Arriving Late The brilliant professor Eion MacCleary of NAIS, inventor of the CEF system, is working pretty hard these days. For BattleTechnology # 16, he meant to include these directions for calculating the CEF of Conventional Armor, but they arrived after we had gone to press. They ar meant to be used with the tables presented in BattleTechnology # 6. In issues to come, the professor has promised Combat Efficiency Factors for Clans 'Mechs. 1) Divide tonnage by 10. Record. 2) Divide armor by 2. Record. 3) Divide Crew Speed by 2. Record. 4) Multiply terrain propulsion rating by crew speed, using TPR table. Record. 5) If fusion powered, add 2 points.

New Releases The biggest news of this season is FASA's new 3055 Technical Readout It hasn't reached our off ice yet, as we reach our deadline, but MechWarriors from all over the East Coast have have been calling the off ice to read us their favorite new 'Mechs. Check this one out, for sure. Almost as big is Objective Raids, FASA's listing for 3055. This one lists most of the desirable production facilities in the InnerSphere, including Clans- held territory. (Inexplicably, it does not mentionthejuicy prize of Tikinov, with its BattleMech Factory and ore deposits). If you want a realistic target for your unit or campaign, this one's a must. The new MechWarrior system has already published two adventures; Unbound earlier this year, and now Bloodfight. Unbound takes place on the Game World of Solaris. Now Bloodright takes Clans characters careering through the Inner Sphere in a linked series of adventures. The newest novel is WolfPack, from Roc. This takes the hatred of Takashi Kurita for Jaime Wolf to its logical conclusion. It also lets us see the tensions inside the Dragoons between Clans-born and Freeborn. From Pacific Rim, BattIeTechnology, the Lost Issues. We tell the story of the Davion front of the 3039 war, and give you usable material for your campaigns. The Thena MacArthur drawing on the cover has gained us favorable comment in itself! This summer we're looking forward to Natural Selection, a new novel by Michael Stackpole which reunites Phelan and Morgan Kell! And before summer ends, there'll be a new issue of BattleTechnology. You wanted us to come out more often - that's just what we're doing. Order your copy at your game store now! Let them know you want BattleTechnology!
