Thanks for the quick information, the actual list, and the approval of lance composition. I couldn't find a copy for cheaper than $60.00 on amazon, etc....and did not want to shell out that much on a whim of nostalgia.

I wish I had that book. The old scenario books were always pretty cool, and that book had some sweet cover art.

I've seen most of the 3025 scenario packs go for far less on eBay.

Actually the author (Mike Hebert) was a grad student at my university when I was an undergrad. Meeting someone who'd actually been published was pretty cool.
Be the Loremaster:

Battletech transport rules take a very feline approach to moving troops in a combat zone: If they fits, they ships.

You bought the box set and are ready to expand your BT experience. Now what? (Thanks Sartis!)

Yep. The Rolling Thunder cover art is probably my favorite.
