On 20 August 3028, Hanse Davion of the Federated Suns
launched the most successful Succession War in history. His
goal was to simultaneously capture half of the Capellan
Confederation, which would sideline the power of
House Liao for decades, and launch a union that
would lead to the formation of the largest,
strongest interstellar power since the original
Star League: the Federated Commonwealth.
But the Fox was not content with his
success, and a scant decade later
moved to crush his age-old enemy,
House Kurita. In April 3039, forces of
Houses Davion and Steiner moved to
slay an apparently weakened Dragon—
only to face a fury of teeth and claws.
The first in a new series, the
Historical:
War of 3039
™
campaign sourcebook
details the action involving every line
unit in this pivotal war. Wave
maps and full regiment
listings convey additional
details, while ample campaign
rules provide a framework
allowing players to replay every
laser shot and autocannon blast.
