Update from my original review: I have had to replace this book twice over now, due to the poor binding on the spine, and having many of the pages come unglued and fall out within weeks of first opening. Of all the sourcebooks in this series, this one is worthless, and the first of any Battletech source books I will not recommend anyone purchase. Much of the information can be found in other sources, and the abstract combat system, which promised to be fast and easy to use in interstellar campaigns, is, in my opinion, absolutely worthless due to the time it takes to convert forces from one system to another at the very least, a set of generic combat values for different forces, of different Houses, Periphery and Clan forces (home and Inner Sphere) would be of some use, and save lots of time in setting the battlefield into motion. Yet, after reviewing it, even just cursory and then in-depth, I can honestly say, disappointment is what I found. I had waited long for this product to come out, and had reasonable expectations of it. Finally, Perhaps One Of The Most Anticipated Portions Of The Book,She Alternate Eras Section Introduces A Huge Swath Of Rules For Playing Across The Thousand Years Of Battletech History, Including Weapons And Equipment Mostly Unique To A Given Era,Such As Complete Rules For Building And Playing With Lams. Additionally, A Comprehensive Rules Set Governs Running An Entire Faction'S Military As A Player Tries To Conquer Numerous Solar Systems, Including Rules For How To Stage Through Any Of The Various Scales Represented Through The Core Line Of Rulebooks. Interstellar Operations Zooms Up To The Final Level, Allowing Players To Assume The Roles Of House Lord Or Clan Khans And Dominate The Galaxy.Interstellar Operations Contains Complete Rules For Generation And Running Any Type Or Size Of Force.

The Former Focuses On A Whole New Level Of Excitement Directly On Your Gaming Table While The Later Focuses On Moving From A Single Scenario To A Multi-Part Campaigns And How To Take An Entire Solar System. Martial Your Forces And Prepare To Conquer The Inner Sphere! Interstellar Operations Is The Long-Awaited Final Rules Installment To The Series Begun With Total Warfare And Carried Through The Award-Winning Tactical Operations And Strategic Operations.
