Saw Challenge #72 and Smash-n-Grab in the store today (and I haven't
been in for a while too....) The news in Challenge is in a really
annoying new rococo format that makes it harder to read. Of course,
IMHO, Challenge was one of the casualties of the Rebellion.
On the other hand, S&G is professionally done, and I didn't even see
any typos, which Rebellion-era players will agree is astounding for
GDW. (Now I've jinxed it, I bet....) About five adventures on
different worlds in the AO. The military tone of several makes me
begin to see why we're using T:2000 rules. :)
Aside: In a sidebar, a RC marine wonders idly about the Purple Heart:
"Where did it come from, and who's that guy on the front?" !!!!
The US Purple Heart does have a guy on it -- George Washington.
Is the RC issuing US-style purple hearts? Did the Imperium and/or
Solomani? Maybe it's inspiration to reclaim Terra by the US
quadrimillenial in 1258! (Temporally speaking, this would be like
issuing a medal today with an Egyptian MIddle Kingdom pharaoh's
face on it. I don't blame her for not knowing.)
As far as the store I saw S&G at was concerned, price was $14.
