Description[edit]

Master Unit List: Battle Value is a free Web-Exclusive PDF product used to provide players with specific information on units used in the BattleTech universe. A result of the MUL project, it lists Battle Value (2.0), Faction and Era Availability (Only Jihad or Dark Age eras), Technology level, and ruleset for a vast number of individual boardgame units.

The developers chose a "quality over quantity" approach for this product. While the actual MUL is a much larger project, the Master Unit List: Battle Value publication covers only those units for which official record sheets already exist (as opposed to numerous units for which only incomplete information is available, and sometimes only a name). It was stated that creating a record sheet was an integral step for checking a given unit's rules compliance and to recalculate its BV 2.0.

Product Write-Up[edit]

Is the WHM-6D's BV higher or lower than the MAD-6D? Is the Kopis a heavy or assault battle armor suit? What the heck is a Garm?

The Battle Value list is the first installment in the long awaited Master Unit List BattleTech game aids. With this product you will have a complete list of all units with a Battle Value, their tonnage, the era they were introduced and the factions who have access to them in the Jihad and Early Dark Age. The comprehensive game aid for building a BattleTech force and official BattleTech Tournament BV reference guide.
