Many details in this book thus seem odd or are outright wrong; see [[The Fox's Teeth: Exploits of McKinnon's Raiders#Notes|Notes]]. ==Description== ==Description== − As the second scenario pack ever published, '''''The Fox's Teeth: Exploits of McKinnon's Raiders''''' describes the members and adventures of one of [[House Davion]]s most famous units: [[McKinnon's Company]] of the [[7th Crucis Lancers]]. In addition to the unit's history, composition and a short description of House Davion and some important planets, the book presents ten solo scenarios and a mini campaign to replay some of the Raiders' most exciting battles along the border with the [[Draconis Combine]] during the 3020s.+ {{sectionstub}} ==From the back cover== ==From the back cover== Line 46:

Line 53: *** Scenario IV *** Scenario IV − ==Notes==+ [[Category:Books|Fox's Teeth]] − * The [[Udibi]] campaign against [[Wolf's Dragoons]] is set between 1 and 7 May [[3029]] in this book, but this cannot be correct as the Dragoons went to work for the Federated Suns in 3028. The [[Wolf's Dragoons (sourcebook)|Wolf's Dragoons sourcebook]] established the Udibi battle to have occurred in [[3027]], and the novel ''[[Wolves on the Border]]'' describes the Dragoons' viewpoint in some detail, as well as repeating background details, a brief appearance of Captain [[Frank Woomack]], and a mention of [[Ian McKinnon]]. As of 22 June 3027, Woomack and other Dragoons have been captive for more than a month and the Udibi raid was planned in early April of that year, suggesting the date range from 1 to 6 May remains correct and only the year had to be corrected. − * The book introduced the world [[Kesai]] (spelled as Kasai) as a planet belonging to the Federated Suns since the fall of the Star League in contrast to the more recent [[Handbook: House Davion]]. Similar problems exist with multiple worlds on which they fought at the border to the Draconis Combine during the Third Succession War. − * In the scenario "Fight for Depot 217" the Raiders battle with elements of [[House Liao]]'s [[4th Tau Ceti Rangers]] on the [[House Kurita]] world of [[An Ting]] on 1 October [[3022]]. If taken at face value this would indicate the highly unusual situation that raider parties from two Houses simultaneously raided a third House, or alternatively, that An Ting was (briefly) held by House Davion at the time. In a debriefing it is mentioned that the two units actually spent some time together on R&R on another continent on An Ting following the battle. − * Copyrighted 1985 on back cover, 1986 in indicia. − − ==Foreign-Language Editions== − ===Spanish=== − A Spanish edition was published in 1990 by [[Diseños Orbitales]] as [[List of BattleTech Products in Spanish#La Zarpa del Zorro: Acciones de los Comandos de McKinnon|''La Zarpa del Zorro: Acciones de los Comandos de McKinnon'']]. − − ==Gallery== − <gallery> − File:SpanishLa_Zarpa_del_Zorro.jpg|Spanish edition. − </gallery> − − [[Category:Scenario Packs|Fox's Teeth]] [[Category:Scenario Packs|Fox's Teeth]] − [[Category:Spanish Editions|Fox's Teeth]]
