BattleTech: Force Manual: Mercenaries (HB)

Mercenaries have toppled empires and held back the tide of war for forty centuries, and as humanity spread to the stars the soldier of fortune rose to new heights of power. Business is booming — but so is the body count, and the scorn of everyone who sees only warriors chasing filthy lucre. Force Manual: Mercenaries is the book for players who would rather balance a contract than swear an oath.

It profiles some of the setting's most renowned mercenary units in detail — combat commands, histories, tactics, unit crests, paint schemes and notable personnel — which is as useful for fielding them as written as it is for building your own outfit in their image.

On the rules side it adds special rules for unique character abilities, faction-specific rules, force building options and a mini-Technical Readout. For use with BattleTech and Alpha Strike.
