Recognition Guides Vol. 23 and Vol. 24 Now Available!

On December 24, 2021

It’s been a long road, but we’re pleased to present the final two installments of BattleMech Recognition Guide: ilClan, Vol. 23 and Vol. 24. It’s a special double-shot of Rec Guides, as a thank you for bearing with the recent rescheduling during this cycle.

And, a further thank you for your continued support of these products! When we released the first volume back in June of 2020, we couldn’t be sure how things would go. But we’ve been extremely pleased with the excitement you’ve shown for each installment–it’s been a lot of fun to see the discussion around each volume and each ‘Mech as they’ve appeared.

There are many, many people to thank for the success of BattleMech Recognition Guide: ilClan, but one in particular is deserving of special…recognition. Product developer Johannes Heidler has been the guiding light of this project from its very inception; the Rec Guides would very literally not exist without his hard work and commitment. Thank you, Johannes, from all of us.

Finally, we’re well aware of the immense interest in getting the Rec Guide material in a printed form. We have a plan to tackle doing just that, which we’ll share along with some other news early in the New Year.

For now, please enjoy these two volumes, and from all of us involved in the production and development of BattleTech, best wishes for a peaceful, warm, and healthy holiday season.

Recognition Guide: ilClan, Vol. 23

PDF: $3.99

The march of technology across BattleTech’s eras is relentless—but some BattleMech designs never die. Each installment of this PDF-only series not only includes a brand new BattleMech or OmniMech, but also details Classic ’Mech designs from both the Inner Sphere and the Clans, now fully rebuilt with Dark Age technology (3085 and beyond).

Allowing beloved units redesigned for the BattleTech: Clan Invasion crowd funding campaign to be competitive on “modern” battlefields, this series also includes in-universe development notes, battle histories, notable pilots, and record sheets for each ’Mech. Released as a series of 24 PDF-only documents through 2020 and 2021, many ’Mechs featured in this series will be collected in print upon its completion.
