Description[edit]

Hot Spots: Hinterlands is a campaign book designed for players to participate as various factions or mercenary commands operating within the region of space known as the Hinterlands, a region of space left vacant after the collapse of Clan Jade Falcon's Occupation Zone after the withdraw of the Clan's almost entire touman forces seeking to conquer Terra.

The campaign book provides star maps, information about various faction / mini-states that have risen from the aftermath of two powerful Clans' departure. As well as mission Tracks of various locations, with updated contract, mercenary command record sheets.

Product Description[edit]

Enter the Hinterlands with this comprehensive campaign guide to some of the hottest combat zones in the ilClan era! A spiritual successor to the classic Hot Spots duology, this sourcebook offers all the rules and contracts any unit needs for their ongoing BattleTech games.

Whether defending Sudeten from a Hell's Horses onslaught, standing with Calamity Kell's Arc-Royal Liberty Coalition, providing some forceful incentives to the Alyina Mercantile League's latest deal, or securing the Tamar Pact's place in the Inner Sphere, the opportunities for enterprising commanders are endless!

Bring the excitement of the ilClan era to your BattleTech campaign with this sourcebook, which includes complete campaign rules built out of the BattleTech: Mercenaries boxed set, as well as contract and game hooks for battles with–and against–every major Hinterlands faction.
