Battletech Double Exposure – Zwei Releases
Zuletzt aktualisiert am 31. Oktober 2024 von DarkISI
Während es dieses Jahr wieder mal kein Halloween-Produkt zu geben scheint, hat Catalyst uns zumindest zwei Releases gegeben, die noch in dieser Nacht erschienen sind.
Zum einen einen elektronischen Sammelband der Founding of the Clans Trilogie und dann noch Force Manual: Kurita. Beides derzeit in digitaler Form, ich gehe aber mal davon aus, dass das Force Manual demnächst auch beim SciFi Trader verfügbar ist. Und die Founding of the Clans Reihe bekommt ihr ja bereits in gedruckter Form einzeln. Aufgrund der Dicke von knapp 900 Seiten ist da nicht mit einem gedruckten Sammelband zu rechnen.
Founding of the Clans Trilogie
THE COMPLETE STORY OF THE FOUNDING OF THE CLANS!
THIS BOX SET CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING NOVELS:
FALL FROM GLORY
100 million dead.
500 million wounded.
One billion homeless.
The worst war in human history is over—and has left the Star League shattered. Jealousy and infighting from the five Great House Lords over who will be the next First Lord has the entire Inner Sphere already teetering on the brink of all-out conflict again.
Against this grim backdrop, Aleksandr Kerensky, commanding general of the Star League Defense Force, faces a terrible choice. Stay, and see the mightiest military ever known subsumed into the Great Houses, lighting a conflagration that may burn even brighter than the terrible Amaris Coup. Or do the unthinkable…
To save the Inner Sphere, Aleksandr—along with his sons, Nicholas and Andery—must leave it behind. He marshals the largest fleet ever assembled to carry millions of people on thousands of JumpShips to head into the unknown. Exodus!
But though the Great General strives to make a fresh start for his people far from the Inner Sphere, old habits and allegiances are difficult to leave behind. Soon the Kerenskys and their followers face threats both external and internal as they search the endless black for a new world upon which they can forge a Star League-in-Exile…or die trying.
VISIONS OF REBIRTH
General Aleksandr Kerensky is dead. The Pentagon Worlds are in flames. The dream of a Star League-in-Exile is over, shattered by civil war. Amid the chaos, Nicholas Kerensky leads those who will follow him into a second exodus to the world of Strana Mechty.
Yet unlike his father, Nicholas Kerensky must choose a different path: He wants to do away with all that was, and create an entirely new order. However, the bounds of society that go back millennia cannot be shed so easily. Resistance must be overcome, and blood must be spilled before Nicholas‘ dream can be achieved. But without his brother Andery’s help, the entire venture is doomed before it even begins.
Brothers, however, don’t always share the same goals. And as more aspects of civilization are purged in the relentless forging of this new society, Andery fears the worst of human nature will arise. Can he find a way forward and stay by his brother’s side or will Nicholas‘ ultimate vision be realized as everything Andery stands against?
LAND OF DREAMS
Two thousand light years from Terra, two brothers leave behind the shattered dreams of their father, the great General Aleksandr Kerensky. For a second time, war drives them into the dark and cold of the void, as the raging conflict engulfs the Pentagon Worlds and the nascent Star League-in-Exile.
For nearly fifteen years on the world of Strana Mechty—the land of dreams—Andery Kerensky has watched his elder brother Nicholas shape an all-new society of warriors that follows their ilKhan with near religious fanaticism. And despite the costs already paid in blood for that transformation, Andery knows the worst is yet to come. For Nicholas will stop at nothing to mold his followers into something never-before-seen in human history. And all with one singular goal: to return to the Pentagon Worlds and punish those that destroyed their father’s dream.
Can Andery continue to be his brother’s conscience, even as Nicholas’ final hammer blows forge the Clans into the great and terrible society it is poised to become? Or will the titanic assault of Operation Klondike, and the Clans’ return to the Pentagon Worlds, shatter what Nicholas has built entirely? And just how far will Andery let Nicholas go to pursue his zealous quest of a united Clan Homeworlds…

Force Manual: Kurita
Some soldiers fight for money, some to spread their version of liberty, still others for a sense of adventure. For the men and women of the Draconis Combine Mustered Soldiery there is only one reason for service: the honor of the Dragon.
From the moment Shiro Kurita raised the Dragon’s banner, the soldiers of House Kurita have remained dedicated to the warrior’s path above all others. For seven centuries they have spread fear and respect in equal measure, expanding and protecting the Dragon with loyalty and honor tempered by the ancient code of bushido and force in battles on a hundred worlds.
Force Manual: Kurita details the armed forces of the Draconis Combine, examining the combat commands of the Draconis Combine and their histories, tactics, unit crests, paint schemes, and notable personnel. This sourcebook includes special rules for unique character abilities, faction-specific rules, force building options, and a mini-Technical Readout–everything you need to field your favorite Draconis Combine unit on the tabletop, or create your own.
For use with Total Warfare and Alpha Strike.
