The city also provides cover for your many enemies. You advance into the hostile urban environment, seeking out the precious resources and technology contained inside. "As war rages across the Inner Sphere, BattleMechs from the five houses pillage the cities of the old Star League. If there are changes to the rules, they are too modest to be seen on a thumb-through.Ĭitytech: The Battletech Game of Urban Combat Same rulebook, same mech book, and still 14 mechs. The box itself is deeper, probably to better house the plastic mechs, which were a tight fit in the 1992 set.ĭespite being called "Revised" on the back, there are no major changes to my eye. The box graphics are slightly different, more on the back than the front. In 1994, FASA released an updated version of the 3rd edition box. * One 16-page book of pregenerated BattleMech Record Sheetsġ992, 1994. * 14 unpainted plastic miniatures (some assembly required) of the most common BattleMechs used in the Inner Sphere This is the rare and coveted 3rd edition Battletech, the attraction being the 14 plastic mechs inside. I've seen a later print with an order sheet dated May, 1989.īattletech: A Game of Armored Combat (3rd Edition) References to Battledroids are removed, as are the FASA advertising graphics. The later version replaces the cover art on the back with a scene of mechs on the march on an alien planet. The early printing also has advertising for other FASA releases on the outside wall of the bottom lid. These maps disappear quickly from later printings, and replaced with the more common cardstock play mats familiar to Battletech players. The maps inside are the flimsy paper style seen in Battledroids (but are properly labeled "Battletech"). The bottom lid art depicts mechs fighting in a swamp. The early printing even states "BATTLETECH is the second edition of BATTLEDROIDS" on the back. The second edition of Battletech went through some changes from the time of its quick facelift as a re-labeled Battledroids in 1985 to its replacement with 3rd edition in 1992. * 1 40-page rulebook, including 10 pages of history, background, and technical information * 48 cardboard stand-up mechs, with full-color front & back views. Control of these elements will lead to final victory and the domination of known space." The Succession Wars are fought over water, ancient machines, and spare-parts factories. The advancement of technology has not only ceased, but the machines and equipment of the past cannot be produced by present-day worlds.
The destruction of war has ravaged the once-flourishing worlds and left them in ruins. Where the United Star League once reigned, five successor states now battle for control. Not mentioned in the contents list are 2 hex play mats. Now, you can control the BATTLEDROIDS, infantry, and tanks in this exciting game of warfare in the 30th century Successor States."īattletech: A Game of Armored Combat (2nd Edition) īattletech is the second edition of Battledroids. These huge man-shaped vehicles are faster, more mobile, better armored, and more destructive than a battalion of 20th Century tanks. The battlefields of the Succession wars are dominated by the most awesome war-machines in man's history, the BATTLEDROIDS. Now, the Succession Wars are fought over water, ancient machines, and spare-parts factories, for control of these elements will lead to the final victory and domination of all known worlds.
