Just got Issue 12 of 'Cry Havoc!' It has a bit of AT-43 stuff in it. First is some fluff that is pretty good including the Red Bloc material available on the Website. Most interesting are the rules and army list tidbits. The rules are basically what is in the OD set but with a bit more detail -- The leadership rules are better explained. Also some details are given on the Steel Trooper and Therian armies. The platoons are defined but not the significance of a platoon. For example, a ST platoon can have from 1 troop squad up to 4 plus a handful of Striders, support units (?), and vehicles(!). The full weapon tables are given along with points (the same stuff that's been on the AT-43 forums for awhile now.) The ST option heads (available in the expansion packs) are not just for looks. You have to pay APs (Army Points) for them and they give you the 'detection' ability (defined in the full rules). Lastly, there are four new scenarios. Overall it looks good and I think is an indicator of good things to come with the full rules.
