Description


From the back cover

One of the most important manufacturing worlds in the Inner Sphere, Hesperus II was a primary objective of the Word of Blake’s Operation STEEL HAMMER. The plan was designed to disrupt the Lyran Alliance’s economic and industrial base. Long before attempting to seize Hesperus II, the Word concocted a lengthy invasion plan to weaken Lyran defenses. The Blakists aimed to succeed where other invaders had failed.

Jihad Turning Points: Hesperus II fleshes out all the details of the conflict surrounding this pivotal world published in various Jihad Plot Sourcebooks. Additionally, players can join one of the myriad of units fighting for ultimate control of one of the Inner Sphere's best-known factory worlds.

This campaign series uses the Chaos Campaign rules and gives players the option of fighting individual battles, following a campaign arc, inserting it into their own campaigns, and even creating their own scenarios with optional rules to give their games a "Hesperan flavor." This PDF-exclusive book includes a detailed map of Hesperus II, a comprehensive list of the forces involved on Hesperus II during its brief occupation, and several Tracks for players can use to run simple lance-on-lance battles or stage a complete world-wide invasion. The only limit is the players' imagination.

Notes

  • Unlike other sourcebooks, Jihad Turning Points: Hesperus II lacks an explicit table of contents. The list shown here was assembled from page headings.
  • The front/cover title of this product is Jihad Turning Points: Hesperus (i.e., minus the Roman numeral 'II'), how ever the proper name is Jihad Turning Points: Hesperus II. In other words, this is not part of a series of Turning Points about Hesperus II.
