BA also gives the basics about how clan life works, though. How to run a cattle raid, what resources are available, and so on. It can be found second-hand if you look very hard, and I'd suggest you do. Yes, you *can* run without it - we did for years before it came out, after all! But it's good.
Any chance of Issaries doing a re-print run, I wonder? There's a lot of people just starting up and after a copy.

However (as someone who's trying just this at present, as a player) the basic information about how to generate a Lunar soldier character, and how the Lunar army of occupation *works*, what a typical soldier does with their time, and so on, is missing or scattered.
I'd suggest talking to Martin Laurie for the former, and probably Nick Brooke for the latter. And they will no doubt disagree :)
