Experimental Technical Readout 1945
 |
Humanity's Finest Hour
Long before mankind reached out for the stars¸ the nations of Terra waged generations of war against one another. While each conflict underscored the barbarism and technological savvy of the human species¸ the Second World War stands out as the most epic and critical of them all. Locked in battle on land¸ sea¸ and air¸ World War II spared few as the Allied nations fought to hold back the imperial ambitions of the Axis powers.
Experimental Technical Readout: 1945 samples a number of designs that played a key role in the largest¸ and perhaps most critical conflict in Terra's pre-spaceflight history. Representing the military capabilities of the mid-twentieth century powers¸ most of the designs featured in this book are obsolete even by the standards of the Age of War¸ their weapons and armor rendered completely ineffective long before the days of the BattleMech. But if you're going to insist on using the anyway¸ statistics are included for 24 iconic vehicles and warplanes of the Second World War¸ complete with special rules that make them ready for play - either against each other¸ or against thirty-first century tech in BattleTech games where you need a chuckle.
