Foreign-Language Editions[edit]
Finnish[edit]
The Finnish edition, titled Jylisevä Ukkonen, was released by PRO-Games in 1992. The layout and fonts used in the front and back cover differ slightly from the original FASA release.
From the Finnish back cover[edit]
| “ | Tässä skenariopaketissa on Mech-komppania Jylisevä Ukkosen historia, sen Mechsotureiden tiedot ja 16 Battletech-skenariota ja 2 Mechwarrior-roolipelin skenariota!
Jylisevä Ukkonen perustettiin aikana, jolloin Anton ja Janos Marikin välinen kamppailu aiheutti suuren kaaoksen. Tämä Mech-komppania on saanut tunnustusta palveluksistaan Vapaiden Maailmojen Liiton alaisuudessa sekä taisteluhengestään. Jylisevä Ukkonen, johtajanaan Kapteeni Gerald Cameron-Jones, on aina valmis ja halukas taisteluun. |

Notes[edit]
Although all Finnish BattleTech products were released by PRO-Games, the Finnish editions of the BattleTech, 2nd Edition box set, Technical Readout: 2750, MechWarrior: The BattleTech Role Playing Game and Rolling Thunder all have different translators. It is perhaps due to this that the translations of various terms such as weapons and factions have discrepancies between the different releases.
