But I'd rather FASA had given us say, 150 years, to play out the succession wars instead of going straight from 3025 to the clan invasion in 25 years.
Yep, I agree, waaay to short
I think the real problem was they fiction basically skipped the entirety of the 3030s AND 3040s outside of the 6 months of the Wo39.
We got 2 Trilogies & some Single novels to go from 3024-3030.
Then 1 Book Jumps around & covers the previous years AND shoots us all the way to 3040 or so.
And BAM, then its 3049/50 & a new Trilogy.
I know they wanted to keep things "big & splashy" to essentially bring back that lost SLDF army, but, I certainly wouldn't have minded if we got a couple more single novels.
Say, something covering the Skye Crisis of 3034/35 that delayed the Wo39 by 5 years.
Maybe a book dealing w/ the inner workings of the CapCon during Romano's Purges.
The Early/Mid 40's conflicts in the Dieron region as the FC/DC continued to jockey around for a few worlds, or maybe something like the Kell Hounds Ambergrist event.
Or the MAC on Marlette in the 40s
I also feel like there was also something about the Kathil Uhlans on the CC border in the 40's too, from a BT Mag article.
Point being, several of those would follow characters we saw in the Warrior Trilogy & could have made a few stand alone novels to give us some fleshed out stories from that 20 year period outside of 1 stalled out border clash that resulted in a total of less than 10 worlds change hands IIRC.
