GET OFF THE PAPER...
...AND ONTO THE TERRAIN!
It is the 31st century—a time of war. Vast star empires struggle for control of thousands of star systems light years apart. The ultimate weapon on these future, alien landscapes is the BattleMech®. Thirty feet tall and weighing up to a hundred tons, this humanoid engine of destruction is a wlking arsenal with enough firepower to level a city block.
The Classic BattleTech Miniatures Rules™ set allows players to leave behind their paper maps and cardboard counters and jump into the sciting visual world of BattleTech® miniatures and full 3-D terrain. Lavishly illustrated with over a hundred photos, this book is a visual feast that brings the might and majesty of the marching armies - including every unit logo and flapping banner - of the Clans and House lords to the players.
This book also features a complete section on the MechWarrior: Darg Age™ game produced by WizKids Games LLC. This includes an introductory section and a color photo of every new infantry unit, vehicle and BattleMech in the game, quickly bringing BattleTech fans up to date on the MechWarrior: Dark Age universe. A rules section also allows players to use MechWarrior: Dark Age minitaures with Classic BattleTech miniatures rules. With the record sheets that will be published in the Classic BattleTech Record Sheets: MechWarrior Dark Age I, a whole new world of BattleTech play is available! |

Actually, this is a pretty fair book. I know, everyone is saying "oh, you can find the miniatures rules and stuff someplace else". True, but i seem to recall at least one source having two different scales for gridless battletech. At least, now, everything is in one spot, so I dont have to lug four books around just to pin down one rule.
The paint schemes section, i think, is more helpful than some of the color inserts on the various Field Manuals. I dont know about anyone else, but some of those are very difficult to make out. I dont have the exact book in front of me (storage), but some of the pictures were very blurry and made identifying the colors almost impossible.
A pretty fair book for someone just starting out with battletech, and a very useful book for someone looking to paint their miniatures. |

Hmm. Well. What can I say?
As a long-time terrain-over-mapsheets player, I'd have to say it was so-so. Good for newbies, and it did clarify a few things. The large-scale and MWDA sections were informative. But most of it either already exists elsewhere, or is just fluff.
As a long-time terrain maker, the terrain building section was again, good for newbies, but nothing spectacular. I learned a little, but I saw a few things I prefer to do differently. It does beat the Battletech Compendium's miniatures and terrain section, though.
The artwork was good. Pretty book, but nothing revolutionary.

I have to agree with the previous reviewer.
The book is basically a compendium of pictures of miniatures. As a rule book, it only has a few pages worth of needed material.
I give it a higher rating because it is good for the newbie of the game as it helps them design their own map and allows them to see a good number of paint jobs. |

As a 'rule book', this is a very disappointing item. The normal miniatures rules are easily found in other sources. Though it does include 'large scale' or 'quick play' rules that are suppose to help speed up a larger game, but again, disappointing as it fills all of about 1-2 pages worth of this book. The book also includes another set of short rules on how to use MWDA figures in a Battletech Miniatures game as well as how to construct your own terrain. The bulk of this book mostly just contains pictures show casing the paint jobs of various figures and terrain by various artists or just pictures of mock battles using miniatures. If you want rules on how to play a game, you're likely better with the Master Rule book. If you just want to see pictures of miniatures and terrain, this book is for you. |
