INTRODUCTIONS FanPro began releasing the Historicals line of sourcebooks in 2004 with War of 3039. While not the biggest in scale when compared to more memorable points in BattleTech lore, 3039 offers plenty of opportunity for BattleTech fans to relive the battles and the adventure of an upstart Draconis Combine fighting off a Federated Commonwealth bully. When the Chaos Campaign system debuted, it seemed only natural for these two documents to come together in some form or another. What better way to tell the story of 3039 than through a simple and easy to follow campaign system? These tracks are the offspring of my involvement in the Community Created Warchest post at the ClassicBattleTech.com forums. I am pleased to offer this now completed campaign. I hope you enjoy it. I am always interested in hearing what you think of the tracks. Email me your feedback at brian@scrapyardarmory.com. Happy gaming!

You can visit his excellent BattleTech blog here: http://taharqa.org/ HOW TO USE THIS PDF These tracks are intended to be used in conjunction with the rules laid out in the Chaos Campaign rulebook available for free at www.battlecorps.com (look in the online store under BattleTech game PDFs). Any track may also be used as a stand alone scenario if players wish. Getting Started Player groups should begin the campaign with 1,000 Warchest Points (WP). Begin the campaign at The Dragon Weeps. Unit Assignment Players are encouraged to make ample use of the faction and era specific Random Unit Assignment Tables (RAT) in Historical: War of 3039 for unit recruitment and opposing force generation. Alternatively, www.CatalystDemos.com features a full featured Random Unit Generator which can be used to select units from specific eras as well. Opposing Forces When more than one opposing force is described by a track, the Game Master should use his or her discretion when selecting forces. There are often differences in skill level that will allow the GM to tailor the difficulty of the track according to the Player's force composition. In lieu of a GM decision, determine OpFor origin randomly for an extra dose of luck. Two Places at Once? With only nine months to cover the entire war, there is not a lot of time or opportunity for any one unit to travel to so many different battles. For the purpose of this campaign, we have to suspend disbelief and assume we really can be everywhere we need to be. The important thing is to enjoy the games and get involved in the retelling of the story. Have fun and don't worry so much about realistic transit times between systems. ScrapYardArmory
