Issue 114
Running Guns: Ground Vehicles for the BattleTech Game World By Margaret Weis and Kevin Stein, ©1986 FASA Corporation[1]
- The article is basically a preview of Technical Readout: 3026 and focuses on three combat vehicles, the Hetzer Wheeled Assault Gun, the Harrasser Missile Platform and the Schrek PPC Carrier. The statistics are correct but the fluff text of the vehicles is notably changed. For the Hetzer it is noted that "it has become standard practice to install robotic remote-control units in the Hetzer, using it as an unmanned scout vehicle". While the article is canon, all of it has been supserseded by later publications.
