Tales of the Black Widow Company

Description

Tales of the Black Widow Company is a scenario book that focuses on the legendary Natasha Kerensky and her Black Widow Company. It details the unit's pilots and mechs during the period that their parent unit Wolf's Dragoons and, by extension, the Black Widows themselves were in the service of House Kurita's Draconis Combine, from 3023 until 3028, as well as a single scenario set during 3022 when the Dragoons were in service of House Steiner's Lyran Commonwealth. The book gives a brief history of Wolf's Dragoons and their leader Jaime Wolf before going on to detail the history of the Black Widow Company itself. It then gives information of all twelve pilots in the company and their mechs, including details of mechanical foibles and failures that the mechs suffer from.

After the information on the unit, the book presents eleven stand-alone scenarios and a short four-mission campaign to challenge the Black Widow Company. Each scenario has a short piece of fiction to set the scene before going on to detail the set-up for the mission, with information on which members of the Black Widow Company are involved in the battle and how they are deployed, details of the opposing units and their deployment, victory and loss conditions for each side as well as any special rules for the scenario.
