Better than ever!
Ever wanted to walk around in a 100-ton death machine? Ever wanted to carry a high energy weapon in your backpack? Ever wanted to blow annoying bird aliens to tiny quibbles? With the new and improved Mechwarrior rulebook, you finally can!

This features a revised character creation and combat system, more rules, and a general enhancement on the innovative but flawed Mechwarrior, Version Two. It is also a DRASTIC improvement on Mechwarrior, First Edition. For one, your character can survive a fight without being crippled for life!

Overall, this is a great roleplaying game, and also a fair introduction to people who have never roleplayed before. However, it does lack some important background material, necessitating the purchase of some of the Battletech novels or sourcebooks.
