BATTLETECH INTERSTELLAR OPERATIONS BETA PDF MANUAL

Using the most up-to-date rules text, the BattleMech Manual has been designed from the ground up to cater to the BattleTech player wanting to engage in an all-'Mech battle. Excerpts from a promotional pamphlet originally distributed by Defiance Industries of Hesperus, Lyran Commonwealth, 3007 The undisputed master of thirty-first century warfare, the BattleMech seems destined to reign supreme for centuries to come. Combining awesome destructive power and unparalleled maneuverability, the BattleMech is perhaps the most complex machine ever produced. The modern BattleMech is the end result of more than three thousand years of battlefield technology development. All at the command of the noble elite, the MechWarriors.Mounting a swath of powerful weapons from charged particle beams to lasers, missiles to rapid-fire autocannons.Protected by aligned-crystal steel over a layer of boron nitride impregnated with diamond monofilaments.Locomotion generated via bundles of polyacetylene-fiber myomer muscles.Skeleton of honeycombed, foamed aluminum core wrapped with stressed silicon carbide monofilament and sheathed by a rigid, titanium-steel shell.Powered by an armored and shielded fusion reactor.Standing from seven to sixteen meters tall, and weighing from twenty to one hundred tons.The rules were not altered beyond the addition of the aforementioned optional simplifications. While the rules were reworded and their layout changed, the base ruleset included in the BattleMech Manual matches the fourth printing of Total Warfare (plus all errata through to the June 2017 errata releases). As such, the BattleMech Manual provides an official quirk listing for all 'Mechs published prior to TRO: Prototypes (though it only lists quirks present on every example of a machine quirks applicable only to individual variants were left out). Additionally, the BattleMech Manual features a Design Quirks section that brings together all 'Mech-based quirks published to date, updates them, adds nine new ones, and then applies the result to an included list of all 'Mech units in the game released prior to Technical Readout: Prototypes (when quirks first began being added to each Technical Readout unit entry).

New rules appearing in the book are limited to simplified rulesets for fire and smoke artillery, mines, and airstrikes and a few terrain or weather conditions.

In terms of product progression, it is meant to slot in between the introductory box set (either the 25th Anniversary Introductory Box Set or its replacement, A Game of Armored Combat) and the full tournament ruleset of Total Warfare. It contains a few pieces of equipment from Interstellar Operations, many pieces of equipment taken from Tactical Operations, and a few of the optional rules found in that book and Strategic Operations. While it thus leaves out all other unit types, and was deliberately written to be as concise as possible and to eliminate rules vagaries, it is not intended to be a purely introductory product. The Manual is intended as a self-contained rulebook for players who wish to focus on BattleMech combat, with an emphasis on tabletop gameplay (as opposed to being a reference manual like previous core rulebooks). A fourth printing was released on 23 April 2021, featuring errata corrections as well as another change of cover art. A third printing was released on 17 March 2020: in addition to the usual errata corrections, this printing added an index. The reprint features errata corrections and further rewordings and clarifications, as well as new cover art.
