CORE CONSTRUCTION RULES
How does a MechWarrior interface with a
BattleMech? How does a ProtoMech really work?
When was the Gauss rifle or the Particle Projector
Cannon developed? Or how can I just make my
own, cool and unique BattleMech design? If
you’ve ever been plagued by these questions,
then get on your coveralls and make sure you’ve
got your astech certification, because you’re
about to dive into
BattleTech
construction!
A companion volume to
Total Warfare
, the
Warfare™
™
BattleTech TechManual
™
combines all the
TechManual™
construction rules for the various units presented
in that core rules set. Streamlined and updated,
it contains all the core weaponry and equipment
from previous rules set, as well as the newest,
bleeding edge technologies. More than just a
rulebook, however, the
TechManual
presents
numerous sourcebook-style treatises, providing
the in-universe context for these units and the
technologies of their development. A must have
resource for any
BattleTech
aficionado!
