CORE GAME RULES
It is the 31st century, a time of endless wars that rage
across human-occupied space. As star empires clash,
these epic wars are won and lost by BattleMechs,
®
30-foot-tall humanoid metal titans bristling with lasers,
autocannons and dozens of other lethal weapons;
enough firepower to level entire city blocks. Your elite
force of MechWarriors® drives these juggernauts into
battle, proudly holding your faction’s flag high, intent
on expanding the power and glory of your realm. At
their beck and call are the support units of armored
vehicles, power armored infantry, aerospace fighters
and more, wielded by a MechWarrior’s skillful command
to aid him in ultimate victory. Will they become legends,
or forgotten casualties? Only your skill and luck will
determine their fate!
The product of more than twenty years of gaming
experience,
Total Warfare™
presents the rules of the
BattleTech®
game system as never before. For the first time,
all the rules for various units that have a direct impact on
the deadly battlefields of the thirty-first century appear in a
unified rules set: from BattleMechs to ProtoMechs, Combat
Vehicles to Support Vehicles, infantry to aerospace fighters
and DropShips. Interwoven and meticulously updated,
Total
Warfare
provides the most detailed and comprehensive
rules set published to date for
BattleTech—the
perfect
companion for standard tournament play.
Total Warfare
is the single-source rulebook for people who play
BattleTech.
It is not intended to teach new players the game, but
rather to serve as a reference work for people who know the
game, while introducing more technologies and expansive rules
than appear in the basic box set. The introductory game in the
BattleTech
line is the
BattleTech Introductory Box Set.
New players
should pick up that product before diving into this one.
Construction rules for the various units presented in
Total Warfare
can be found in
TechManual.
