ROLE-PLAYING GAMES

Battletech Operation Klondike
In the wake of the Star League’s collapse, Aleksandr Kerensky led the bulk of the SLDF into deep space to escape the inevitable Succession Wars. But war soon came to the Star League in Exile anyway, prompting General Kerensky’s son Nicholas to form a new society, based on the principles of honor and strength. Fifteen years later, the newborn Clans were unleashed against those who abandoned Kerensky’s vision. Historical: Operation Klondike details the actions of the epic first campaign waged by Nicholas Kerensky’s newborn Clans. Identifying all of the founding Clans and their warriors, this book provides a hard look at the nature of early Clan formation, with new units and campaign rules that enable players to replay these critical battles for the Pentagon Worlds.
