[QUOTE="CC13, post: 43044, member: 1151"] First off, I don't think FarSight count the premium tables as packs, so whatever we end up getting in January would be Table Pack #8, not #10. Also, if what I've gathered (mostly through this forum) is correct, then haven't FarSight all but confirmed Attack From Mars for January? If this is true, then it would almost certainly be bundled with either Firepower, Pin*Bot or Space Shuttle. In any event, here's my take on what to expect from TPA in 2013: January: AFM & Firepower/Pin*Bot/SS: As I mentioned above, AFM has been looking close for a while and these three tables are the most logical bundlers with it, as they all have aerospace themes that would work well with AFM. Pin*Bot would be the most likely if it weren't linked with Dr. Dude by PiN WiZ, but I would probably say to expect Space Shuttle with this one.
