luec,

A corps is two or more divisions, so six divisions could well make three corps. In this case, remember that Pointblank begins well before the end of Flashfire, so there are things that happen in the first half of PB that happened before some of the things in FF. Also, remember that Billie _planned_ to have three corps, which could well mean that, similar to what Dan said, the third corps might not be planetside yet.

So put that in your pipe and toke on it.

And when you get to Firestorm, bear in mind that what happened in the second half of PB hasn't happened yet at the beginning of FS. Oh, before anyone asks (or did we already cover this?), one of the Force Recon squad leaders has a cameo in FS.

I don't think we have covered that, but that isn't to say that we didn't.

thank you for the answers. I'm just going to assume that the grunts info was not current or the additional 3 divisions were reserve units that are on there way but have not arrived in system. and david can you tell me at what point in pointblank should we considered to by reading about events that occurs in firestorm.

Sorry, I somehow didn't see this question earlier. I can't say there is a specific point. FR is running its own ops in general support of the main garrison at Bataan, and there's infrequently direct cause and effect between the two. Actually, Pointblank can be more easily read as a solo book than either of the other two Ravenette campaign novels.
