Description

As the second scenario book ever published, The Fox's Teeth: Exploits of McKinnon's Raiders describes the members and adventures of one of House Davions most famous units: McKinnon's Company of the 7th Crucis Lancers. In addition to the units history, composition and a short description of House Davion and some important planets, the book presents ten solo scenarios and a mini campaign to replay some of the Raiders most exciting battles of the 3020s.

From the back cover

The mercenary company McKinnon's Raiders was nicknamed "The Fox's Teeth" for their long and successful history in carrying out the policies of Hanse "The Fox" Davion. Now considered a house unit of the House of Davion, the most powerful of the Successor States, McKinnon's Raiders has a remarkable history of loyalty under the most trying of circumstances.

This scenario set details the history of McKinnon's Raiders, profiles the statistics and condition of the members of the company and includes 14 scenarios pitting the Raiders against the wide variety of opponents they have fought throughout their colorful past.

Notes

  • The book introduced the world Kesai (spelled as Kasai) as a planet belonging to the Federated Suns since the fall of the Star League in contrast to the more recent Handbook: House Davion. Therefore it is unknown if the other information about the Star League depot and the beginnings of McKinnon's Raiders are still correct.
  • The Udibi campaign against Wolf's Dragoons is set in 3029 in this book, but this cannot be correct as the Dragoons went to work for the Federated Suns in 3028. The Wolf's Dragoons sourcebook established the Udibi battle to have occurred in 3027.
