The Duke is the newest “abstract” game I have seen. It has a chess like feel to it – that is if chess can be a hyper squirrel doing back flips. Check it out as Matt shares his box with you.
In a few days we hope to have some sample games up for you or a tutorial. Hope you have had fun.

If you are a Shadowrun fan you probably already know that 5th ed. is right around the corner. Yesterday Catalyst Game Labs posted the story on the thought process of selecting the cover. You can read the story here.
Historical: Liberation of Terra I
$ 34.99 SRP
The Beginning of the End In 2766, decades of careful planning and manipulation finally culminated when Stefan Amaris wiped out the entire Cameron dynasty in a bloody coup. Rallying the might of the SLDF behind him, General Aleksander Kerensky immediately attacked Amaris’ Rim Worlds Republic, before turning his full fury against the Usurper’s “Empire,” launching one of the greatest military campaigns in Inner Sphere history. Historical: Liberation of Terra, Volume 1 describes the early years of the civil war that would ultimately bring about the final end of the first Star League. Covering the fighting from the coup itself to the bloody campaign for the Terran Hegemony, this book provides a hard look at the closing years of the Star League Era, and the fateful decisions that would eventually pave the way for centuries of Succession Wars to come.

BT: Grasshopper GHR-7P Mech
GHR-7P – Based on the GHR-7X, this Grasshopper variant uses a Torso Mounted Cockpit, Light Engine, and Improved Jump Jets as well. The Bloodhound Active Probe is also retained. The main difference is in the weapons mounted on the Grasshopper. Instead of Medium Pulse Lasers and Bombast Lasers, the GHR-7P carries a Large X-Pulse Laser and an ER Medium Laser in each arm while another ER Medium Laser fills the head.
BT: Blood Reaper Mech
The Blood Reaper was built around a pair of CC 6-Rack Advanced Tactical Missile Launchers, one per torso, which provided it with flexible multi-range firepower. At long range they were supported by a hard-hitting Type 22 ER PPC in each arm, while a pair of General Systems Heavy Medium Lasers offered enhanced close-range punch. A three ton ammo bay for each ATM launcher allowed the MechWarrior to carry two tons of each of three of the ATM missile types, ensuring maximum tactical flexibility in the field.
