The Silhouette game system manual for Dream Pod 9's exciting science-fiction game.
Step into a whole universe¸ with Heavy Gear¸ the new generation of giant robot game. This book contains everything you need to play the roleplaying¸ the tactical and the miniature game.
A Hunter races past you¸ its rapid-fire 20mm autocannon spitting metal death. As you watch in horror¸ your commanding officer's Black Mamba erupts into a ball of raging flame¸ composite armor and fuel ablaze in a bright fireball.
"Fall back! Fall back!" Hastily¸ you have taken command. Your cadre pulls back behind a rocky outcropping and regroups. Tracers streak by your temporary shelter like angry hornets - you all know you can't stay here forever.
You crouch low and burst out of the rock's shadow¸ zipping¸ zooming and ducking on powered wheels like an oversized amored skater. A hail of shells explode on the ground around your Gear¸ but you sidestep every one of them. Unleashing the full power of your V-engine¸ you head back into the fire fight¸ emptying your shoulder-mounted 71mm rocket pod on an enemy heavy tank.
And they told you this was just a routine patrol...
