Technical Readout: 3058

Description

With the truce in effect for a number of years now, the Inner Sphere has been hard at work. This title provides all the gaming information needed on the newest combat vehicles and BattleMechs being designed and produced in the Inner Sphere (as well as a specific "oldie"), and information on the less well-known Clan BattleMechs now uncovered.

From the back cover

“

Incredible discoveries of ancient, long-buried Star League records have uncovered dozens of BattleMech and vehicle designs thought lost to antiquity. Re-tooled for the 31st century, these blueprints have produced the latest and most effective weapons in the Inner Sphere's life-or-death struggle against the invading Clans. BattleTech Technical Readout: 3058 provides illustrations, descriptions and game statistics for these classic units and for new Inner Sphere and Clan BattleMechs, including modular BattleMech designs featured in full color. Technical Readout: 3058 also offers a host of tanks, hovercraft, and other armored vehicles upgraded with the latest weapons and equipment.
