Gurps Special Ops 3ed

HT is a superb sourcebook on special ops, for military campaigns ranging from the high-power cinematic to the dark and dirty real world Spec ops. It is mainly adressed to the last fifty years of history, but has an insight of spec ops through the history, as well as the usual crossover recommendations. It's divided in five parts. Creation of spec ops characters, with templates mainly for modern genre, with new skills (very specialized skills), advantages and disadvantages, very well crafted, because you got a rather nice quantity of points to spent but the characters don't end being like superbeigns but spec ops soldiers with a list of skills as impressive as necessary. A chapter devoted to spec ops through the history and late spec ops units, organizations and terrorist or revolutionary groups. The sidebars illustrates the main text with a handful of famous operations and topics related to the groups presented, not only the big successes but more gritty aspects of the business too. Another chapter, the shorter and poorer, here is where GURPS High-Tech can make the difference, is devoted to equipment and weapons. Another chapter goes to spec ops procedures, common terms, tactics, management of mercenary groups and the like. The last chapter is a short introduction to Spec Ops Campaigns and serves as a fast intro to Spec Ops gaming, not the best I have seen but not the worst.
