Description[edit]

BattleTech Starter: Fist and Falcon is the first of series of web-exclusive PDFs produced by CGL & BattleCorps designs as a ready-for-play type scenario/RPG game. The product includes scenario tracks, role-playing elements and record sheets. Fist and Falcon pits two company-size forces from the Lyran Alliance and Clan Jade Falcon against one another during the Falcon's incursion during the early years of the Jihad.

Publisher's Product Description[edit]

The Kewran Wolfhounds

As part of the Twenty-Fifth Arcturan Guard, Hauptmann Michael Guillaume’s Wolfhounds Company faces its first trial by fire on the raging battlefields of Great X.

The Pursuing Peregrines

Forged in the dawning years of the Jihad, Star Captain Ingried’s Binary of battle-hardened veterans seeks its own glory in his Clan’s latest war against the Lyran Alliance.
BattleTech Starter: Fist and Falcon brings players a new and exciting way to jump into the BattleTech universe. As conflict erupts anew on the Lyran-Falcon border during the early years of the Jihad, two untested commands clash. Including the brief history and personal dossiers of the members of these two forces, this PDF provides scenarios and special rules compatible with BattleTech games using Total Warfare and A Time of War, complete with Record Sheets for their ’Mechs and characters alike.
