5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Resource,
This review is from: Battletech Field Manual: Mercenaries (Paperback)
This book is a wonderful resource that gives a lot of history on some of the more famous (and infamous) mercenary units out there. It also gives a huge amount of information on how to create your own mercenary unit and run it. Everything from creating a heroic commander, to determining scenarios, to figuring out monthly payroll! It is wonderful!

A must have for any fellow mercenary!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Battletech Field Manual: Mercenaries (Paperback)
I loved this book! It is a wellspring of information on tons of Mercenary units. I'm a pretty hard-core Battletech player, and from day 1 I've loved mercenaries, especially Wolf's Dragoons. I have tons of sourcebooks, but this one is easily the best I have. It has detailed information on many famous and infamous mercenary units. Such as the Kell Hounds, Battle Magic, Hell's Black Aces, the Blue Star Irregulars, Storm's Metal Thunder, Avanti's Angels, the Gray Death Legion, Wolf's Dragoons(oh yeah!), plus many more. I've created my own mercenary unit, dubbed Eric's Avatars(OH YEAH!), so I love mercenaries. The book has detailed information on how to create your own mercenary units, from founding members to unit strength. One of the biggest treats is that it contains full specs on the Gray Death Legion's scout battle armor! Sweet! I've said it before, and I'll probably say it a thousand times more, this book rocks!

4.0 out of 5 stars
Great for creating a merc unit.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Battletech Field Manual: Mercenaries (Paperback)
This book contains very good details about running a merc unit, such as soldier's salaries, contracts, the MRBC, mission pay, potential employers, ect., ect. Details about many aspects of a merc' unit, such as soldier's pay and technichal maintenence could be usful even for a regular house unit. There are still some nagging questions I have, such as: were do I put the supplies (ammo, mech parts, food, ect.) on a raid. Well I don't have any warehouses, so I'll suspend them from my 'mechs, but that will reduce their combat effectivness, so I'll put them in my vehiles. But wait, my dropship doesn't accomodate vehicles! So how the hell do I get supplies on to the planet and salvage off? Also, they could have replaced the commander's influnce rating with the scrounge skill from MWII or MW3. Other than that, it's a great book!
