THE CAMPAIGN PLAY RULES
Forge your forces and prepare to fight any battle
across the Inner Sphere!
Campaign Operations
completes the core rulebook series begun
in
Total Warfare.
While previous rulebooks
detailed game play at various levels—from a
single MechWarrior, to a BattleMech company,
to entire armies—this final volume focuses on
the forces a player will build and run through
any level of play.
Campaign Operations
contains rules for creating and
running forces, whether a down-on-their-luck mercenary
battalion, or a fully-supplied House regiment. The volume
also contains complete rules for devising solar systems,
allowing players to recreate existing star systems or
craft all-new worlds to challenge each other. The final
sections of the book bring several options to the table for
campaign play. Building off of previous sections in
Total
Warfare
and
Strategic Operations,
the Narrative Campaign,
Map-Based Campaign and Chaos Campaign rules allow
players to build exciting, fun campaigns of almost any
stripe for their newly-minted forces!
