Name the Sourcebook
« on: 25 July 2019, 19:34:38 »
Wasn't there a table, once, that translated weapon damage back'n forth 'tween Battleforce and the RPG? I can only guess what edition, seeing as how I can't find it on my own …

BattleFORCE and the RPG?  Not that I can recall.  In the Combat Equipment book it converted RPG weapons to Battletech damage.  That's the closest I can think of.

ill jump in here with another question, I could swear I saw a book that had some bonuses for playing the factions. Like Clan Nova Cat getting a bonus to long range fire. I thought it was Strat or Tac Ops but I can't find it in them..

Either AToW or the companion.
Think about it.  It's what we do.

There was a chart in the back of the original TRO 3026 for the weapons in that specific book, could be that one?

If you mean TW scale and AToW scale, the AToW Companion, pages 168-171 is what you're looking for...

Thanks for this, mentioning the field manuals made me say no it wasn't them, than it clicked in my head that I was thinking of Era Report 3052 and the unit bonuses there. Thank you
