comment |
Along Came a Spider is a BattleTech fanfic written by drakensis in 2015 for NaNoWriMo.The story re-envisages the Clan Invasion with one key difference: the Federated Commonwealth has known about the Clans for twenty years and prepared accordingly. Kai Allard-Liao and Vladimir of the Wards provide main viewpoints from the frontlines while a broad cast of characters address the political and military developments across the Inner Sphere. |

Praetorian Guard: Numerous, ranging from the Keshiks that escort the Clan Khans to the various regiments around the leaders of the Successor States. The First Royal Guards fail to live up to this, leading to the Second Royal Guards taking over their prestigious role guarding the Archon when she's on the throne. |

Home by Christmas: The majority of the Khans start the fic convinced that they'll conquer the Inner Sphere with ease. They made the same mistake in canon, ending in utter disaster; here they don't even have the element of surprise they did in canon. |

Boring, but Practical: Although assault 'Mechs are around seen occasionally, the bulk of the battles are fought with more affordable medium and heavy 'Mechs. Similarly the AFFC keeps its warships rather than sending them to the frontlines. |

Prophecy Twist |
| | Along Came a Spider (Fanfic) / int_bb5126ec |
comment |
Prophecy Twist: The Nova Cats, a clan known for its mysticism, received visions stating a legend must die for their invasion to succeed. As mentioned below in Straight for the Commander, they start looking for great commanders. They realize what it truly meant when Kai, piloting a 'Mech his father used on Solaris VII, Legend Killer took out the IlKhan. This fulfilled that part of the vision, but it led to a different route to their objective: they made a truce with the Federated Commonwealth, allowing them free passage to Terra, particularly since ComStar was getting nasty. |

comment |
Tank Goodness: The AFFC lavished as much attention on upgrading their tanks as they did to 'Mechs, letting them make good use of tanks against the Clans. |

Nuclear Weapons Taboo: Several times the use of nuclear missiles is noted to be a tactic being held in reserve, only to be used as an absolute last resort. |

Decisive Battle |
| | Along Came a Spider (Fanfic) / int_d13d59a9 |
comment |
Decisive Battle: Subverted, since the Federated Commonwealth are trading space for time and grinding down the Clans (whose logistics can't support extended heavy combat). The Battle of Luthien looks like this but actually fails to settle anything, since both sides are crippled by the losses they take. |

Prevent the War |
| | Along Came a Spider (Fanfic) / int_d3701aea |
comment |
Prevent the War: At the same time they're each waging war on a vast scale against the Clans, the Federated Commonwealth and Draconis Combine each have to watch out for hotheads likely to start a war between them, forcing them to divert strategic assets that their leaders can use as examples for why such a conflict would be so costly. |

Tactical Withdrawal |
| | Along Came a Spider (Fanfic) / int_e8aa2b1d |
comment |
Tactical Withdrawal: The AFFC's basic plan for the early stages of the invasion is to have their troops retreat to prepared defensive lines after bloodying the Clans a little, since it'll take time to move up reinforcements in sufficient numbers to fight back effectively. |
