Book Description

1555603920 978-1555603922 March 1, 2000
Dominant for centuries, House Davion has led the Federated Suns to greatness through brilliant and innovative leadership. The Federated Suns have carved a prominent swath through history: the Davions formed a military that rewrote modern warfare; created the New Avalon Institute of Science, giving the Inner Sphere its first technological renaissance in three centuries; and united the military might of the Federated Suns with the economic power of House Steiner, creating the vast star empire known as the Federated Commonwealth. But with such power comes corruption -- and civil war is looming on the horizon. BattleTech Field Manual: Federated Suns provides profiles on every Federated Suns regiment, including their loyalties, and provides special rules, new equipment and 'Mechs® unique to this powerful House.

4.0 out of 5 stars Civil War anyone ?, December 20, 2000
By 
Peter Bernard (Oakland, CA. United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Federated Suns: Battletech Field Manual (Battletech) (Paperback)
Opening this book I was happy to see just how much information was given on each unit(numbers, loyalty, experiance) not to mention the listing of new mechs, ships, and weapons. I was however disappointed that there wasn't much information on the impending civil war brewing between the Federated Suns and the Lyran Alliance, despite the fact that both are being run by Katherine Steiner-Davion.

The nice thing about the situation is its easy to tell what side you support by how you pronounce her name. Katrina for the pro-Lyrans. Katherine for the pro-Davions.

4.0 out of 5 stars Davion Rebirth, July 24, 2000
This review is from: Federated Suns: Battletech Field Manual (Battletech) (Paperback)
I have to say, that I was surprised how many listed Davion units are loyal to Katherine Steiner-Davion. Still, loyalties change all the time in this universe. Despite that, I am sure the book will put at ease those B-Tech fans who think the AFFC/AFFS is no longer as potent as it was during the Succession Wars. Although the Federated Suns is not as up to date as other Inner Sphere powers, certainly they can hold their own in superior organization and tactics.

The real question is, even with the resurgence of the Star League and detente with the Draconis Combine, can the Federated Suns, and the Federated Commonwealth survive the sundering of Civil War? This Field Manual will reveal the strengths and weaknesses of the Federated Suns, and with the Lyran manual, "stack the forces" together to let readers understand the unsettling future ahead. A must-read.

5.0 out of 5 stars an excellent addition, June 2, 2000
This review is from: Federated Suns: Battletech Field Manual (Battletech) (Paperback)
As always, another good book and well worth the buy. While I am a Clan Player at heart, this is an excellent book. Loaded with updates and useful roleplaying information. A must for all BT fans, AFFS or not.
