Spared from the ravages of the Clan invasion, the Free Worlds League flourished as an arms supplier to the embattled legions of the Inner Sphere. Captain-General Thomas Marik patiently guided the Free Worlds League Military through a long-overdue reformation as the troops of his Great House rivals battled the invaders. Bolstered by the League's powerful military-industrial complex, the FWLM now stands as one of the largest and best-equipped forces in the Inner Sphere. This classified field manual, seized from the League's intelligence organization, reveals the inner workings of the FWLM, from the humble Marik Militia to the elite Knights of the Inner Sphere. An invaluable resource for both allies and enemies of the League, the BattleTech Field Manual: Free Worlds League provides a complete survey of House Marik's military. The manual includes dossiers that describe the history, officers and tactics of all FWLM BattleMech® regiments; special rules that reflect the unique capabilities of each regiment; new weapons, equipment, exclusive FWLM BattleMechs and more.

Fight the Good Fight. For the League,
By "andrew007_jjj" (Bartlett, IL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Classic Battletech: Field Manual: Free Worlds League (FAS1699) (Paperback)
I'll never forget the first time I was sitting at home and the "Battletech" cartoon showed up on my living room Television. From that moment on I was hooked on pretty much anything that had a mech in it. But, enough about that you want to know what's in the book. Don't you? Well, This book focuses on the military forces of the Free Worlds League. It describes units, tactics, as well as awards and merits. Also, it states academies run within the League and offers historical insight into the League. I have not read the book cover to cover, But don't let that throw you on my opinion of the book. It has so much that I could not possibly wait to go through that book and absorb all that book could offer and to this day I am still not done. Will I recomend buying this book? yes as well as any other Field Manual for any other aspect of the Inner Sphere or the Clans.

This review is from: Classic Battletech: Field Manual: Free Worlds League (FAS1699) (Paperback)
This is a great book full of everything you need to know about the Free Worlds League. It contains things like new 'Mechs designs, weapons, and new battle armor. The unit summeries are very detailed and show the insignia of every main unit. The color pictures show the new battle armor and regimental paint schemes, which are very cool. This is one of the best Battletech books I own and I recommend it to everyone.

Very good book, worth your money,
By A Customer
This review is from: Classic Battletech: Field Manual: Free Worlds League (FAS1699) (Paperback)
This could be the second incarnation of the House Marik book published in the late 80s, updated from the 3020s to 3059. It details everything you ever wanted to know about the Free Worlds League, right down to who is commanding what regiment. The book gives very detailed histories of practically every Marik unit, including unit size, proficiency and loyalty to the government. There are also some colored sections that show off the paint schemes of some prestigious units, some medals and a look at the Free Worlds League's battle armor units. This book is very thorough with all things concerning the FWL. There are, however, some typos in the book as well as some wrong entries in the index, but they aren't too bad and do not lessen the reading experience one bit. If you are looking for a good Battletech sourcebook to buy, this one is worth every penny.
