The black cats were mentioned as a regiment too (with only one line battalion, one training and one reserve), and it seems that they've got at least a regiment's worth of striker battalions too

You misread that. Alpha has three battalions, one of which is the Black Cats and the other two are training and reserve.

Wow Jason, didn't know this was released until you mentioned it in the email. Congrats! I've been waiting a loooooong time for this, I need to find time to re-read it and see how it's evolved. :)

And a damned fine read it was too. Looking forward to more Dark Age fiction of this calibre!

I have a technical question. I let my account expire for a bit and just renewed it but part four isn't showing up for me, is there a reason for this?
"Warriors, not war machines, are the backbone of the Hell's Horses. While others worship the BattleMech as the ultimate weapon, the men and women of this Clan see even this awesome piece of technology as the tool it is. We have held to this philosophy since the days of our first Khan, who knew that the value of the common soldier far outstripped the brute force of the BattleMech. It is one reason our Clan possesses fewer mechs than most, and has led many to underestimate our fierceness and courage. Our survival against all challengers when others have fallen proves the folly of such arrogance, and testifies to the wisdom of our founders."

That's weird. The last three pieces of fiction (from top down) at this time are The Marshal Way I, The Nellus Academy Incident 4/I and Redemption Rift IV (followed by RR III and II, and The Gambit in Dream II). When was your account inactive?

just before part four came out, but everything since was in my account. I ended up just buying it from the battleshop, so it's all good.

Schmetzer does a great job with the Dragoons as always.

I just discovered this information.  If I sign up for BattleCorp now, can I go back and read the Redemption Rift series?  Thanks for your reply.
ilClan Wolf - it's about damn time . . .



"Face it - MW:DA had, for its run, massively greater commercial success than BattleTech's ever had. Over two million click-base minis - want to guess where the number of BT minis comes in? I'd guess on the order of a few percent of that. While BT has survived for 30 years, we've never had the same number of players at any point. The pity was that unlike BT, MW:DA ended up being run by businessmen, not game fanatics." - Worktroll

No. Think of BattleCorps like a magazine - you (only) get whatever gets published during your subscription period, plus unlimited access to the news archive and forums. And - but don't quote me on that - I think you get a certain amount of "current" fiction pieces upon subscription.

As a subscriber you can purchase "back issues", i.e. older BattleCorps publications, through the BattleShop. And just like for all other purchases you get a 5% subscriber discount (even though you need to be a subscriber to purchase back fiction in the first place).

If you're specifically interested in Redemption Rift then you're looking at the costs of a subscription (with 1 month costing the smallest amount of money, 6 months being the cheapest per month, and 3 months somewhere in the middle) plus the costs of purchasing the four individual parts via BattleShop.
