WizKids staff [[:File:Goddard DAVE comment 2.PNG|hoped to get the film polished for use]], perhaps at conventions. It is not clear when the film was finally released. Archived versions of the DAVE School website hosted only the trailer for in-site streaming for several years, but started to include a MechWarrior.mov (lost to time) for download in mid-2007 alongside full film credits; full versions of the film started to appear on YouTube in late 2008, sometimes linking back to the DAVE School. Eventually, the DAVE School put the film up on YouTube itself in 2014. ==Canonicity== The film was officially licensed and was made with the involvement of WizKids and official BattleTech writers, but was a student film made by an outside organization, and its release date is unclear. It is most safely treated as apocrypha. The events of the film were later covered in [[Shrapnel Issue 16]]. ==Summary== With [[Milton]]'s defenses overwhelmed by the [[Wolf Hunters]], the [[Republic Armed Forces]] prepare to withdraw what they can from the planet. The Wolf Hunters move for the spaceport, and the two forces battle. Republic DropShips narrowly escape - leaving Paladin Mandela and several other RAF combatants behind. ==Featured Characters== * [[Anastasia Kerensky]] * [[Otto Mandela]] * Star Captain Ivan Ward * Colonel Barrett ==Featured BattleTech== ==Featured places== * [[Milton]] ==Gallery== <gallery> MechWarrior AoD Film Poster.jpg|Official poster </gallery> ==External Links== * [https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=kSJNJ0JCaRc The 2006 trailer] * [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VfRy0DFcRYY The DAVE full film upload] [[Category:BattleTech Universe Products]]
