Place your bets. Place your bets. You, Sir, what do you believe the first Age of Destruction preview will be? Will it be Mech, Infantry, Vehicle or Card?

My money is on a unique mech that we haven't seen yet. Maybe Jacob Bannson's ride or Duck Sandoval's. If they made Kerensky's Ryoken II that would probably top the list to get people excited.

What do the rest of you think? Lets get away from the friggin' Raptor for a while.

When will we actually get a look at the new rules? My bet is on the day of the last sneak peak... we shall see.

Cheers

Hehe, Duck. Fortress of Lies was indeed a wonderful book.

For the sneak peak? I would prefer a new (to this game) 'Mech that we haven't seen at all. Maybe a follow-through on the calls for the Nova Cat or Blood Asp I've seen. I wouldn't mind seeing an Exterminator or Marauder, but that's probably unlikely. Beyond this, heck, the Duck's Black Hawk actually sounds pretty cool.

Hmm, Bannson rides a 'Mech? At all? That's actually a surprise to me. What poor 'Mech has to suffer him as its pilot? :p

I want it to be a Marauder.
:noid:
Then again, that's pretty much been my hopes for a sneak peek since the M1 Marksman one waaayyy back in Augusr 2002.

Seriously, though, I'd say that it's probably a Nova Cat.

After reveling the ultra rare house kurita piece, they're going to have to do something even bigger for the first sneak peak. My guess is that it'll be a brand new uller.


:p

I'm betting on something from Davion like an Enforcer XXII or whatever number their up too. That would be cool.

Also for the suprise I'm still wanting to see the new SEC with some revised wording on some SE's.

It'll proble be set up like the MK 2.0/Hc SPs
1 figure 2 cards

Maybe we'll get really lucky and get two today, after all, the article from last week said there was going to be something extra this week.

I would think it would have to do with either house Steiner or House Davion, since WK is bring back the "Houses." The Duke's Black Hawk is a good guess, but maybe we'll all get suprised and it will be infantry or more gear/pilot cards. Personally, I'd love to see what Jacob Bannson will be driving. Bet it will be something in the Heavy or Assault "Mech style. Bannson can buy the best after all. ;)

If they do show a infantry unit, I sure hope it is a Undine BA. I'm curious about their movement type.

Bannson will probably have a clan mech.
If ol' one eye has a clan mech, why not bannson? :)
A Blood Asp would be cool, but that is more likey to appear in a future expansion set. We can't have all the good mechs in a single set. ;)

We are now eight weeks from the release date: my guess is that we'll get the rules this week.

-Andy_in_Indy,

P.S. I doubt that Sadoval will actually get a Blackhawk. WK has not put Tara Campbell in any 'Mech that we have seen her use in the books.

I think it will be a Quad mech unique, maybe the one the worlds winner got along with the correct cards for it. :)

aside from the Battlemaster, what other mechs has wk put her in? Last I knew, she hasn't had a fig before AoD.

Her hatchetman was destroyed, and the atlas was on loan. She has to appear in something else.

Unless I'm missing something, Tara Campbell isn't actually represented by a piece yet. Besides, Sandoval has only been noted (to my knowledge) using his white and gold-trimmed Black Hawk in the fluff. Placing him in another unit would take some explanation.

Urbanmech.

It has to be the Urbanmech.

I would agree that 1 figure and 2 cards are likely. It's a bit more complicated than it was when MK 2.0 was released because their are certainly more card types.

I'm leaning towards 1 figure, 1 pilot & 1 gear card every week. However, that leaves the planetary condition cards and various faction oriented cards out in the cold. Maybe each week we'll have one that's either a pilot or gear and another that's one of the others. Maybe they'll just give us 1 figure and 2 cards. We'll see.
