5.0 out of 5 stars Must have, October 28, 1998

This review is from: Battletech Compendium: The Rules of Warfare (Hardcover)

Even with the new rules this book is still a staple. A must have for any mechwarrior. It's clear in most instances, where it's not, go to the FASA web sight for corrections.

4.0 out of 5 stars excellent for those who have ventured into the game., September 23, 1998

This review is from: Battletech Compendium: The Rules of Warfare (Paperback)

If you are a first-timer, this will have sections that may be difficult to understand, but once you enter the game it will open things up. It allows you to play at any level with players of other levels without feeling like the novice is totally out of his/her league. I found it helped considerably when we started to advance into creating Mechs, terrain and scenarios.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is the ultimate in Battletech compilations., May 6, 1998

This review is from: Battletech Compendium: The Rules of Warfare (Hardcover)

It involves all the rules for 'mechs, vehichles, infantry, and artillery in 3057. It also includes simplified rules for aerospace fighters and dropping 'mechs from dropships. All in all, all battletech players starting or into the game should have their own copy of this book.
