Which really does explain the continued inability of The Tressian Republic to compete militarily. I was always rooting for them, though. How about a sequel where The Republic has morphed to being a good polity with good leadership?

Man, that sounds great. Did Amsterdam and the Netherlands court figure in espionage? What a marvelous subject; can't believe no one has tackled it in detail before now...

Crikeys! How did you know I was wondering about the status of "Robotech: Reconstruction" literally just yesterday?!

Watched yesterday; that was fun. Components look GREAT and happy to see the different take on rules ("How to Play Booklet" & exact rules. Q: sounds like you are including scenarios as well as a campaign? Looking forward to this (definitive?) COIN game. BONUS: LOL "...first coins in COIN game..."

Not germane to this, but I picked up your ECW Conference Essays from Helion this weekend; looks great. Just wanted to let you know your book on Cheriton is available for pre-order over here in the US; I took advantage of a Barnes & Noble deal to lock in a copy. Spread the word and congratulations!

Oh, that story has stayed with me for 40 years....so brilliant and so sad. Tragic, even?

I understand the revamp of Waterstones in the UK (by the same owners) was the model for the US re-do of B&N. My visits to the new downtown store in PHL are always fun.
