We’ve heard from around the country of another successful street date, this time for Technical Readout: 3039 (CAT35121), the perfect introductory companion for the Classic BattleTech Box Set (CAT35000) and Starterbook: Sword & Dragon (CAT35100).

However, It has been brought to our attention that the ISBN Bar Code for Technical Readout: 3039 reads incorrect. Please note that the current ISBN Bar Code reads for Technical Readout 3050 Upgrades, not Technical Readout: 3039. The ISBN printed on the product is correct.

We’re currently working on a solution for this problem.

Thank you for your patience, and we apologize for any problems this may cause.

edited to change UPC to ISBN Bar Code

The Succession Wars

In 2781 the Star League was officially abandoned, ending a two-hundred-year-long Golden Age. The Successor Lords launched a series of massive conflicts in 2785 that would rage for centuries and become known as the Succession Wars. Such endless warfare took its toll, and by the Fourth Succession War of 3028 the technology employed on the battlefields was a mere shadow of the height of the Star League. However, the discovery of the Helm Memory Core started to unlock such sought-after secrets, with new BattleMechs and experimental technologies emerging for the first time in centuries.

Classic BattleTech Technical Readout: 3039™ is the perfect first Technical Readout companion to the Classic BattleTech Introductory Box Set. Combining the ’Mechs, vehicles, and aerospace fighters previously found in Technical Readout: 3025, Revised and Technical Readout: 3026, Revised, this volume features some of the most common units of the Succession Wars. Each machine is illustrated in detail, accompanied by a description of its history, capabilities, game stats, and some of the unit’s most famous pilots.
