Actually the book is only sixty years old (my father made the copy), but the translation was taken from an old memory core containing literature in rarely used languages (freely accessible in many war museums around the combine). It's in such a bad shape because he always hauled it with himself in his mech. I don't have to explain you what does the atmosphere in cockpit to a low quality paper like this one...

Maybe that there are more people around. I must admit that I liked the book.

The Art of War is a good read.
Alas, most of our leaders have apparently chosen to read The Art of Cover My Own Arse.

That's the way of survival these days (unless you can summon mechs by practicing some dark rituals).

I can honestly tell you, Necromantic arts don't work on mechs...or pilots for that matter.( Fang then gets a troubled dark expression and returns to his drink)

OOC: Who was speaking about necromancy? Dark arts include even conjuration and summoning of fiends (or WoBlins) from the realms of darkness (most probably from unseen corners of the Inner Sphere).

Not to mention assassination, skullduggery, thievery and other such things best done "in the dark".

Or in full daylight... by two of your enemies, after you 'convinced' them that it's the best thing to do

Well, the grand council never was infested with petty struggles, was it?
What happened when clans voted the new il-khan after the death of Leo Showers, eh?

Ah well I suppose that you make a good point, old friend. But of course I am not a politician. I am a warrior, tried and true. I live for the thrill of the kill. Speaking of warriors, has my commander Motown been around? It hath been many weeks since I saw him.

Aff I still live responabilities of command and all the paperwork of running a Galaxie can be more formidable than any enemy you will ever face on the fields of battle.
