Highlights from the Battle Chat held today. There certainly were a few choice bits of information revealed. We have a lot to look forward to!

I missed the first 20 minutes or so. As such, I’ll update this post after the transcript gets out if anything else earth shattering was revealed while I was absent.

GenCon 2008 and other conventions:

GhostBear: a two-day canon game, a major AT2 space battle, several tournaments and the standard boot camps and grinders

Tara_Bills: You should really try hard to make it to your local Cons. We are sending prize support to a lot as well as trying to show up to more than just GenCon and Origins.

[There will be a shiny new hardback at GenCon this year.]

Technical Readout 3039 and the Unseen:

Precenter Martial Emeritus: But after the fan ‘outcry’ we had some very quick and thorough meetings discussing the pros and cons and decided that it actually was better to include them. Worked with the printer to make sure we could include it without pumping the price off the introductory 29.99 price and then raced forward to make it happen.

Strategic Operations:

[The Inner Sphere in Flames rule set] will be overhauled and meshed with the planetary assault rules from Battle Force 2, so it can plug into the Battle Force advanced rules going in Strategic Operations and the Battle Force standard rules in Tactical Operations.

Technical Readout 3075:

Precenter Martial Emeritus: So many products… really… a pile of products are being worked on, many of them that you guys won’t expect at all but I think you’ll go crazy over… fingers crossed… ;-) course, Probably one of the biggest… you guys keep demanding a ‘all new’ TRO… so we thought we’d give you one… look for it a lot quicker than you might think…

We are getting a brand new Technical Readout! I’m excited. Many thanks to the powers that be for putting on this chat. Perhaps, a bit more notice can be given next time though. One hour does not seem like enough if you want to give more fans the opportunity to participate.
