Front Mission 3
Network Information

by Anthony Nguyen, aka Luxion
last updated: May 11th, 2000

Where I am in the game (Emma's Storyline):
Mission 64 (now I'm counting my medals to determine that).

This is one of five Front Mission 3 informative collections by me.  I have a habit
of collecting technical information from strategy/tactical console games.  I do
it for myself, but all that work deserves some attention, so whether you appreciate
it or not, here it is.

This FAQ not anywhere near complete, but with recent knowledge of an official
strategy guide being released for the game, I would like to make my work known
before I become accused of "stealing" information from other sources.

This FAQ is meant for those who have played the game.  It is organized
in a fashion where anyone can look at it and understand what is going on, but that is
just my opinion and optimism.

Actually, it is rather difficult to organize the network in txt format...

Credit goes to Square for releasing yet another great game, and finally bringing
over to the US a piece of the Front Mission universe.  Most all numbers, stats,
technical descriptions, and names belong to Front Mission 3.

Disclaimer :
This FAQ Copyright 2000 Anthony Nguyen.  I went through a lot of trouble to collect
this information myself.  If any information is used from this guide for
reproduction or mass distribution, please mention my name as well as e-mail me at:

[email protected]

ICQ# 4462286

If there any comments, corrections, and/or suggestions, please send them to me!

Thank you for your support.
