I have to say, that the pages just kept turning. Although a 48-pg story is not that short, the pages turned too fast for me. #P
The plot is very interesting and I second Midnightsun in finding the Reunification War period more and more attractiv. Just have to buy the sourcebook in DTF now....

 [applause]

This is the kind of thing I want from BattleCorps!

Well written, gritty, emotive and a load of little nuggets of info about the universe like colour schemes of units etc.  [rockon]

Sitting at work and looking at the BC homepage, it is hard to resist not to open part 2 and start reading....

i have to say i liked this story a lot. Viola seems like a very tragic character IMO, and though you want to hate her for being ridiculously stupid (she re-wrote the book on leap before you look) and essentially executing some of her soldiers, i also can't help but feel sorry for her, and in a small way sympathize with her, though perhaps not encouraging such radical actions.

i also ended up liking heinrich a bit. i still see him as the worst kind of yes man, but he was put in one heck of a tough situation. i also wish i could have seen more about lopes, he has the making of a cool character, though i do understand he wasn't intended to be anything more than peripheral.

also, nothing wrong with the commander of the tamar tigers piloting a commando, that is friggin awesome!

Though based on relatively well known facts, I've liked how has come this one. Thankfully I didn't remember the full details from the Steiner SB, nor read yet my copy of the Reunification War SB, so it could keep a thrilling interest up until the end.

My only 'but' is having a story in which the narration goes back and forth published as a multi-part release. It doesn't helps to follow the action, though I suppose one can ever wait until it's complete.
