4.0 out of 5 stars
Useful depending on how you use it,
By Kit (Indiana) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jihad Hot Spots: 3070 (Classic Battletech) (Paperback)
This book accomplishes several things. First, it provides a time line of verified events from 3066 on through 3068 which does a lot do diffuse some of the confusion about what really happened during those periods. Also, while the book may not answer questions it certainly does provide ideas for campaign and game settings, and even includes a bare bones campaign for people to pay through with ideas for expanding upon it.
In all, the product is worth while so long as you know how to use it. Do not expect it to tell you everything that has happened, if anything this just makes the whole story line more confusing. Instead it should be viewed as a source of ideas for games by using the questions it generates and the limited information it does offer up. If there is any failing with the book it is that all you learn is what the typical civilian would know. This leaves you feeling "out of the loop" if you are especially interested in the events of any one particular faction. Hopefully this will be corrected in some future books so that we can get a more detailed view of what happened inside each faction instead of just a broad overview of the whole Inner Sphere.

Engrossing but a little tricky to follow,

This review is from: Jihad Hot Spots: 3070 (Classic Battletech) (Paperback)
Continuing the Word of Blake Jihad plotline, /Hot Spots 3070/ keeps with the "collected news blurb" format of the previous /Dawn of the Jihad/ supplement. With how these blurbs are occasionally inset inside one another, span pages, and otherwise get jumbled about it can be somewhat hard to follow, but no worse than your average magazine that tries to cram information into every available space. While slightly aggrivating in that the scope of the articles tend to generate more questions than answers, this is mollified by the fact that, pretty much, this is the entire point. While a proper timeline of "this happened when" would be nice, it wouldn't be appropriate for the tone of the Jihad storyline and such a thing will probably come out when the plotline ends and it transitions into the Republic of the Sphere.
They do start hinting at Wobblie concentration camps and citizen programming, though...
