From the Back Cover
“ | In 3111 the problems between Devlin Stone’s Republic of the Sphere and Sun Tzu Liao’s [sic] Capellan Confederation exploded into open war. Incensed by the Republic’s annexation of Capellan worlds after the Word of Blake’s Jihad, Chancellor Sun Tzu Liao launched an invasion to reclaim his former territory and punish the Republic.
Using the Turning Points PDF-exclusive format, Operational Turning Points: Capellan Crusades lets players experience the events that claimed the lives of Kai Allard-Liao, Davion Burton and Sun Tzu Liao. Witness firsthand the events that shaped the modern Republic Armed Forces and created the circumstances for the Confederation’s stunning successes against the Republic during the Blackout. This campaign series uses the Chaos Campaign rules and gives players the option of fighting individual Missions or Touchpoints, following a campaign arc, and inserting it into their own campaigns. This PDF exclusive includes detailed information on important worlds during the Capellan Crusades, a rundown of the forces involved in the conflict, an overview of the historical campaign, and several tools and tracks that players can use to run historical characters and battles from this time period. |
