::::::: I have 3 of the 4 wave 1 force packs.  The promo picture [https://www.miniaturemarket.com/cat35723.html https://www.miniaturemarket.com/cat35723.html] is an accurate representation of the text on the front.  It also appears on both sides, the top, and the bottom.  So we should definitely label the product appropriately within the article and the article's product info box, but the article name could be slightly different, correct?  --[[User:Dude RB|Dude RB]] ([[User talk:Dude RB|talk]]) 00:32, 21 June 2021 (EDT)

::::::: I long since threw my [https://imgur.com/a/N9J0Qpu boxes] away, but the BattleTech isn't part of the title anymore than it is in Total Warfare. ForcePack could remain the series title with individual product articles being labeled as the orange text reads. My main objective is to separate them from the Alpha Strike Lance Packs and the Iron Wind Lance sets. [[User:MahiMahi|MahiMahi]] ([[User talk:MahiMahi|talk]]) 00:45, 21 June 2021 (EDT)

:::::::: Further grist for the mill: Catalyst Game Labs labels it on its own [https://store.catalystgamelabs.com/collections/featured-products-homepage/products/battletech-forcepack-inner-sphere-command-lance website] as "BattleTech: ForcePack: Inner Sphere Command Lance".  And most retailers also incorporate 'Force Pack' in some form into the entry name (but these vary and retailer namings do not admittedly count as official).  The ForcePack terminology was also used in the KickStarter forms too.  Dmon, while it is possible that Catalyst could change their naming, I think that their webstore would count as an official reflection of naming within their own catalog.  So I don't see an issue with using "ForcePack: Inner Sphere Command Lance" as the product name in the product infobox.  (This is identifying it as the 'Inner Sphere Command Lance' within the 'BattleTech ForcePack' series.  In terms of searchability based on packaging, it will be important to retain the phrase `Inner Sphere Command Lance', but I don't think that that point is in doubt here.

:::::::: One small issue is the space between Force and Pack (is there one space or no space?).  Catalyst (both in its Webstore and in the Kickstarter) seems to be using no space between Force and Pack.  (So it sounds that I will have to resist the natural urge to insert a space.)  Making naming conventions consistent regarding that would be important. --[[User:Dude RB|Dude RB]] ([[User talk:Dude RB|talk]]) 06:25, 21 June 2021 (EDT)

:::::::::  Dmon and MahiMahi, this is definitely fruitful discussion and something that benefits from some rumination.  In terms of the product name, since the current product article titles and product info box names are reasonable, I think that it is fine to leave those as the working titles for the time being.  As further information from Catalyst becomes more manifest, the product name is something that can be revisited.  [I find it a bit odd that Catalyst has only posted two of the force packs on their site.]  As Catalyst pivots these products from KickStarter to retail (and updates some form of catalog), we may get further information that help guide us.
