TEARING DOWN THE WALLS!
For more than ten years, the Word of Blake’s Jihad
has engulfed the states of the Inner Sphere and the
invading Clans in chaos and ire. Reeling from attacks
on all fronts, realms have fought one another while the
Word’s masters built a powerful Protectorate around
humanity’s home: Terra. But with the rise of a resourceful
rebel leader, Devlin Stone, the collective might of the
Great Houses and rival Clans have united for an all-out
assault against the Protectorate—one that can only
end when humanity’s home is free once again!
TARGET: TERRA!
Jihad Hot Spots: Terra™ continues the Jihad plot book
series started with Blake Ascending , bringing readers
into the latter years of the war between the Word
of Blake and the Inner Sphere. Seen from the eyes
of those who ight and die in this epic struggle, this
book includes articles and intelligence excerpts from
across the Inner Sphere, along with additional rules
and campaign tracks for both BattleTech campaigns
played using the Total Warfare and A Time of War
game rules. This book also provides a rare, in-depth
look at the Terran system itself, including the history
and varied cultures who live on these most revered
worlds. Also included are rules and units for the
elaborate defense network the Word of Blake unveiled
against Stone and his allied Coalition throughout the
Protectorate campaign.
THE WORD MUST FALL!
