Description
TechManual is the second core book in the rebranded Classic BattleTech line. This particular book provides all of the construction rules for tournament-legal units that were presented in Total Warfare. In addition, TechManual introduced the updated Battle Value system--which has been branded "BV 2.0" by fans. TechManual also provides fictional descriptions of the various units that it provides game statistics for, as well as for the weapons and equipment they use, including long-awaited dates of introduction. Similar to Total Warfare, each section of game data is preceded by a fictional introduction, though TechManual's fiction is of a technical nature. Finally, TechManual contains blank record sheets for all the units it covers and tables for the weapons and equipment contained therein.
