Battletech record sheets prototype1/2/2024 ![]() ![]() Like most BT products these days, much of the “artwork” are posed pictures of actual, painted-and-based models. As such, you have a variable listing for certain values, like the MPL-P’s 4+1D6 heat point rating. Sandwiched between the pilot profiles and the campaign rules section is a brief technical readout giving all the experimental equipment appearing in the book, from prototype Medium Pulse Lasers to Double Strength Heat Sinks this is equipment fitted to the ‘Mechs of each command in the mid-3040s, when they were still in development and not ready for widespread (ie, mass-produced and relatively bug-free) deployment. Since each force is a company strong, the book gives pilot profiles for each pilot in both forces, including a blurb on their personal ‘Mech in the campaign-as-presented the record sheets for these ‘Mechs and several variants of each appear in the second half of the book. It also includes necessary information to play both forces at any time period from the Fourth Succession War (3029-3031) through the Word of Blake Jihad (starting in 3067) and complete unit profiles for McKinnon’s Raiders (affiliated with the Federated Suns/Commonwealth) and Sorenson’s Sabres (Draconis Combine). Set strictly in the few years before the Clan Invasion of 3049, the book follows a series of engagements between these two forces across the border between the DC’s Galedon Military District and the FS/C’s Draconis March. The book is presented as a campaign between two rival ‘Mech raider companies from two different rival factions, the Japanese-flavored Draconis Combine and the European-feudal-styled Federated Suns/Commonwealth. This book isn’t new, but its designed for use with the BattleTech Introductory boxed set (and, by extension, the 25th-Anniversary Intro boxed set).
