Okay having gotten this book as birthday present, I finially got the chance to look it over.
The news style reporting is getting old. How about TPTB go back to the older style reporting that gives things in third person and gives us hard data and factiods instead of "what ifs" and "rumors".
The art work is getting better, though the picture on the page between 101 and 102 is a very near copy of Ralph MacGuires Battlestar Galatica painting showing the Cylon attack on Caparia. In fact it's to close in my opinion.
The TRO section in the back was nice. But the Nuke rules well those could have been left out, just like they could have been left out of the game as well. Story line items if they really need to be there, but not for the gamers to be using...really nice munchkin toys TPTB have given power gamers. Oh well.
Over all the book was okay. But it could have been better and again it doesn't, just as the last book about the Jihad didn't, answer or explain anything about the how, why and the money trial etc...so how about we get that info and step away from a book that reads like the nightly news?

Supposly these new rules give you several nuke types...some changes but still these things are game enders...

So the only real use for them is to stuff them to the part of WoBlin where the sun doesn't shine and let them explode. I wonder when will the NuFASCAM ammo be introduced

Well, isn't that sort of the whole point of nuking? To just put things to an end...

I`m curious as to weather any of you who GM have ever used a nuke as an incentive ie break through and disable a nuke scenario
or in an other form find it for your own use or to smuggle one out of somewhere???

How large is that TRO section; how useful?
Which other new publications have got new designs in them? I'm talking about other things than the TRO line, obviously.
