BattleTech: BattleMech Manual

Basically a combination of the core and advanced Mech rules from Total Warfare, with the more popular optional rules from Tactical Operations. So why would you need this, if you can get a more comprehensive ruleset with those two books? I was skeptical at first myself, but now this is my preferred rules reference to have at the table when fighting Mech-only battles - it's more concise and it's just laid out better.

If you're going to play Mech only battles, like me, then this is perfect for the table.

Pretty disappointed for $40 for less than 150 pages. It’s fun game, but honestly I’d buy the PDF instead.

The best start to playing Battletech. Very well laid out, very easy to understand, very good to play. I love the systems contained within.

Best BT Rulebook so far!
