From the back cover
“ | Leap Into the Action! Strap yourself into the ultimate suit of armor: the BattleMech. Thirty feet tall and weighing up to a hundred tons, this humanoid engine of destruction is a walking arsenal with enough firepower to level a city block. The Classic BattleTech game system takes you into the world of the 31st century, where war has become a way of life. In command of the most powerful machine on the battlefield, your MechWarrior fights to take a planet or lose an empire. |
