Back in 2004, FanPro published an online magazine which was apparently distributed as free PDFs. At first the magazine only covered BattleTech, but Shadowrun was added later.

In the past I found links for what I believe are the first seven issues:

• Battletech Only
  
  • Commando Quarterly #1 – Issue 67-01, Summer 3067
  • Commando Quarterly #2 – Issue 67-02, Autumn 3067
  • Commando Quarterly #3 – Issue 68-01, Spring 3068 (Vol.2, No.1)
  • Commando Quarterly #4 – Issue 68-02, Summer 3068 (Vol.2, No.2)
• Battletech & Shadowrun
  
  • Commando Quarterly #5 – (Vol.3) Issue 1, October 2005
  • Commando Quarterly #6 – (Vol.3) Issue 2, January 2006
  • Commando Quarterly #7 – (Vol.3) Issue 3, April 2006

Any idea how the Commando Quarterly fit with the Demo Teams ?

Did the demo teams create the stuff in the Quarterly, or was it created for them by freelancers ?

I got the impression from the site that the issues were only really promoted to the demo teams, why not market it to the larger fan base ?

One of those issues has source info about Denver to support the Missions campaign, but thats about the extent of my CQ knowledge...
