Operation BULLDOG provided plenty of honor...

... for everyone involved. But for some warriors of the Eighth Sword of Light, there is much more than combat going on.

this was decent story, i enjoyed it quite a bit. However this was yet again another highly predictable story by this author (i pretty much guessed the ending by page 6 or 7 and was for the most part right) and the editing was especially bad in this story. I'd still recommend it though, but it's no Lyran Fire
"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."

Craig's had another story posted tonite/this morning called 'Thirteen' in case anyone is interested and doesn't want to wait for roosterboy to post the announcement. Pretty good IMO. Set during the days just after the WoB attacked Tharkad around a ad hoc unit of Lyran retirees and a few active soldiers pilot 'Mechs from a rich Baron's private collection (16 Mechs)

I enjoyed the story very much.
A decent mech fight and a good setting.  :)
However this was yet again another highly predictable story by this author (i pretty much guessed the ending by page 6 or 7 and was for the most part right) [...]
Maybe a bit predictable I need a few page more), but this time it was not much a problem.
Ltes take a look at 'Thirteen'.
