'''''Front Lines''''' (subtitle: '''''BattleCorps Anthology, Vol. 6''''') is a print anthology of nine short stories previously published via [[BattleCorps]] throughout 2009, plus one previously unpublished story (''[[The Discovery of Command]]''). It was first released at GenCon 2016. As usual, it also includes a foreword ("Forward") by editor [[Jason Schmetzer]] and an "About the Authors" section.

After the publication of this anthology, the BattleCorps website would publish its last story (''[[Permanent Losses]]'') in December of 2016, and went offline a few months later. The line of print anthologies continued in 2017 with ''[[Legacy (Anthology)|Legacy]]'', which was however published as a BattleTech anthology, and not under the BattleCorps moniker. It was not until 2019 that a proper seventh BattleCorps anthology was published (''[[Kill Zone]]'') which was in turn listed as both the seventh BattleCorps anthology, and the eighth BattleTech anthology.

''Front Lines'' was republished in a print-on-demand format in August 2019, with a new cover.

== Notes ==
*The book as offered in Print-on-demand format had erroneously expanded ''Son of Blake'' with parts of the story ''[[The Loyal Son]]'' (which is a sequel to ''Son of Blake''). This was quickly discovered and a corrected version was uploaded that includes (only) ''Son of Blake''. ''The Loyal Son'' was included in the follow-up anthology, ''Kill Zone''.
