  |
|
The new Steiner book features some new equipment. Can someone give us a quick run-down? Featured are:
Defiance Bluestreak
LC-100 “Astrolux” StarYacht
I'm thinking these are civilian vehicles. The following would be military machines:
Lockheed AB-18C “Roubvogel” Aerobomber
Jormungand-class Bluewater Cruiser
Bluewater Cruiser? Could that be another actual water ship?
What is the book like, overall? Worth the money?

I need to get a new copy, mine had a slight run in with a 4 year old. Seems my niece thought it was a really pretty book so she felt the need to color in it.
Over all it's a decent book and tries really hard to match the old Housebook in format and style.
I will see if I still have the damaged one and if I do I will let you know.

Yes...a 60,000 ton blue navy cruiser that moves 6/9, has around 6 Long Toms in turrets, a few turrets of mixed PPCs and AC-10s, and some SRT's and LRT's IIRC...

It's worth it for the fact that it's an updated House book, it tells what the military production lines are making (not numbers or specific models, but types of 'Mechs, fighters, etc.) and for the various star maps that detail the Lyran Commonwealth at various stages in history...
