Complete with a Phonebook section just like Wolf Clan Sourcebook and Jade Falcon Sourcebook.
As a Wolf fan, as interesting as that was the first time I saw it, it is SO not needed.
Takes away all the fun of tailoring a unit to fit your needs if everything is spelled out for you.
Not that I don't like some detail, just that, somewhere between FM Descriptions & Phonebook is what I would call ideal.
Maybe like the "Overview" part of the Phonebook in the beginning......
Where it gives you down to the Trinary Name & CO, but doesn't go into all 3 stars & all 15 mechwarriors, etc etc.
I guess I just want it to tell me I 3rd Star is a Recon star, but don't spell out the 5 members & mechs for me.
IIRC, I think that format is also how Invading Clans handled the other 5 clans of the invasion.
I also liked the notable members section where you normally got a Star Captain (or lower) bio in addition to the Cluster Commander.
A trinary description line could be as simple as: Alpha Trinary (Assault, Fire, Recon)
The Notable pilots gives me the CO of the cluster of 1 of the 5 Trinaries & its up to me to fill in the remaining 3+ Star Captains & all the lower ranks.
Anyway, that's me, I need enough detail to know....... How is the 3rd Guards cluster built in terms of formation/size? W/O being told, No, there are no Warhawks in the cluster & Mechwarrior #3 in Star #10 is Named Joe.
