Description

The eighteenth in CGL's PDF exclusive mini-Technical Readout or TROlet series, Experimental Tech Readout: Primitives, Volume 3 (abbreviated as XTRO:Primitives Vol3) is a departure that instead of providing "modern" designs using Experimental Technology this is the third in a series of XTRO's devoted to Age of War designs, providing full fluff, stats and Record Sheets of six BattleMechs, five Combat Vehicles and a single Conventional Fighter from previously released Technical Readout as well as several combat vehicles, a JumpShip and a DropShip built with Primitive Technology.

From the back cover

Ancient Wonders

“

Before there was even a Star League, the technologies taken for granted in the thirty-first century went through their awkward paces in a universe newly opened to humankind. In an age when the BattleMech was nearly unknown, when the DropShip was a new concept, and when tanks and fighters dominated the battle zones, the technology of the day was primitive by modern standards… and each new design with an experiment unto itself.

Experimental Tech Readout: Primitives, Volume 3 samples more of the early technology designs that dominated the universe of BattleTech during the pre-Star League Age of War period. Each design featured in this book demonstrates the primitive technology level of the first generation of BattleMechs, the last generation of Combat Vehicles (before the ’Mech supplanted them), and the low-tech aerospace units that flew above them. Although many were ultimately upgraded to “modern standards” and shown in Technical Readout: 3075, the units featured here reflect these designs as they were when first introduced to the universe they fought for. Statistics and Record Sheets are included for 13 Primitive BattleMechs, vehicles, aerospace units presented in this book, ready for play in advanced BattleTech games.
