New to the list, and I was just curious as to what the next book or two is
supposed to be for Full Thrust?

Oh boy.

Unofficially, based somewhat on stuff read online and heard at shows:

Next book for FT may be Fleet Book 3, when there are enough new models to
justify a whole book, at the moment there are only one complete fleet, the UN,
and several incomplete fleets (IF, OU, ORC, FCT, Japan). There would probably
need to be at least four complete fleets before there can be another fleet
book, but depending on
whether there are many new rules/weapons to be included there may
need to be more than four fleets to fill out a book the same size as the
previous two.

On the other hand, Full Thrust 3 has been mentioned, but is probably not going
to arrive anytime soon.

Welcome to the list Jason. (more welcomes will follow no doubt when dawn comes
up across the pond)

As to your question. Well it's a contentious issue. As a ground pounder I
would like to see Bug's Don't Surf for DSII as the next book from the great
GZG empire or even DSIII, the Vac heads may disagree!

Idle speculation says: Probably Fleet Book 3, "Other Human Fleets", probably
including the UN, Oceanic Union and Islamic Federation, plus maybe the Outer
Rim Confederation, Japanese, and whatever else Jon carves in the meantime.

New rules and weapons are expected to include something special for the
UN, maybe spinal/capital ship weapons, hopefully something with sensors,
conceivably more extensive campaign rules, plus the other stuff I haven't paid
attention to.

But FB3 may not be the next publication. Could be FMA Skirmish, could be DS3,
might be Bugs Don't Surf, could be [Deleted by GZG Security].

There's only one person on the list that knows, and he ain't talking.

My passionate desire is for Bug's Don't Surf, or DSIII. Or FMA. We've had two
space books in a row,
and us ground-pounders are feeling a wee bit
neglected.
