Description[edit]
ClanTroops is a supplemental rulebook that expands upon rules introduced in BattleTroops. Besides modifications made to existing rules, one of the biggest changes is the introduction of rules for using battle armor, armored power suits that are more difficult for conventional infantry to take down. The book also introduces new terrain types, equipment and abilities, such as calling in artillery strikes and most importantly, true anti-BattleMech operations.
The book also provides 16 scenarios set during the Clan Invasion of the Inner Sphere from the perspective of infantry commanders, from the invasion of Santander's World in 3049 to the Battle of Tukayyid in 3052. Plotting Elementals and Clan 'Mechs against regular, armored and battle armored infantry of the Inner Sphere.
Also included are errata on the original BattleTroops game, miniatures rules (i.e. playing without a board), a sheet of cardboard Elemental minis, a sheet of miscellaneous counters, and five mapsheets.

In several cases, the scenarios provided in ClanTroops conflict with other sources.
- In ClanTroops, the battle on Santander is described as a defense stand against Clan Wolf forces, rather than an ambush of Smoke Jaguars.
- The scenario on Twycross is described from the point of view of an Elemental member of the Falcon Guards who survived the battle at the Great Gash; however, numerous sources state that Star Captain Joanna was the only survivor from that unit.
- Team Banzai's field test of the then new Inner Sphere Standard battle armor (dubbed "gorilla suits") is shown as a raid against the Jade Falcons on Planting; however, Planting was held by Clan Wolf at that time.
- The Battle of Tukayyid is listed as taking place in 3053 when it actually took place in 3052.
- The Alyina assault by the Jade Falcons is done by a different Galaxy (one not in the touman) and units than the ones listed in Jade Falcon Sourcebook.
- For Clan Steel Viper, the book is giving to Khan names that are not aligned with the names of products created after it.
