Back in the day this was one of the best series made in the past decade. If you are interested in reading something, read chapters 1-19.

+1 ... Definitely a good series to read!

Also, "Marion's Misfits" by Slade Geance

Just adding my 2 c-bills to this. I'm reading the first story, The Wages of Honour and it's really good. And this is coming from someone who finds the vast majority of BT Fic to be wince-inducing drivel (official stuff included).

Reading through the first story and I am unable to locate images or info on the 'Camelot' mech and the 'Star Destroyer' tank. Can anyone help me out? Or were these made up for the story?

[Redburn]

try this..... http://www.tro42.com...=CAM-A1_Camelot

Cheers. He also mentions a 'Bifrost' but it appears to be some sort of C&C vehicle rather than a mech

This story, right here.

I just wish i had the patience to write something this detailed.

Anyone know where a full download of the whole thing can be found?

EDIT: oh crap i just bumped.

This is what i get for not visiting the forums on a regular basis.

The Camelot and Star Destroyers are custom creations done with TT rules. As are the VTOLs they pick up late in the series when Laide's Hawks become Warders. If memory serve me, everything else is from a TRO (including the Baltic Seranade Seeker dropship and the aerospace fighters). In a few instances I changed weapons (the two Bushwackers of Lawman and Ranger have different loadouts) and they have a Vulcan that is highly modded plus Gracie's Awesome gets changed partway through to have ER large lasers to make room for a C3 unit.

The Warders are using a non canon sorta Comstar C3i / C3 system. In the second series on Carver it is discovered that ComStar stole the early designs of the DEW C3 system and made it slightly better a few decades before John Linna fielded the prototype version with his unit.

It I merged all 18 chapters into one word doc it would be just under 2 megs. Not sure what I would get as a PDF. If there are a few of you that want one big doc (or maybe I might cut it in two) then maybe I can find some web space on my company site to host it for download.

Oh yeah, Bifrost is a command and control trailer. Basically I liked the images of a mech command center from the Mech Commander games and used that as a basis for the Bifrost trailer. I was unaware of any official reference to a vehicle named bifrost at the time, and choice the name for the nordic mythology connection.

Having grown up and living in Sweden, I realy liked the "genuine finnish"-feel of the series. Small details like the description of the medal-posts and the saunas that really could have made a finn reakt like the Warders. If you feel the inspiration, please continue writing !

Thanks and take care !
