![]() That doesn't square with him mentioning he's just been assigned to go to Kittery in the encounter. This adds about 30 days to the timeline for having to leave the Aurigan Restoration operational area for Desolate Plains and then return - about 30 days in each direction.īourbon & BattleMechs cannot take place in its sequence in the Flashpoints, because the travel times for all the preceding Flashpoints would place it in January 3027, a few months after Justin Allard loses his arm on Kittery. Liao Alliance takes place in January 3025 (even though this is impossible in the game, the Davions in stasis tubes are a major plot point in "The Sword and the Dagger" and have to be on Stein's Folly by March 3025). ![]() This key date is what requires Coronation Day to start as early in 3022 as possible, and for Three Years Later to be rounded significantly, given the measured travel times between the storyline missions. Showdown takes place in August 3025 (a scene in the House Arano book set in July 3026 notes that they've had 11 months of peace). Three Years Later is actually about 990 days (2.7 years) later. To generate the timeline, I used the following canon touchpoints:Ĭoronation Day is Febru(Kamea's parents died in 3022, and assuming that happened in early January, with a month of prep for her coronation - and the Directorate's coup - the earliest it could happen is February 1). On my second run-through, I tried to map out the exact chronology of the game, vis-a-vis the established BattleTech timeline and found that, while there are some rough bits and elements that don't fit at all, it mostly holds up pretty well. Thanks to COVID-19 lockdown, I've just wrapped up two-full run-throughs of the HBS BattleTech game, logging around 700 hours.
