Assembling information on the Mercenary Trade
« on: 02 June 2018, 12:12:44 »
I want to read up on all the information I can on the mercenary trade. I have the Mercenary's Handbook, Mercenary's Handbook 3055, Field Manual: Mercenaries, Field Manual: Mercenaries (Revised), Mercenaries Update I, and Mercenaries Update II.

What am I missing?

there's merc supplemental I, merc supplemental II, and merc supplemental: update. the first two are set on the dawn of the jihad, the the third in december of 3071.

The field manuals have merc-specific updates for the various eras (3085, 3145 specifically)

You are missing the latest merc book, CM Mercenaries . . . its interesting, its a AS book that has some stuff for TW.  I enjoyed the opening fiction, random pilots, and the mini-TRO.
