BattleTech Tactical Handbook
BattleTech Tactical Handbook is a game supplement published by FASA in 1994 for the mecha wargame BattleTech.
Description
BattleTech Tactical Handbook is an 80-page softcover book written by Jim Long and Stuart Johnson containing advanced rules and additional equipment for BattleTech.[1]
The first part of the book offers
- a "double-blind" option for combat, where the two combatants maneuver their units on separate maps, and a neutral referee tells each player what is seen.
- a strategic operational campaign that links a series of scenarios together.
The second part of the book provides advanced rules for
- ballistic weapons
- four-legged mecha
- line of sight
Reception
In the November 1994 edition of Dragon (Issue #211), Rick Swan warned players that these rules added complexities to an already complex game, concluding, "All this is strictly for wargamers — make that serious wargamers. Role-players can put their wallets away."[2]
