This review is from: Battletech Master Rules (Battletech Series) (Paperback)

This book is an excellent purchase for somebody who has spent some time with the boxed set and wants to take Battletech to the next level. This adds level 2 rules and clarifies other rules. An excellent companion to the 3050 tech readout.

2.0 out of 5 stars A poor excuse for a rule book, October 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Battletech Master Rules (Battletech Series) (Paperback)

The simple fact is that the book could have been done much better. There are only a handful of new weapons and the rule clarifications are nice but common sense. Most players had already interperated the rules any way (e.g. torso twisting). The art in the book is mostly re hashed from earlier works. Finally, Fasa releases the book and THEN releases Tech Readout 3060 with the ProtoMech rules. Why not release the ProtoMech with the Master Rulebook? Now you players get to buy both!

5.0 out of 5 stars As good as it gets., December 6, 2004

This review is from: Battletech Master Rules (Battletech Series) (Paperback)

Let's get right down to it. This book is sensibly organized and many rules have been clarified (as a matter of fact the most significant changes are noted near the back for ease of reference). Some new level 2 equipment has been added (Inner Sphere) as well as several suits of battle armor. The extensive salvage and repair rules from Maximum Tech are also present.

As for missing the Protomech rules from TRO 3060: this is actually a good thing. Protomechs are a foolish idea that unbalance the game, while TRO 3060 is a piece of garbage.

One final note... this write-up is for the unrevised rulebook. The revised rulebook is another piece of trash.
