Description
The Battle of Tukayyid was the single largest and most climatic battle of the initial Clan Invasion. The Tukayyid scenario pack details the most notable turning point battles between the Com Guards and each individual Clan that participated in the battle. Along with background detail on the preparations for the battle, the scenario pack includes information for players to simulate Clan Batchall and Zellbrigen rules of engagement, and Unit Acquisition tables for both sides. Stats and record sheets for five new "Clanbuster" Com Guards 'Mech variants and one unique OmniMech configuration, the Timber Wolf (Pryde), are also included.
From the back cover
| “ | On 1 May 3052, the largest single engagement of forces in the history of 'Mech warfare began. Twelve armies of ComStar's Com Guards clashed with twenty-five Galaxies of Clan forces on the hills and plains of the planet Tukayyid. The prize for this battle was the glittering blue gem of the Inner Sphere, the home of humanity: Terra.
A combination of Com Guard ingenuity, Clan short-sightedness, and plain luck allowed the ComStar forces to defeat the Clans one by one—only Clans Ghost Bear and Wolf managed to win any sort of victory. At the end of twenty-one days of fighting, both forces counted ComStar the victor; Earth was saved. Tukayyid gives players the chance to change history. More than 25 scenarios represent all the major engagements of the Battle of Tukayyid. As the Clans, players may engage in batchall, or bidding, to determine who among them is worthy to lead their forces to the victory that was historically denied them. As the Com Guards, the players must use superior numbers and guerrilla tactics to overcome the Clan's advantage of technology and skill. Tukayyid is a BattleTech scenario pack that provides historical notes and personal accounts of this epic battle and features a unique point system that allows players to design balanced games and use the Clan bidding system. |

Notes
- This book is in sync with the descriptions of the battles in other ComStar penned sources released prior to it such as the Wolf, Jade Falcon and ComStar sourcebooks, however there are differences with future sources such as the Wolf's Dragoons penned Invading Clans which claim faulty intelligence/ComStar bias for "errors" in this book. These include errors in the names of several Khans and saKhans, the mis-identification of numerous units, and other factual mistakes. One of these was when it classified the Smoke Jaguar Loremaster Edmund Hoyt as a Khan.
- While the book lists the scenarios grouped by Clan, the numbering system next each one indicates their chronological order.
