The Changing Face of Battle
In 3055, a new breed of Inner Sphere BattleMech started rolling off assembly lines--'Mechs specifically designed to counter the Clan invasion--at the same time that second-line Clan 'Mechs began to appear. Now, twelve years later, those designs have become a staple of the modern battlefield, giving rise to notable MechWarriors and new variants, while the demands of the ever-popular Solaris VII Games have resulted in a plethora of new dueling 'Mechs designed using prototype technology
Classic BattleTech Technical Readout: 3055 Upgrade presents, for the first time, 'Mechs built using technology from Maximum Tech, Revised and MapPack: Solaris VII. Upgraded in appearance and technology, the designs first presented in the Solaris VII box set and Solaris: The Reaches are now back in print, along with seveal new Solaris VII designs. In addition to the upgraded appearance of selected Clan designs, all the art work for Technical Readout: 3055 Upgrade is new, providing fresh illustrations of now-class Inner Sphere BattleMechs and Clan OmniFighters.
The 'Mechs in the Solaris VII BattleMechs section of this book are constructed using select equipment found in Maximum Tech, Revised and MapPack: Solaris VII. To use those designs, players will need the appropriate book.
