FIGHT WITH CONFIDENCE

Shrapnel: The Official BattleTech Magazine drops you right into the action as BattleMechs and their pilots forge ahead on the battlefields of the 31st century and beyond! A rookie MechWarrior fights for independence during the Andurien Wars. The Fox Patrol finds itself on the Mercenary’s Star—and in the middle of a deal gone wrong. In these pages, you’ll travel to a distant Periphery world where a young boy pursues his dreams and witness a rare moment of unity for Clan Fire Mandrill in the Clan Homeworlds. Then return to Solaris VII once more for the conclusion of our Vengeance Games serial, and a close look at a different but familiar kind of competition on the Game World.

No matter your skill at the controls, you can wade confidently into battle with technical readouts, a unit and planet digest, a playable scenario of an unusual Hell’s Horses competition, advice for aging warriors, and a historical look at the capital of the first Star League—brought to you by BattleTech veterans and a handful of new enlistees:

Craig A. Reed, Jr. | Bryan Young | David G. Martin | Jennifer Bixby | Étienne Charron-Willard | Alex Fairbanks | Phillip Johnston | Olli Rosnell | David Smith | Alayna M. Weathers | Matthew Cross | Alex Fauth | James Hauser | Daniel Isberner | Ben Klinefelter | Joshua Perian | Eric Salzman
