Following on the success of ''[[Starterbook: Sword and Dragon]]'', ''Wolf and Blake'' uses the standard rules in ''Total Warfare'', plus some additional ones that it introduces from ''[[Tactical Operations]]'', serving as a bridge between those two core rulebooks. ''Wolf and Blake'' begins with a short story for each unit so that players can get a feel for them, then gives a history of both units involved. The twelve [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]] each have a full-page write-up of their biography, including a portrait and info about their personal [['Mech]]. Some of those 'Mechs field experimental equipment from ''Tactical Operations'', notable the [[Variable-Speed Pulse Laser]] (Small, Medium, and Large), [[Supercharger]], [[Actuator Enhancement System]], [[Modular Armor]], [[Blue Shield Particle Field Damper]], [[Laser Reflective Armor]], and [[PPC Capacitor]]s. While they are ostensibly the main reason for the book, the scenario tracks are only a fraction of the book. As with ''Sword and Dragon'', there are some tracks that are for both sides, while others are specific to one of the two units. They culminate in a series of battles involving both units, as they square off against each other. In order to play these tracks the players must have, at the least, ''[[Record Sheets: 3050 Upgrade Print Edition]]''. ==From the back cover== {{quote|Black Widow Company ''A [[Wolf's Dragoons]] independent command, the [[Black Widow Company]] is one of the most famous units of all time: they are reborn from the fires of Blakist treachery to prove to the entire [[Inner Sphere]] that the Dragoons are still to be respected... and feared.'' Opacus Venatori ''A melding of the most elite warriors with the [[Word of Blake]]’s [[Manei Domini]] cyborg soldiers, the [[Opacus Venatori]]&mdash;piloting the new cutting-edge [[Celestial-series]] [[OmniMech]]s&mdash;are a hunter-killer force without equal... and they’ve got Wolf blood in sight.''

Starterbook: Wolf and Blake ''is a fiction-bridge between the universe history presented in ''[[Total Warfare]]'' and the current storyline begun in the ''[[Dawn of the Jihad]]'' (or ''[[Blake Ascending: A Jihad Compilation]]'') sourcebook, while providing a sneak peak at some of the advanced technologies that will premier in ''[[Tactical Operations]]''.
