Summary: A Welcome Release
Review: Its nice to see FASA release a Field Manual on the CC. They always seem to be overlooked. The book is good at providing the in-depth information that you would expect from a Field Manual, but seems to be lacking some of the refinement that is present in the other House Field Manuals. A definite addition to any hardcore BT fan's library.

Summary: Xin Sheng... for the Capellan Confederation AND FASA!
Review: The Capellan Confederation is going through a "Xin Sheng" movement, which means "Rebirth" in Chinese. Led by the wise and, surprisingly, sane Sun-Tzu Liao, the future is bright for the Capellan Confederation.The Field Manual includes information on Capellan Confederation Units (including Warrior Houses and the Death Commandos), the St. Ives Compact and the Free Capella movement. Along with this are a load of new MW 3rd Edition things, like the St. Ives Compact affiliation, loads of new life paths (like Warrior House aspirant or Death Commando covert tour). Plus, the new Stealth Armor, new missile munitions, new 'Mechs and 'Mech variants, and the Feng Huang Cruiser. Buy this, even if you aren't a Cappie! Its so cool!

Summary: Worthy addition
Review: This addition to the field manual series is easily as good as the Draconis Combine book. A couple of things prevent a full 5 though. First, there's almost no information on the Mariskova(sp?) and there is a problem with the Marshall variant that supposedly uses the stealh armor(the problem being, in addition to not having stealth armor, it can't - not enough open crits due to ferro-fibrous and jump jets). The new tech is pretty extreme, but well balanced. Definitely a must buy.

Summary: Perfect
Review: This is a must-have for anyone who reads the Battletech novels. This catches you up on all the events that are going on that the authors don't write about in the novels, including the Death Commandos, who are a fearsome unit that get very little novel space.

Summary: Cappellan Rising
Review: Truly a must read. The Cappellan Confederation is stronger now than it had been since the devastating 4th Succession War. As the old ways are swept aside by the new Chancellor Sun-Tzu Liao, the Cappellan state has used its recovery to take back what is theirs. With new weapons, ships and units that are better trained and motivated. The Cappellan Confederation is poised to reinvent itself as a new power. Although the manual did not discuss the impact of the Trinity Alliance with the Magistry of Canopus and the Taurian Concordat, the lack of information on the Maskirovka still could not blunt the book from giving the Confederation an impressive standing. Where the Confederation will strike next is uncertain. With the Federated Commonwealth on the verge of Civil War, I am sure Sun Tzu will take advantage of the opportunity and exact his revenge. This Field Manual will show you just what he has as his tools.
