Description

Designed as an introductory companion volume to the [[BattleTech Manual] rather than for existing players, Technical Readout: Succession Wars is a compliation of 'Mech designs from Technical Readout: 3039, Technical Readout: 3050 Upgrade, Technical Readout: 3058 Upgrade, and Technical Readout: 3075 and giving an selection of designs stretching from the Age of War to the cusp of Clan Invasion in a single book. While the majority of book is verbatim from full Technical Readouts that proceeded it, a small number of new art pieces and new variants are included.

From the back cover

Kings of the Battlefield

On February 5, 2439, the Mackie obliterated all opposition during its first combat trial, ushering in a new era of warfare. The BattleMech—King of the Battlefield—was born. BattleMechs reached their pinnacle during the golden age of the Star League. The fall of the Star League and the Succession Wars that raged for centuries afterward took their toll and by the Fourth Succession War, the technology employed on the battlefields was a mere shadow of what it once was. However, the discovery of the Helm Memory Core unlocked the technological potential to develop new BattleMechs and experimental technologies for the first time in centuries.

Technical Readout: Succession Wars is the perfect "first Technical Readout" companion to the BattleMech Manual. Combining the 'Mechs previously found in Technical Readout: 3039, Technical Readout: 3050 Upgrade, Technical Readout: 3058 Upgrade, and Technical Readout: 3075, this volume features some of the most common 'Mechs from the Age of War to the Succession Wars. Each machine is illustrated in detail, and accompanied by a description of its history, capabilities, game stats, along with their most famous pilots.

Notes

Unlike previous compliation volumes such as Technical Readout: 3039, Technical Readout: Succession Wars is not a replacement for other "full" Technical Readouts.
