Classic Battletech: Technical Readout: 3050

Product Review

More than 250 years ago, Aleksandr Kerensky, Protector-General of The Star League, left known space. With him he took nearly half the MechWarriors, BattleMechs and support personnel in the Inner Sphere. In the years that followed, the Inner Sphere's Successor States battled for supremacy, waging terrible wars that claimed millions of lives and crippled their technological knowledge and manufacturing capabilities. Now the descendants of Kerensky are returning, armed with superior 'Mechs and driven by one goal -- total domination of the Inner Sphere. BattleTech Technical Readout: 3050 provides illustrations, descriptions and game statistics for all state-of-the-art Inner Sphere BattleMechs and the OmniMechs used by the Invading Clans. Technical Readout: 3050 also includes entries on rare Star League-era Combat Vehicles that have recently begun resurfacing in active duty.

TRO:3050, October 17, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Classic Battletech: Technical Readout: 3050 (FAS8614) (Paperback)

I love the battle tech game, and mech warrior computer games, and this is very helpfull. It shows the new clan mechs, I.S. mechs, and vehicles. It's fairly good, but hasn't any color photos like TRO:3058. Thats why I gave it an eight. If you're a battle tech maniak like me, and you play games right when the clan invasion started, this is the book for you.

This is a great book in all aspects and especialy the clan 'mech pictures. the pictures are 1D because, standing from a role play look at things, no body could get a picture out of thease 'mechs because the 'mechs are total mysterys. i wish they would, however publish a book on clan weaponry and technologys standing from a clan warriors point of veiw.

A very good book for MechWarriors of all ages. :-), October 4, 1997

This is an excellent book for those into the BattleTech universe. However, the clan 'Mechs are one-dimensional and provide no insight on what they really look like. A little more Clan info (such as how the weapons are lighter, etc.) would help.
