BattleTech: Total Warfare (Hardcover)
Product number:
CAT35001
Manufacturer:
Catalyst Game Labs
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.
Total Warfare is the single-source rulebook for people who play BattleTech. It is not intended to teach new players the game, but rather to serve as a reference work for people who know the game, while introducing more technologies and expansive rules than appear in the basic box set. The introductory game in the BattleTech line is the BattleTech Introductory Box Set. New players should pick up that product before diving into this one.
Construction rules for the various units presented in Total Warfare can be found in TechManual.

BattleTech: Total Warfare
The book was a gift for my son and it was perfect. The book was shipped well and arrived quickly.

Math: The Tabletop Game
I don’t think I’ve ever read a book with so many diagrams and charts in it, and I majored in math

A rules reference for experienced players
Not for new players! This book will allow experienced players to quickly and easily find any rule they need in one book. Ideal for the traveling players, who doesn't want to carry a library with them.

Essential Battletech Book
If you're playing Battletech (classic) you're gonna want this book especially if you're upgrading from the starter boxes. All the essential rules are here and then some. (If you're doing Alpha Strike alone you can pass and get the Alpha Strike Companion)

Absolutely a great buy; allows all manner of forces to be fielded for play.
This is exactly what our group needed. Now we can add infantry, tanks, aircraft and spacecraft to the game. Although meant as a reference work this hardback contains all the additional rules for players of any level of play. 300 pages of BattleTech goodness.

All the things!
Before this book, I had several sourcebooks that we would have to consult, some from the 90s. This book will make our games run much faster!

Great quality compendium well worth price
It's a great compilation of the rules and extras of the battletech universe, including rules for infantry, aerospace, vehicles, and so forth, along with some cool fluff stories dividing the different sections. The paper is glossy and the print is good quality. The only gripe is that the sections themselves aren't clearly headed (except by the stories and a spine tab label), and some of the orders of rules are not always the most intuitive, but it's really a minor think for such a comprehensive book. There's also a painting and modelling guide at the back which, being a 20+ year veteran of GW and their nonsense guides of just mix a little snot green and chaos black and *boom* Michaelangelo's Customer chapel* is very down to earth and realistic for new painters. If you're entering the world of BT, this is probably a no brainer go to first buy, and the quality of production makes it more than worth the price (I believe 40k's changes every three years rulebook is currently $70, so, yeah...)

Awesome, but a little scattered
Some of the rules are a little all over the place and in some strange sections, requiring a lot of back and forth page flipping, but what's in here is fantastic. Bright, vivid colors, and great printing. Solid book. It is so great to see Battletech coming back.

Great book for all the Battletech rules
Great book but if you don’t want to expanding to other unit types other mechs the Battletech manual is a better buy.
