A League of Uncertainty

“How long do you think you can hold your little Star League together when everyone already wants you deposed?”

The final words of the late Devlin Stone haunt Alaric Ward, ilKhan of the Clans and First Lord of the Star League. Alaric has made Nicholas Kerensky’s impossible dream a reality and achieved the purpose of his people. The future, once so clearly defined, is murkier than ever. Driven by overwhelming purpose for his entire life, for the first time Alaric wonders: what now?

Meanwhile, denied the opportunity to destroy the hated Republic of the Sphere and exorcise Stone, his personal demon, Chancellor Daoshen Liao faces the same question. Unable to breach the Wall around Terra, Daoshen must redirect the ambitions of his people while preparing for a new enemy rebuilding from the ruins of the old.

Included are a full historical summary of events in those regions of space, personality and unit profiles of key players–many appearing here for the first time–and game information along with a glossy campaign map to bring it all to your BattleTech tabletop.

Brush Wars series
Debuting 2024

Despite the millions (!) of words laid down in BattleTech sourcebooks over the years, some conflicts have never seen the spotlight. The original Historical: Brush Wars sourcebook covered a few such campaigns during the Succession Wars era, and Historical: Wars of the Republic Era tackled a few more which occurred between the end of the Jihad and the HPG Blackout. This series will go farther, criss-crossing all eras of BattleTech with deep dives into conflicts which have never gotten the sourcebook treatment.

Recalling those earlier Historical products, each Brush Wars installment will dedicate significant space to describing each campaign. And, like Operational Turning Point: Hanseatic Crusade, each Brush Wars release in PDF will be supported by a slate of companion PDFs, with an eye toward eventual compilation in POD format. What’s more, the two previous volumes mentioned above will be re-released in POD, dropping the defunct “Historical” naming and re-branded with the Brush Wars moniker.

Several Brush Wars releases are in the works, including the Burrock Absorption, the Battle of Dahlgren, the St. Ives War, and the First Combine-Ghost Bear War, and more!
