Description

Historical: Brush Wars is a sourcebook that details three different minor, or "brush," wars; Anton's Revolt, The War of Andurien Secession, and the Ronin War. For each section there is a historical synopsis, details of the major engagements, and a rules annex at the end supports players and gamemasters who wish to set a game during one of these events. Brush Wars supports Classic BattleTech, BattleForce 2, and Inner Sphere in Flames.

It is written as an in-universe historical document compiled by one Justin DeMarco, editor-in-chief, historical archives division, Nashan Publishing; the preface is dated 14 November 3071.

From the back cover

“

The Ronin Wars. The Andurien/Magistracy invasion of House Liao. The Anton Revolt and subsequent Marik Civil War. Against the empire-spanning conflicts of the Fourth Succession War, Clan Invasion and FedCom Civil War, historians all too often forget such important conflicts, relegating them to the category of "low intensity warfare." Yet it is these very conflicts that tend to shape the internal politics and culture of each faction, often with more profound impact than the largest wars. The Historical: Brush Wars campaign sourcebook details the actions involving every line unit in the most important "low level conflicts" of the early thirty-first century. Maps and full regiment listings convey additional details, while ample campaign rules provide a framework allowing players to replay every detail of each war.
