Description

For over forty centuries, mercenaries have plied their trade and been instrumental in toppling empires or holding the tides of war at bay. And as mankind expanded to the stars, soldiers of fortune rose to new heights of power. Business is booming, yet along with those riches comes a dangerous life and the scorn of many who see only filthy lucre-warriors. Its a dangerous life, but as long as you keep your Mech intact and your bottom line balanced, the universe is yours!

First in the Combat Manual series, Combat Manual: Mercenaries is a faction specific sourcebook designed by Catalyst Game Labs for the Alpha Strike Game System and it’s expansions including Abstract Combat System found in Interstellar Operations. The source book covers the time period on the cusp of the Clan Invasion, focused on Mercenaries companies working for various Succession Houses and other interests.

The book provides information on various mercenary units operating at the time. The product also contains information to create typical mercenary unit formations using Alpha Strike rules and provides a Mini-Technical Readout featuring previous Unseen BattleMechs which have been re-imaged with new appearances.
