It does this for the in-game information by updating the [[mercenary unit]] force briefs to [[3067]] and revised some of the game rules, most notably those for creating and running a mercenary force. There is more detailed information on four of the largest [[hiring hall]]s in the [[Inner Sphere]]. It also includes new life paths and an affiliation for use in ''[[Classic BattleTech RPG]]''. The book became the flagship to series of follow-on Mercenary Supplementals, which expanded information number lesser known units and older ones. These updates expanded to the middle of the [[Jihad]]. ==From the back cover== {{quote|''Had enough of fighting for king and country? Sick of being told what to do and who to kill, and hanging your butt out on the line every day just so some career-climbing general can reap the benefits of your hard work? Do you think you can measure up in the big leagues, and carve your name into the history books for all time? Well, bud, now's the time to put up or shut up, because not everyone is cut out for the rough and tumble life of today's mercenary! War's a dangerous business and for the professional soldier, survival ain't as simple as coming out of the firefight alive!'' ''Classic BattleTech ''Field Manual: Mercenaries, Revised'' provides an in depth look at modern mercenary operations, including where to go for the best contracts and most active battlegrounds. Over sixty of the [[Inner Sphere]]'s best-known [[mercenary unit|mercenary commands]] are profiled here including histories, officers, and favorite tactics. Special rules enable you to bring each of these famous outfits to life in your own [[Classic BattleTech]] campaigns, while updated rules provide players with detailed instructions for creating and running their own mercenary commands both on and off the field.
