An interresting starter for everyone who wishes to get themselves into Heavy Gear universe, and test themselves both in Role Play and Tactical. This adventure is a great choice because of how well it merges the two aspects with propper pacing giving players a lot of interresting characters to roleplay and interract with and enaugh of Heavy Gear combat to make them remember how powerfull and awesome their machines are, and how fragile they become should they wish to get cought offguard and outside their gears.
As well as other Dream Pod 9 products and adventures this one includes very cunning and well thought advices how to neatly trimm the content to desired power levels or alternative scenarios not including forces of AST or SIU at all, making it a really good and valid thing for any group of players and any campaign even if you play as Northerner or Badlander character.
Before the adventure's briefing we are introduced to a grand backstory and whole palette of characters, political plots that we are encouraged to use as later plothooks or twists in the current line of gameplay, spicing up scenes and making them bit harder.
As for the proposed scenario we are SIU(Special Intervention Unit) top-notch forces with dirty reputation for dirty work and veeery dirty enemies on inside of dirty political machine, who place blame on us for their dirty business when things get dirty... As you may guess, we are not popular, we do a lot of stuff other's would never do and yet we can't deffend ourselves when something goes wrong, nor can we speak about what we achieved cause that is top-secret. The book does fair share of work to let us feel as those shady types who may be considered patriots and heroes in hundread years from now, but now we keep our mouth shut, or things get nasty. During our line of work we're gonna question our morality, superiors, orders, justice of our cause, etc. as we venture deep into lush jungle of Terra Nova on secret covert operation. And trust me, it's gonna get graphic Apocalypse Now style!
Brainwashing, megalomaniacs, army of rejects and frenzy locals... The way this simple recon mission turns out to be is something no one could forsee.
Included we got typicall DP9 short-stories regarding the adventure, fair artwork depicting characters and landscapes, tactical maps. At the very end we are introduced to couple sample characters ready to pick up and play. What is noteworthy is that they have secret information designed only for the eyes of player who chose that character with it's deep needs, interrests, opinions on others and motivations, that would sometimes collide with other characters.
A very interresting adventure and certainly a good buy for just $3.89
