BattleTech: BattleMech Manual

A hardcover rulebook that compiles mech-focused rules and commonly used equipment for tabletop play. It consolidates material from multiple core and expansion rulebooks into a single, easier-to-reference volume while omitting the most niche items and construction rules, which remain in the full supplements. Rules follow the standard system used in the core rules but are rewritten and reformatted for clarity. New content includes a small set of mech quirks, a complete quirks list for previously unassigned mechs, simplified advanced terrain and fire rules, and a quick-play Battlefield Support system for abstracted artillery, air strikes, and minefields.
