Interesting read
I find this a very interesting mix of short stories and the scenario suggestion for the mini campaign is great to. I find this series of shrapnel a lot of fun.

Solid issue of Battletech stories and content. I very much hope to see more of the campaign segments in future issues as it's a tremendous resource.
Would recommend.
