Formulating the Fantastic!

Classic BattleTech Technical Readout: 3075 provides a comprehensive look at the latest machines of war debuting

during the Jihad: from 'Mechs to battle armor, Support Vehicles to DropShips and more. In addition, a complete

"Age of War" section covers the Terran Hegemony and each of the five Great Houses during the Age of War,

including the very first BattleMechs produced by each faction and how such machines are starting to appear

once more. Each military vehicle is illustrated in detail, accompanied by a description of its history, capabilities,

game stars, and some of the unit's most famous pilots. ISBN: 978-1-934857-03-8 • Stock Number: 35130
