Summary: Proof Positive!
Comment: At least, in that FASA has charted out the Battletech universe for a while. Why? If you look in the Field Manual series (go ahead, check out FedSuns and Lyrans, I'll wait...), you'll notice they include new technology. Most of this new tech was included in MaxTech, except for the Lyran new stuff.

Basically, this is, as they say, an official house rules book for Battletech. They add in a bevy of alternate rules, new accessories (Light Gauss Rifle, Medium-Range Missiles), and new systems (gasoline-powered AgroMechs, anyone?).

It's a pretty decent book. Most of the new equipment is experimental, and not that useful, but could be fun for short-term use. They also include a nifty Battle Value Calculator, and give ratings to each and every published 'Mech and vehicle as of printing. There are also nifty tables listing every single thing you could possibly put on a 'Mech you're building, which is also helpful.

If you play Battletech, this is a useful purchase. It's not a must-have, but I'd recommend it.

Summary: Even More???
Comment: The book had tons of new rules for myself since I invent systems, weapons, and forces nightly (like multi-launch gauss rocket systems and anti-g) this started it all for me ( got before the BT MRules book).

Rating: 4
Summary: level 3 rules
Comment: A plethora of rules add on to expand your game. Take as much or as little of it on as you want. Admittedly, if you used every rule in it your turns might never end. highs: the rules for artillery make them conform more closely to real world. the expanded terrain is cool, and the modifiers for movement over 10 is included! Lows: the modifiers for the movement of the fastest units can make them quite literally impossible to hit.
