Battletech is the second edition of Battledroids. "A Dark Age has befallen mankind. Where the United Star League once reigned, five successor states now battle for control.

You advance into the hostile urban environment, seeking out the precious resources and technology contained inside. The city also provides cover for your many enemies. Infantrymen fire at you from windows, while tanks and armored vehicles snipe at you from the alleys and streets.

"As a pilot, you get plenty of danger and excitement. You also get a choice between cold death or hot death. You can die in the icy void of space or in the flames of re-entry. If you're good, you might even live to fight another day. The Succession Wars are fought over land. But the battles don't start on the ground, they END there. The first action is in space, usually about 160,000 kilometers from the target planet, as fighter pilots come screaming in at 1,000 kilometers per second in their DropShips. The defending fighters are in the air, too, weaving in and out,watching for shots at the DropShips or the attacking fighters. As the battle moves closer to the planet, all craft will have to deal with gravity as well as their opponents. You've either got to fight against it or find a way to use it. If the DropShip pilots live through the initial battle, they can drop their 'Mechs from high-altitude atmosphere. For two long minutes, the DropShips are sitting ducks, giving you a chance to shoot the 'Mechs on their way down. All surviving fighters dive into the atmosphere to strafe and bomb the battlefield. MechWarriors take all the glory for conquering planets, but they should never forget who put them there and saved their tails with a strafing run or a bomb dropped at just the right moment." 1986 ...

Then, too, there are the troopers who will be the unsung heroes of your infantry. You are up against a regiment of equal size. But that's all you know until you can get some reconunits close enough to learn exactly what elements your toe has at his command and where they are. As the forces close, you start getting some information from the front lines and the news isn't good. A unit of enemy light 'Mechs and hover tanks have drawn off your assault lance, and are now calling in artillery on them. Meanwhile, your main force is getting smashed by the rest of your opponent's might. Looks like it's going to be a long day.

I once saw a double-sided poster: personalities of the Succession Wars / map of the Successor States in a Succession Wars set. I have never seen this since, and it is not listed in the Components list in the rulebooklet. THE INNER SPHERE IN FLAMES... For over 200 years, the five Successor States of the near-legendary Star League have warred among themselves for dominion over the whole Inner Sphere. There have been three Succession Wars to date, but no victor. The cost of war is high. The leaders of the Successor States must weigh each maneuver to see whether the gain in territory is worth the loss of 'Mechs. Only the most ruthless and brilliant leader will emerge as the next Star Lord. ~ The Succession Wars is a 2- to 5-player game, where each player assumes the role of a House leader. All the most famous and infamous regiments of the BattleTech universe are at your command - the elite Kurita Sword of Light, the Davion Guards, and the mercenary unit Wolf's Dragoons. The game allows players to fight any Succession War, including the fourth, toward which the Inner Sphere is now building.

"As dawn broke over the battlefield ... The helicopters roared over the hill, skimming the tops of friendly 'Mech antennae. AeroSpace Fighters carrying heavy bomb loads hunted for the enemy airbase. At 1500 hours, the main 'Mech force moved out. The motorized infantry had pulled out about three hours earlier, and the tanks, both tracked and hover, had left an hour ago. At 2000 hours, the hydrofoil assault force skirted the enemy's rear echelon and called for support from the artillery fire base. The battle was joined.

"A single man ruled and controlled 3,000 star systems. The Lords of Davion, Kurita, Steiner, Marik, and Liao deferred to his will. After the explosive spread of mankind through the stars and before the chaos of the Succession Wars was a golden age of advancement. Unequalled levels of technology, human rights, and prosperity were reached. Planets bent to the will of man, as terraforming and weather control became both possible and economical. Agro-technology fed billions. The average human lifespan was extended to 108 standard years by medical science. But those same advances carried a curse, for the engines of war from the Star League era possessed power unequalled in the Successor States today. And in that time of great deeds stood the greatest warrior of all time, Aleksandr Kerensky. The Star League is a ComStar document detailing the history, commerce, organization, and military campaigns of mankind's finest moment, and the tragic failures that doomed it." 1988 ... 192 pages ... FASA 1630 ... ISBN 1555600700  Wolf's Dragoons
"No mercenary regiment is more well known, nor as universally respected. Indeed, other units of the Inner Sphere validate their prowess by surviving an encounter with the Dragoons. Among their ranks is Natasha Kerensky, known as the Black Widow, and perhaps the most romanticized MechWarrior in history. The strategic and tactical knowledge of Jaime Wolf, the heart and soul of the Dragoons, is beyond reproach. The unit's supplies and equipment are of the finest quality. Their 'Mechs never want for repair parts. Their ranks are closed and private. Since appearing in the Inner Sphere in 3005, the Dragoons have been employed in turn by every house of the Successor States. No amount of money, political power, or threats have coerced them to renew a contract. Speculation and conjecture over their motives and origin are commonplace and wildly varied. Governmental intelligence and security networks have expended countless man-hours and C-bills trying to learn their secrets. Now war consumes the Inner Sphere, and the Dragoons' contract with House Kurita has expired. Where they throw their support could determine the outcome of the war. This ComStar document is the most accurate, up-to-date assemblage of information ever compiled about the Dragoons. Their history, organization, and unique membership are exposed in great detail. Find out the who, what, where, when, and why(s) of the most powerful regiment in the Inner Sphere today." 1989 ... Anthony Pryor ... 128 pages ... FASA 1631 ... ISBN 155560751(?)
