This supplement contains the combined updates to Planetstrike, Cities of Death and Stronghold Assault. Most folks will have the book for the Stronghold Assault portion but the supplement also presents a combined campaign format that's worth exploring.
PLANETSTRIKE
An Attack & Defend game type that uses a different set of FOCs and includes special rules to better represent a planetary invasion. They add their own set of A&D warlord traits and specific Stratagems to spice up the experience. They also feature campaign bonuses that are awarded to one side in the next phase of the campaign.
Missions
Planetfall, Desperate Assault, Seize and Destroy, Stranglehold, Forlorn Hope, Planetquake
STRONGHOLD ASSAULT
Also A&D with emphasis on the use of Fortifications representing the ground war after invasion. It also features its own FOCs and bonuses depending on which side you're playing as. And there are campaign bonuses as well.
Missions
Breakthrough, Bunker Assault, All-out Attack, Crossfire, The Big Push, Last Stand
CITIES OF DEATH
This is a Tactical Objective based game type that simulates an extended battle through the ruins of an invaded world. Games are tight with a lot of ruins on the table and feature their own set of Tactical Objectives. And of coarse it features a set of Campaign rewards.
Missions
Firesweep, High Ground, Domination, Maximum Attrition, Urban Assault, Isolated Resistance
PLANETARY ONSLAUGHT
This ties the above 3 modules into one big campaign from Invasion to Conquest by adding an additional set of A&D victory rewards that cover an entire phase. Then it includes a chart to determine who wins and by what degree, which is more useful on the narrative side of things.
Fortifications
Most of the entries from Stronghold Assault haven't changed, rather this is more a consolidation.
