  • RIP. Again. And again. And again.
It'll be some months for production to settle out, but seeing the Clan KS packs in stores now, it will come.
Alas poor Photobucket. I knew him Horatio, a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy.

  • One post down, a thousand to g... Oh we're here?
The rules app. WHERE IS IT? It's probably literally in front of me but I can't find it...

(Note: I'm freaking out because my Kid asked for me to send him screen shots of the basic tables. I know an app exists but IDK WTF to look quickly enough, my kid isn't near an printing capability, etc... I'm good. I have more PDFs than i need but that's pointless to what my kid needs...)
Even my Page posting rate is better than my KPD rate IG...

I think there is two routes.

Most people will just skip that post and go straight to Ilclan. The others  will want to see what the universe was at the beginning during the Age of Expansion or the AOW. Unfortunately there is not a lot of Material to go on.

Also correction I know Sven also said that Amaris and Kerensky fought a war on Earth in 2700s in Battletech. It took Kerensky nearly two decades to capture Earth from Amaris and with whoever he could convince joined him to take the bulk of the SLDF seeing the writing on the wall he left to prevent other states from trying to challenge the people he cared about because he lost so many during the Invasion of Earth.

Does the TechManual have any infantry or hand to hand combat weopons?

Corporal: Were under attack general.
General: who's attacking?
Corporal: Those 25 Urbanmech Mechwarriors you offended last week on Solaris.
General: That's....unfortunate. Could you remind me what I said to offend them?
Corporal: You said their Urbanmechs look like Locust-1Vs Sir.
General: ahh... I remember now.

If you meant "have" instead of "of", the answer is yes... ;)

Sorry about that, just to clarify it has weopons you could use for PCs in AToW right?

Not exactly; there's a table of all the available Infantry Weapons at the back, but they're in TW stats, not AToW. The best source for AToW weapons is still AToW (and the rad Shrapnel articles that sometimes cover a bunch of new ones).

How many pages does the TechManual have? I'm curious how thick it is.

354 pages for the 6th printing PDF.
Der Hölle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen,
Tod und Verzweiflung flammet um mich her!
Fühlt nicht durch dich Jadefalke Todesschmerzen,
So bist du meine Tochter nimmermehr!

The AToW Companion has a few more weapons, and the formula used to convert (most) AToW weapons to TW stats.
