Y’know, I’ve been wondering what your thing is with the Flashman, when nothing I could find said that the Lyrans ever made the damn thing, so I decided to finally track down what is going on with it once and for all.
The Defiance page on Sarna doesn’t list the Flashman as produced by any of the three DefHes sites, and the cheat sheet I’ve been using for industrial production in 3025 doesn’t list it either. At that point I was ready to assume that you’d made a mistake somewhere, but the Flashman page did, in fact, say that DefHes makes them. Even gave citations for where to find the proof.
Thankfully, Yellowhammer has a copy of TRO 3039, which does in fact confirm that the Lyrans have kept the Flashman in ‘almost constant’ production, if not in huge numbers. Think I’m going to rule the line’s current status as damaged but functional. Let’s just say that the Dracs got to it when they dropped those ‘Mechs on the factory back during ... 9th Hesperus? 10th? Whichever.
