Introduction of Advanced Tactical Missile?
« on: 08 April 2014, 09:48:25 »
Hello,
since I´m from the old league I don´t have any of the new rulebooks. The newest I have is the old Maximum Tech. In this I found a system called Advanced Tactical Missile. The problem is its described in none of my books. Can anybody tell me where it was introduced in the old Battletech rules?

AFAIK, it's not in any of the old rulebooks. It was introduced in Tech Manual I believe. Hope that helps.

It's not in any of the old books.   From your books,   think of them as sort of  Clan dead fire missiles.  They do NOT roll 3 die  but standard 2. They have a built in Narc  +2 on die roll.  Their Ammo is per ton and has to be marked as  short  medium and long range missile ammo per slot.
 The Short  [High  Explosive]  is 3 points damage per missile  Medium  [standard] +2  per  and Extendend Range or long range is +1 per missile   you find the number of missile hitting {adding 2 to die roll}  multiply that number by type used,  5 point clusters of damage on the target mech.
    The Introduction  date I don't know.

ATMs were first introduced in Field Manual: Warden Clans. The first true rulebook to include them was Battletech Master Rules. I think.

it was in Field manual warden clans pretty much exclusively until total warfare came out. we got plenty of ATM equipped units, but it didn't appear in main rulebooks until TW..

Not true! Their first core rulebook appearance was in the revised version of Master Rules back in 2001.
Good news is the lab boys say the symptoms of asbestos poisoning show an immediate latency of 44.6 years. So if you're thirty or over you're laughing. Worst case scenario you miss out on a few rounds of canasta, plus you've forwarded the cause of science by three centuries. I punch those numbers into my calculator, it makes a happy face.
