It is the 31st century, a time of endless wars that rage across human-occupied space. As star  empires clash, these epic wars are won and lost by BattleMechs, 30-foot-tall humanoid metal titans  bristling with lasers, autocannons and dozens of other lethal weapons; enough firepower to level entire city blocks.

 

Your elite force of MechWarriors drives these juggernauts into battle, proudly  holding your faction's flag high, intent on expanding the power and glory of your realm. At their  beck and call are the support units of armored vehicles, power armored infantry, aerospace fighters  and more, wielded by a MechWarrior’s skillful command to aid him in ultimate victory. Will they  become legends, or forgotten casualties? Only your skill and luck will determine their fate!

 

The  product of more than twenty years of gaming experience, Total Warfare presents the rules of the  BattleTech game system as never before. For the first time, all the rules for various units that  have a direct impact on the deadly battlefields of the thirty-first century appear in a unified  rules set: from BattleMechs to ProtoMechs, Combat Vehicles to Support Vehicles, infantry to  aerospace fighters and DropShips.

 

Interwoven and meticulously updated, Total Warfare provides the  most detailed and comprehensive rules set published to date for BattleTech,the perfect companion  for standard tournament play.
