Day of Heroes

Day of Heroes (subtitled The Continuing Adventures of the Gray Death Legion) is a sourcebook and scenario pack that chronicles the ongoing exploits of the Gray Death Legion. It was released in the same year as the novel Blood of Heroes that picks up the unit's adventures in 3056.

Named after the "Day of Heroes", the Legion's holiday commemorating their recovery of the Helm Memory Core on 1 April 3028, the book provides an overview over the history of the Gray Death Legion from its inception in 3024 through the Second Skye Rebellion in 3056 (novelized in Blood of Heroes), concentrating on what happened after the conclusion of the last novel of the original trilogy, The Price of Glory. Besides a sourcebook section with character bios and background information it offers boardgame scenarios for pivotal battles, organized into three major campaigns.

From the back cover
"Almost 30 years ago the mercenary unit known as the Gray Death Legion discovered a long-forgotten Star League memory core, capturing the imagination of the entire Inner Sphere along the way. Since then, the famed unit has continued to blaze a trail of glory across the reaches of known space.

Now Day Of Heroes, a new BattleTech campaign pack, lets you share in this legendary Legion's exploits as it slugs its way through three separate campaigns. Join the Gray Death's MechWarriors as they battle House Kurita's renowned First Ghost Regiment during the War of 3039. Share their agonizing defeats and hard-earned victories as they struggle against the savage might of Clan Jade Falcon on Sudeten and Pandora. Stand side by side with these brave men and women as the Second Skye Rebellion traps half the unit on Glengarry and forces a young Alexander Carlyle to lead them as they struggle for their lives against an overwhelming foe.

Day Of Heroes: The Continuing Adventures of the Gray Death Legion is a supplement for the BattleTech game system."
