Description
Field Manual: Free Worlds League is primarily a treatise on the Free Worlds League Military, so it contains information on line units, major military academies, and how the FWLM works, including the role of the Captain-General. It examines the differences between regional forces and federal forces and provides a brief history of the Free Worlds League up to 3058. The source book also contains information on creating scenarios, integrating Free Worlds units into scenarios, specialized rules on creating Free Worlds League characters in MechWarrior, Second Edition. Finally, FM:FWL introduced for the first time the Light Gauss Rifle, Inner Sphere versions of the Ultra AC/10 and ER Small & Medium Lasers, as well as some special LRM munitions. It then included new 'Mech variants that incorporated these weapons, as well as the FWL-produced OmniMech, the Perseus and their own home-brewed WarShips.
