Has anyone devised some army list for CLA for the Mexican Revolution?

Thanks

Battletech Question, Are the plastic mechs in the 25th anniversary edition the same quality as the ones in the newest Battletech into box?

Wow… the Bug hath struck again! As to your question, D6 Junkie, I've read that the reprint of the introductory box included mechs that had been retooled and/or produced with higher-quality plastic. Here's a comparison shot from Beasts of War (old on top, new on bottom):

Thanks Javelin!
I think I'll stick to the new ones.
I need another box or two for Alpha Strike

The pic doesn't do them justice- the older ones are not appreciably better than the original plastics. The new are the same as those in the Alpha Strike lance boxes.

Agreed. I have both sets and while the earlier ones were not great (but usable) the new ones are dynamite.

I do have to say, the dry-erase record sheets are brilliant! I remember back in the late 80's when we would put our 'Mech record sheets inside plastic page protectors to achieve the same effect.

Wait for the upcoming intro box(which was supposed to be out already…), it has revised versions of the classic "unseen" 'mechs, and not the "Project Phoenix" redesigns, either!

Retzlaffmd, I'm afraid your information is bit off, the existing introbox is the only one currently available and likely to be the only one for sometime. A new Alpha Strike intro box has been discussed but is not even on the product list yet, also all of the Classic unseen mechs have not been done yet, only the artwork for 7 of them has been shown and only 2 miniature prototypes have been previewed.
Still a long way to go yet I'm afraid.
See here for more info on the classic mini's link

It was supposedly on the ACD or Alliance pre-order list for Q1 2016, according to my LGS owner, but of course, it's up in the air if it'll be out during 2016 at all…

I haven't seen any talk lately on the official forums about aalpha strike boxed set. Last I heard things were still in the maybe stages of development. How ever the AS Combat manual: Mercenaries should be out at the end of this month
