему логика подсказывает, что в условиях падения межзвездной связи становятся возможными обходные маневры в межзвездном смысле - точечный удар по неприкрытому (слабоприкрытому) направлению с движением в сторону цели, пока до вражеских штабов дойдет новость о том, что это именно вторжение, а не рейд, и по твою душу придут серьезные пацаны - ты успеешь продвинутся достаточно далеко и укрепить захваченное. Доказано Кланами во время вторжения - поскольку КомСтар тогда фактически глушил связь с планет попавших под удар, и новости о нападении доходили пони-экспрессом, если какому-то джампу удавалось вырватся из атакованной системы

Just messing around in Photoshop, Spliced the maps we have so far to fill out the 3152 Map ontop of the 3151 Map.

[DELmar]

Только поподробней поглядев на карту, я понял, насколько отстал по таймлайну. Драки на Новом Авалоне??!! "Да ну нахер!"

[Маленький Скорпион]

DELmar, уже нет: выбили. А так да, было дело.

For when an invading mercenary force assaults a massive Draconis Combine prison complex, the Light Horse warriors are faced with the choice of risking their lives to defend convicted prisoners. And while the Eridani Light Horse has never shied from a mission or a challenge, repelling the invaders will try them in ways they could never have expected…
