Shrapnel 22 & Strength of the Pack 4 & 5 – Mehr Battletech zum Lesen

Zuletzt aktualisiert am 12. September 2025 von DarkISI

Shrapnel 22 ist seit heute verfügbar und wie gewohnt zuerst das E-Book. Die gedruckte Ausgabe folgt dann irgendwann, wenn Amazon Lust hat es freizuschalten. Ich werde dann hier natürlich auch darauf hinweisen.

Und dann haben wir noch Strength of the Pack 4 das angeblich bereits seit dem 10. verfügbar ist, mir aber erst seit heute beim Suchen angezeigt wird (und tatsächlich auch erst heute erschienen ist, Amazon halt …).

Dazu gibt es noch Strength of the Pack 5 zum Vorbestellen.

Für Lesestoff ist also gesorgt.

Shrapnel 22

HOLD THE LINE!

Shrapnel: The Official BattleTech Magazine is your best fortification for holding firm against the enemy on the unrelenting, BattleMech-dominated battlefields of the 31st century and beyond!

A washed-up Steel Viper pilot in a fragile, ultralight ’Mech runs headlong into Society forces in the Clan Homeworlds, and must use his wits to escape. A Lyran infantry unit deprived of BattleMech support at a vital juncture must hold its position and confront these thundering war titans alone or die trying. And as the Battle of Terra rages around him, a conspiracy theorist in Australia may have stumbled onto real military secrets—but will anyone believe him before it’s too late?

In this issue, you’ll go on a ride-along with a Canopian marshal investigating foul play at a local mining operation. You’ll dive headlong into the War of 3039, where Miller’s Marauders must make a desperate gamble to escape disaster on Harrow’s Sun. And finally, you’ll participate in a branth safari on Lopez, where the vicious, dragon-like creatures are not the deadliest hunters present…

Shore up your defenses and arm yourself with an in-depth look at the merits and dangers of combat journalism, a rundown of the most popular light machine guns in the Inner Sphere, and a treatise on the Capellan Confederation’s most frighteningly effective training unit in history. Then venture to a new battlefield with planet digests, technical readouts, playable scenarios, and more, from BattleTech luminaries and some new blood:

James Bixby, Jason M. Hardy, Kelvin Casing, Scott R. Pyle, Adam Neff, Jack Trimble, Eric Salzman, Russell Zimmerman, Alayna M. Weathers, Alex Fauth, Chris Hartford, Chris Hussey, Daniel Isberner, Edward McEneely, Mike Miller, Craig A. Reed, Jr., Zac Schwartz, Ed Stephens

Strength of the Pack 4

A LIFE UNLIKE ANYTHING HE’S EVER KNOWN…

Exiled from the front lines of Clan Wolf by an unfortunate accident during his Trial of Position, MechWarrior Valt has been sent to the planet of Tiber in the Clan Homeworlds. Unsure of what to expect, Valt is surprised to find a life unlike anything he’s ever seen before.

The infantry forces on Tiber are fully dedicated to the ideals of Clan Wolf, but they also know how to enjoy life as well, which takes Valt by surprise. Faced with this very different way of living, Valt finds himself reconsidering his choices up to this point…and wondering if perhaps there is a different path he should take…

Strength of the Pack 5

DIFFERENT PATHS TO GLORY BRING DIFFERENT CHALLENGES…

The honor paths of Mikila, Tripp, and Valt, three young Clan Wolf MechWarriors, diverge more and more as they continue their various assignments.

For Mikila, her unit wants to find the hidden base of the pirates they just defeated, and she must deal with a new facet of being a warrior—interrogating a captured enemy combatant. When her different approach get results, it also requires her to contact another Clan to get the information they need…without issuing a trial.

Valt is still in the infantry on a planet far from the front lines, and still dreaming of capturing a ’Mech and rejoining his friends. Meanwhile, his infantry training continues, and an accident during a field exercise will test Valt’s ability to command…and bring him face-to-face with the life-or-death choices a leader must make…
