HeavyMetal
Sarna News
(Redirected from HeavyMetal Pro)
HeavyMetal is a series of commercial software titles designed to complement the BattleTech boardgame. The software, developed by designer Rick Raisley and published by RCW Enterprises, assists the creation of custom units and maps for use in the game. Owing to its license, it is the only "official" software for this purpose.
A number of Record Sheets-type BattleTech publications by FanPro and later Catalyst Game Labs, both print and PDF, were made using HeavyMetal.[1]
