According to the imprint, additional texts from other sources (''[[Technical Readout: 3050]]'', ''[[House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)|House Liao]]'', ''[[Wolf's Dragoons (sourcebook)|Wolf's Dragoons]]'', ''[[Sorenson's Sabres (scenario pack)|Sorenson's Sabres]]'', and ''[[Stardate]]'') were included. The German version is printed as DIN A4, a standard European paper size, which is a little larger then North American [[w:Paper size|Letter]]. − − ====Alterations==== − =====Graphics===== − The original's 16 colored unit graphics were rearranged as an unnumbered four-page miniature gallery (four images per page) at the middle of the book.<ref>Units with colored images are: ''Pegasus'', ''Harasser'', ''J. Edgar'', ''Ontos'', ''Schrek'', ''Pike'', ''Partisan'', ''Scorpion'', ''Hunter'', ''Demolisher'', ''Manticore'', ''SturmFeur'', ''Sea Skimmer'', ''Warrior'', ''Monitor'' and ''Karnov''</ref> The unit's images at the correspending data sheets were instead shown in black and white. − =====Table of Contents=====+ It was reissued in 2003 as ''[[Technical Readout: 3026 Revised]]''. − The original content was restructured and expanded. Where the original ''TRO 3026'' lists only "Vehicles" (of any kind), "Personal Equipment," and (personal) "Weapons," ''Hardware-Handbuch 3031'' details the sections further, resulting in this altered table of content: − * Battlemechs [''sic''] − * Panzer (''Tanks'') − * Artillerie (''Artillery'') − * Senkrechtstarter und konventionelle Flugzeuge (''Vertical Takeoff and Landing and Conventional Aircraft'') − * Wasserfahrzeuge (''Watercraft'') − * Hilfsfahrzeuge (''Support Vehicles'') − * Ausrüstung (''Personal Equipment'') − * Waffen (''Weapons'') − * Schautafeln (''Visual Aid'', a "new" section that includes equipment sketches) − * Index − =====Additional content from other sources===== − Expanded content includes various designs from other sources, complete with Technical Readout-style fluff, combat histories, and notable pilots. In detail these are: − * The new section ''Battlemechs'' that includes five additional [[BattleMech]] designs − **''[[Flea]]'' - The 20-ton FLE-15 version. Combat history and Notable Pilots ([[Kare Devereux]] and [[Thheiba Shakir]]) were translated from an (apocryphal) write-up in ''Stardate'' Vol. 3 No. 1. − **''[[Raven]]'' - The standard ''Raven'' as statted in the ''House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)'' sourcebook. Like in that book, the [[ECM 3025|ECM Equipment]] (for which no rules existed) was supposedly mounted in the Center Torso location despite occupying four critical slots. The Combat History write-up and single Notable Pilot ([[Kevin DeNato]] from the [[1st McCarron's Armored Cavalry]] regiment) given were original and have not been translated or republished elsewhere. − **''[[Wolfhound]]'' - Combat History is a retelling of the 'Mech's history as described in the [[Warrior trilogy]], with [[Daniel Allard]] given as the sole entry under Notable Pilots. − **''[[Cataphract]]'' - Also taken from the ''House Liao (The Capellan Confederation)'' sourcebook, with an original write-up that was not translated or published anywhere else. Combat History centers on the exploits of Notable Pilot [[Kalidas Aniro]] of [[Warrior House Kamata]] in the fighting against [[Andurien Secession|Andurien]] forces under [[Jimmy Lee]] on [[Betelgeuse]]. − **''[[Longbow]]'' - Combat history and Notable Pilots (Beater/Hunter team [[Oshira Muzakka]] and [[Jon Smallberry]], and [[Cedrick Sveinson]]) were translated from an (apocryphal) write-up in ''Stardate'' Vol. 3 No. 2. − * The ''Panzer'' section includes 23 vehicle designs, from which 20 were taken from TRO 3026, the additional designs are: − ** ''[[Plainsman]] - taken from ''Wolf's Dragoons'' sourcebook − ** ''[[Bandit]]'' - taken from ''Wolf's Dragoons'' sourcebook − ** ''[[Zhukov]]'' - taken from ''Wolf's Dragoons'' sourcebook − * The ''Artillerie'' section includes 5 vehicle designs (''[[Harasser]]'', ''[[Hetzer]]'', ''[[LRM Carrier|LRM]]/[[SRM Carrier]]'', ''[[Pike (Combat Vehicle)|Pike]]'', and ''[[Schrek]]''), which are all included in ''TRO 3026'', although none of them is technically considered as [[artillery]] under [[Rules Level|BattleTech Rules]]. − * The ''Senkrechtstarter und Konventionelle Flugzeuge'' section lists 8 vehicle designs, from which 6 were taken from ''TRO 3026'', the additional designs are: − ** ''[[Kestrel (Combat Vehicle)|Kestrel]] - taken from ''Wolf's Dragoons'' sourcebook − ** ''[[Peregrine (Combat Vehicle)|Peregrine]] - also taken from ''Wolf's Dragoons'' sourcebook − * The ''Wasserfahrzeuge'' section lists 3 designs, which are all taken from ''TRO 3026''. − * The ''Hilfsfahrzeuge'' section lists 6 vehicle designs, from which 5 were taken from ''TRO 3026'', the additional design is: − ** ''[[Badger (Combat Vehicle)|Badger]]'' - taken from ''Wolf's Dragoons'' sourcebook − =====Altered and missing content===== + ==Contents== − The ''Ausrüstung'' and ''Waffen'' sections were rearranged as well, with some original content being left out. The stats provided for equipment were slightly altered, presumably to account for rule changes since the publication of ''TRO 3026''.+ ===[[:Category:Combat Vehicles]]=== − * The ''Ausrüstung'' section lists just 4 categories of equipment (''Communicators'', ''Sensors'', ''[[Exoskeleton]]s'' and ''[[Artificial Limbs]]''), the following categories included in ''TRO 3026'' were left out: + * ''[[Ferret]]'' − ** ''Electronic Suits'' + * ''[[Savannah Master]]'' − ** ''Rechargers'' + * [[Tracked APC]] − ** ''Miscellaneous Personal Equipment'' + * [[Wheeled APC]] − * The ''Waffen'' section restructures the original content in 3 new categories (''Rückstoßfreie Gewehre und Flammer'' (''Recoilless Rifles and Flamers''), ''Mörser und Maschinengewehre'' (''Mortars and Machine Guns'') and ''Partikelprojektorkanonen und Laser'' (''Particle Projector Cannons and Lasers''), which describes combined just 9 weapon systems. The vast majority of weapons described in ''TRO 3026'' was left out. + * [[Hover APC]] − * All original sketches of equipment that were not included in sections ''Ausrüstung'' or ''Waffen'' were compiled in new section ''Schautafeln'', although no stats or any information other than its name were given. + * ''[[Guardian (Conventional Fighter)|Guardian]]'' + * ''[[Skulker]]'' + * ''[[Warrior (Combat Vehicle)|Warrior]]'' + * ''[[Harasser]]'' + * ''[[J.
