BattleTech: Shrapnel, Issue #9 (The Official BattleTech Magazine) - BattleTech Magazine, #9

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.
