Presented
here is an overview of what one can expect from the new Forged
in Battle
supplement.

Pages 5-9: Overview and summary
Chapter 1 (pages 10-39): Heroes of the Rebellion
This chapter presents ideas for soldier backgrounds and duties; four
new species (Elom, Elomin, Kyuzo and Shistavanen); three new soldier
specializations (the Heavy, Trailblazer and Vanguard); soldier
motivations; and two signature abilities (The Bigger They Are... and
Unmatched Courage).
Chapter 2 (pages 40-63): Weapons of War
In this chapter one can find ten new ranged energy weapons (including
the BlasTech A280, which I was happy to see); three each of
slugthrowers, explosive weapons and melee weapons; five new types of
armor; three weapon attachments; perhaps a dozen other equipment
items; and ten new vehicles, including the LAAT/i.
Chapter 3 (pages 64-96): Indomitable Courage
This chapter presents suggestions for using soldiers both in combat
scenarios and in other types of adventures. There are suggestions for
different types of objectives; rules for different combat
environments; suggestions for ways to reward soldier characters; and
rules for creating and using fortifications.
All in all, this seems like a useful sourcebook, one that should see plenty of use during an Age of Rebellion campaign.
