Why does everybody think Gauge is dead? Perfectly plausible the Comguard have him prisoner and are trying to extract Vicky's secrets from his brain. The description didn't mention any blood or pain from a bullet, just a bang. Granted Standard Issue Tornado armor comes with an auto-rifle but...

I'm pretty impressed with how this story has gone. Honestly, I was quietly hoping you would bring it to an end after the fight with Theodore Kurita, because I didn't feel there was any good way to maintain tension now that the Cameron name was out and Vicki had let everybody see the...

Hanse outright stated his top doctor could only confirm some relationship to the Camerons, not any direct descent. That isn't anything anyone would care about, there are scads of such people in the Inner Sphere, there are just no direct descendants of Richard. Heck Vincent Davion II married...

I'm glad to see the elephant in the room is being addressed. The ComStar section felt a bit weird to me, it seemed to imply they knew Vicky was a Cameron before the blood test, when the Kurita attack was in the planning stages, with some kind of ait "a Cameron could not resist." That doesn't...

I expect the Eridani Light Horse will react before the Dragoons. The Dragoons are going to have to get the information back to the clans before reacting, and the Clans are going to have to debate whether they want to be under a Cameron again. The ELH, given their whole thing is pretending to...

Per Total Warfare pg 765. Space turns—those where the aerospace action does not occur in atmosphere—represent one minute of “real time,” meaning that six ground turns occur between each space turn. Each hex on a space map represents roughly eighteen kilometers.

Huh, went to go crosspost it there but somebody stole my thunder. ;)

People live longer in BT, Imma quote Jihad Hotspots: Terra pg 166: And they usually see those sights for many days. Terrans are beneficiaries of the most advanced medical knowledge in human space except for perhaps the Clans’ trauma medicine. While Terran medical knowledge has not advanced...

Nah, she found an automated SLDF shipyard that did it all, from mining the asteroid to finished ship. It had been left on and it's been pumping out JumpShips since the fall of the Star League and putting them in a parking orbit for pickup, for hundreds of years. Somewhere, there's a Star...

The heck? There're no WarShips orbiting successor state capitals at this point in time, certainly nothing preventing raids. If there were, the Death Commandoes wouldn't have been able to attack NAIS and nearly wipe out Team Banzai in Warrior: Coupe nor any of the other battles that hit...

What WarShips in orbit over capital? There aren't any WarShips to scan near any capital worlds. To be sure she could, in theory, find some of the hulks floating in space like the Oslo but she'd need months of work just to find them, those ships aren't in known locations like the Helm Cache...

I'm not sure why you think any of those are "points." Gauge knowing about those things means ComStar can find them out via chemical interrogation (which Gauge might well not even remember so ComStar can be moving in secret and Vicky won't know until it's too late) and will move to counter her...

So? D'you think ComStar knows that or will be able to figure it out before they've already sucked Gauge's head dry? And they're fairly likely not to wait long enough for Vicki to have a buildup, knowing as they will in this scenario that she can manufacture weapons at will and reinforce her...

Seras has stated there will be no drones, as it would destroy any sense of danger. Otherwise, Vicky could just blitz to Camelot Command and get a drone controller and pile of working VoidSeeker blueprints, and make Zaniah impossible to invade even for the full Star League in a few weeks.

Ah @%&# Vicky. You forgot ComStar has access to stuff like the Neural Interrogation Computer and Chemical Interrogation methods. It doesn't matter how careful Gauge is, they're fully capable of simply extracting data right out of his head if they decide it's needed.

Reasonably speaking, the guy had to have foreseen the possibility that they would attack so he must have enough forces that he expected to be able to readily win against a Colossus loaded with Royals. That likely means he brought at least double the numbers a single Colossus would have carried...

Odds are the Dragoons have either already infiltrated with an orphan of their own, or are in the process. It always irritated me that WolfNet was somehow better than any house intelligence service (As if the Dragoons didn't already have enough advantages) when Clan Watch intelligence tends to...

I do rather like Catapults, though the K2 isn't my favorite of them it's still a nice 'mech.

Yeah, some readers want ice cream for dinner and won't accept quality if it doesn't give them instant gratification. I find the ComStar subplot quite well done. It presents a nice threat that can't be solved by printing 'mechs and also isn't the same variety as the other threats Vicky is...

Two things, museum ships, not actual working ships which would cost vastly more. Second, they do not use ships as sets. Sometimes external shots are used (More often stock footage) but it's too dangerous to try to shoot using a ship interior and there's not enough space for both actors and...
