Or maybe it does! It's the start of the month in-campaign, which means it's market time. Hopefully I'll be able to replace my destroyed vehicles, and if not, pick up something cheap that I can sell for more later. Sometimes you can get lucky like that, finding a 'Mech for 20% off.
Before all that, though, I have meaningless fluff to bombard you with! In this specific instance, it's actually company specific fluff, because while my time lately hasn't lent itself well to actually playing the game, it has to other, slightly less complicated activities. So, without further ado, I present you with the Hard Light Brigade Commendation List and Order of Preference. This is totally awarded solely by me, and the game doesn't track it at all. For ****s and giggles, essentially. First off, the highest award available in the Hard Light Brigade: the Blue Light Award for Valor.
