Double Cover
I'm idiot. I didn't see the individual cover for issue one. I do think there should be something on top thou. -- Wrangler (talk) 09:25, 30 May 2020 (EDT)

Various issues
I have removed the superfluous "Contents" chapter headers. Beyond that, I have two more major issues with this article as it currently is:
- I don't like how the entire product infobox is repeated for every issue. There is hardly any data in the infobox to begin with, and what little is there is very repetitive. I suggest using the BattleTechnology article (or any other magazine article we have, really) as a template and simply give the cover under each new issue's chapter header.
- I strongly disagree with treating non-story content as fiction. I agree that there should be article links to individual short stories, but I do not consider pieces like unit digests or in-universe news snippets worthy of having their own article. We're not doing this for the content of any other magazine either, and the resulting articles are stub-level empty. Unless someone can give a really good reaons why we should make individual articles like "Mother of Resistance" Dead on Vipaava, I shall delete those articles and put their content into this article.
