Welcome!
The fan-made BattleTech Technical Readout:3063 is finished.
There are two versions: one is Web-quality and about 37mb in size. The other is Print-quality and is about 95mb.
There are several additional books you can download that are directly associated with this TRO.
- Record Sheets: 3063 - as you might imagine, a PDF file containing all the record sheets for the TRO entries, including all the variants mentioned in each entry.
- QuickStrike Cards - these are cards corresponding to each record sheet; they are for use with the BattleForce version of the game.
- Art of the TRO - a fifty-plus page book outlining the evolution of the TRO art. This includes the art we did not use, as well as sketches and alternate views. Also inside is a section on the playtesting of the entries and an illustration of the various miniatures we created for our playtest. Also! a bonus TRO entry.
Here are the links:

Our next project will be a BattleTech Infantry Primer. We feel that infantry are a much-maligned, much-ignored force in the game. This, despite the carefully designed rules for their use! So we are writing a book to guide you through the process of selecting, assembling and deploying infantry in a game of big stompy robots. Think of it as 'BattleTech Infantry for Dummies'.
This is the link to the new blog. We hope to see you there!

Thank you for your support - and for stopping by!

Thanks for such an outstanding result. I do have a small problem however. When I enter the Privateer into Heavy Metal Pro or Solaris Skunk Works the design comes out a ton under weight and 10 points short of the quoted BV2. The cost is right though. It's not a biggie, but I thought you would like to know.
ReplyDeleteThese were originally designed in HMP and unfortunately, that program does not handle ferro armor and some other things according to the Total Warfare construction rules. Same with the BV2 - although, you gotta admit ten points is pretty darn close!
ReplyDeleteI don't know what else to say.
ReplyDeleteGreat work!
Thanks for the TRO sir, I expect for it since very long time, following ur work for some years.
ReplyDeleteI happy with the conclusion of de book, great job!!
I followed the realization of the book two years ago, I love knowing that you finally finished, I greatly appreciate your effort, I gladly under printable version and the Art of the TRO.
ReplyDeletegreat work!
Yeah, well... someone disliked it enough to launch a Denial of Service attack on my OpenDrive account. I blocked the IP (65.43.174.137) but cannot understand why someone would bother to do that.
ReplyDelete:-(
Your work ist just great!
ReplyDeleteAttacking it can have only one cause: Envy ;)
Just keep your chin up and don't let it drag you down.
Ran into this blog a couple of months back and enjoyed the articles and the art updates that I ended up bookmarking the site. Just swung around to see if anything was new and found out that The book was finished. I'm reading through it now and I find myself really impressed at the depth of the backstory for the TROs.
ReplyDeleteGreat Job and I'm doubly excited for your next project, The Infantry Primer!
Kudos.
@Ramon:
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it! Let me know if there is anything you think should be in an Infantry Primer (what have you always wanted to do with infantry but did not know how?) and send me a design you think might be appropriate.
Excellent piece of work. I'll be happy to use these designs in my campaign. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure. A year and a half later there are still people coming here to look around and then download. Warms my heart. Thank you for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteGreat Work, Thank You!
ReplyDeleteExcellent piece of work, quite impressed really.

ReplyDelete@Trevor: glad you liked it! Be sure to download all the peripheral stuff too - there are extras and extra art to be had, in addition to the Alpha Strike cards and Record Sheets for this fan effort.
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing work, you and everyone involved should be proud. Thank you :)
ReplyDeleteDo the download link still work? Cannot seem to download the TRO.
ReplyDeleteUse the Mediafire address for all the stuff. My links have encountered an issue at the OpenDrive server, as of this date.
ReplyDeleteSorry the mediafire links aren't working
ReplyDeleteThe Mediafire links don't seem to be working
ReplyDeleteHmmm. I checked and you're right, the links return a '404' and don't go anywhere.
ReplyDeleteI will check my OpenDrive account again. I have already emailed Bad Syntax and asked him to look into the Mediafire thing, since it belongs to him.
Meanwhile, I will look around for other sites. I know that Aries Miniatures has a copy of the Print-Quality book for download. But none of the other stuff is there (Art of the TRO, Record Sheets, etc)

ReplyDeleteTry that.
I updated the links. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteSteve
Worked fine, thank you.
ReplyDeleteLooks like it's missing. The links says something gone wrong.
ReplyDeleteNo problem with the links. They're not hypertext. You have to copy them into your browser bar and then they will begin downloading.
