The Tech Kit (scroll down on link), is coming soon, and we've been working on a bonus poster to be included with it. Here's a preview.

I have now been given the same shivers I got pulling the original battlemaster out of the 3rd edition box and going to town on the map.

does it manage to depict sufficient ammo storage for all 90 Missiles for the SRM, or all the watermelon sized slugs for the guass? even more so than the hydralics, that was the thing i disliked about the older blueprints. Missiles systems seemed to have space for only one volley, or at best 2, because of the massive missiles depicted and the tiny ammo space shown.

JadeHellbringer · « **Reply #8 on:** 31 July 2013, 01:24:43 »

I want to hug this. I need to get two, one to put on my wall after I hug the other until it falls to pieces.

Size, I need to know size!

Is she 5th edition 3067 map big or smaller 25th Anniversary map big or what? I need details!

What model of Battlemaster is that?

And the name, it sounds like it's the Tech Manual tables, not the Total Warfare tables

OK, I made a mistake here but the description in the link in the OP could do with some work

Tired of hunting for a specific table in a rulebook? Wish you had heavy-duty reference cards for Total Warfare game play like that found in the Introductory Box Set? Then the Tech Kit is for you!

Based on the ammo numbers, missiles would have to be soda-can or smaller sized in most instances. If you remember an SRM 2 has 50 shots, that's 100 missiles in an SRM ammo bin. LRMs are even more with 12 shots for a LRM10, or 120 missiles total. LRM sizes might even be smaller, more like hot-dog or sausage sized.

I maintain: Missiles in BT are as big as they are nowadays, but stored in the same space Bender stores everything he puts in his chest.

And there's was much rejoicing!

I want this in ways that may be illegal.

(EDIT: Also, my new phone background)

That is undeniably pretty.

Oh my I apologize. My wallet just spontaneously threw itself at the monitor upon seeing that.

I think women's purses work the same way. My wife has so much stuff in hers whenever I go searching for something in there I'm surprised it all fits.

That is some good stuff, can't wait for it.

Weirdo · « **Reply #29 on:** 31 July 2013, 10:39:27 »

The ammo feed leading into the launcher certainly looks extremely small. If SRMs are truly that small, I can see 100 of them fitting into an ammo bin.
