Description[edit]
First in the Force Manual series, Force Manual: Davion is a faction specific sourcebook designed by Catalyst Game Labs for both the Alpha Strike and BattleTech tabletop game systems and is concentrated on the Federated Suns' military. The Force Manual: Davion sourcebook covers the time period stretching form the Late Succession Wars era to the Late Clan Invasion and provides information on various Armed Forces of the Federated Suns units operating at the time. Rules for the creation of a typical House Davion unit are also featured, as is a mini-Technical Readout covering notable BattleMechs linked to the AFFS.
Force Manual: Davion was originally solicited in 2015 as Combat Manual: Davion, intended to be the third entry in the exclusively Alpha Strike-focused Combat Manual series. When that series was discontinued due to lackluster sales, the almost complete Davion entry became vaporware until the increasing upswing of the BattleTech franchise with the 2019 Clan Invasion Crowdfunding Campaign resulted in Catalyst revisiting the book and reworking it to include information to support the classic tabletop game as well as Alpha Strike play.
Originally due for 2022 release, the book finally appeared for effective preorder as a add-on item for the 2023 Mercenaries Crowdfunding Campaign.
