| Description: |
The Clans: They came from beyond the Periphery, attacking dozens of planets in a massive blitzkrieg more devastating than any in the history of warfare. World after world fell before their technologically superior BattleMechs and armored infantry. Nothing in the Inner Sphere seemed able to stop them.
Major Adam Steiner: His unique brand of battlefield tactics earned him a transfer to the prestigious Naglering War College on Tharkad. No sooner had he left his home world of Somerset than Clan Jade Falcon attacked, easily conquering the planet and capturing his brother Andrew. Now Adam must forge a ragtag bunch of cadets and misfits into a team in order to retake his home and rescue his brothers.
1st Somerset Strikers is the official guide to the BattleTech Animated Series. This sourcebook describes and illustrates in full color every character, BattleMech, and vehicle from the show. Detailed accounts of each of the original fourteen episodes include a complete plot synopsis and special background information, and designer notes offer FASA's perspective on the production of the BattleTech animated series. A section of BattleTech rules for the equipment and characters in the show, and scenarios based on the episodes make this book a valuable resource for fans of the game as well as the animated series. |

A terrible sourcebook mainly because of the subject matter and the long-term effects that it would have on the storyline. The cartoon was horrible and badly written, with the hero, Adam Steiner, coming off as a total putz. It is only later that he becomes a hero of the Lyran people, the Highest ranking officer in the military and eventually the Archon [post WOB Jihad]. This cartoon should never have been canonized, it was a great injustice. |

If youve ever seen any of the Battletech animated shows, do yourself a favor and get this book. Inside are sumaries of each episode, Mech designs, new battle armor, vehicles, EW suites, and scenarios taked directly from the show. A good way to introduce newer technology to first time players, both Inner Sphere equipment and Clan Gear. This book also give you a little more insight as to how bondsmen are treated from clan to clan. And, perhaps the most interesting thing, more data on exactly what is inside the Dark Nebula. |
