So, this happened.
Handbook: House Kurita has been a long time coming. No one disputes that, and the fact that it is here now is a big deal. It’s so big, in fact, that BattleCorps has brought together a series of stories to celebrate it.
Honor Code: Stories of the Draconis Combine is a group of stories that all celebrate those central themes of honor, dignity and duty that epitomize the realm of House Kurita. We’ve been quiet lately. This is why.
You’ve already read the first story, Philip A. Lee’s “The Face of the Enemy.” By the time you’re reading this, or shortly thereafter, you’ll find Chris Hussey’s “Broken Brotherhood.”
The rest of the intended sequence (though not in any order) are:
- “Harvest of Deception,” by Kevin Killiany
- “A Moment of Honesty” by Jason Hansa
- “Karma” by Chris Hartford
- “Risk of Honor” by David G. Martin
- “A Warrior’s Fear” by Craig A. Reed, Jr.
- “Lady of Steel” by Alan Brundage
- “Family Honor” by Dylan Birtolo
You’ll see these stories publish across the next month or two. And as you read them, if you’re rushing to Origins or Gen Con for your copy of Handbook: House Kurita, revel in the soul of the samurai.

Update on Upcoming BattleTech Boxed Sets
With convention season behind us, the Catalyst team wanted to provide an update on two hotly-anticipated BattleTech products, the “BattleTech Beginner Box” and “BattleTech: A Game of Armored Combat” boxed sets.
Just before PAX West, we were surprised to learn we would not be receiving additional rush-delivered copies of the two boxed sets. What’s more, despite being in near-constant contact with the overseas manufacturer throughout August, it is clear they have not shipped the production runs as expected.
As such, we wanted to let customers and retailers alike know that the two products will not be available by the end of the third quarter of 2018 as we’d planned. While this news is as disappointing to our team as it is to you, we wanted to ensure you had the most up-to-date information possible.
We continue to work with the manufacturer to get both box sets in stores as soon as possible. Once the production run ships and clears customs, we will have a reasonable estimate for a release date of the two products.
Until then, we appreciate your patience and understanding, and your continued support of BattleTech.
