That is a rumor. We just started working on the project a couple weeks ago after we signed on with AOG. Till then the project, as fun as it was, was simply on hold for over three months. We are doing some last minute editions and edits and working on the most important part: Mechanics.
Janes has been a great source of reference images and data. We have also been supplied information directly from a host of companies (we love you
H&K !). We have also done lots of in the field testing of assorted weapons that demonstrate the difference in calibers.

The Ken Hood section on firearms creation has been removed.
Eric Duckworth will be our dedicated mechanics guru on this project as well as possible future projects. He has done quite a bit a work for Johnathan Thompson over at
Battlefield Press and knows his stuff. Eric is also a Cincinnati native, which allows us for better face to face communication.
I do know the book will be out before the end of the year. With the sleek and sexy Ken Hood cover and AOG supporting the project, I have no fear that you will all see a fantastic product worth ever dime.
As to the exact date, that is up to AOG. Our deadline is October first, so I would imagine sometime after December 1st is realistic. Again, we are essentially a freelance team that is working on this project for AOG.
When AOG gives us the thumbs-up we hope to get additional members onto the Covert Action development team, including writers and playtesters. So keep your eyes open!
Have a good weekend folks!
