    RECOGNITION GUIDE: ILCLAN VOLUME 13 STAR SUCCESSION CLAN LEAGUE WARS INVASION CIVIL WAR JIHAD DARK AGE ILCLAN SampleCATALYST GAME LABS file INTRODUCTION 3 RECOGNITION GUIDE: ILCLAN VOL. 13 SAFACTOR, Words which once seemed impossible now seem inevitable: the ilClan is nigh. The turbulence of the last two decades has brought several of our fellow Clans to Terra’s doorstep, to say nothing of the Inner Sphere powers which gaze upon humanity’s birthplace with hungry eyes. But we know our people, we know their aggression. One of them will move to take Terra first and claim the mantle of ilClan, however briefly. If they intend to hold it, however, they will need new hardware—and, as ever, we stand ready to deliver. For a price. Contained within these volumes is that hardware. It is an intriguing combination of all-new BattleMech designs and retrofits of existing Inner Sphere and Clan designs with weapons and equipment suitable for modern combat. All are in our inventories or otherwise obtainable, and I have instructed all Merchant Caste personnel under my command above the rank of Point Merchant to familiarize themselves with the contents of these reports and be ready to negotiate terms for any merchandise herein. I hope you will assist me, “old friend,” with their distribution across all Khanates. The wheel of power is poised to spin once more, but we must be the axle on which it revolves. Who winds up atop that wheel, and who is crushed beneath it, matters little as long as we profit from each turn. —Merchant Colonel Reece, aboard CSF Atlantean, Skate Khanate, 14 November 3150 Welcome to Recognition Guide: ilClan, a supplement offering players exciting new ’Mech variants rooted in the closing days of the Dark Age era and the transition to the ilClan era.

  • PR-Plan-Battletech.Pdf
    EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The classic Battletech game has been re-released now for a few years. The initial push has subsided and most everyone is aware of the product line’s availability. A new push will be produced to generate interest in the younger generation that is new to the world of Battletech. An emphasis on demonstrating the concept of the game will be done throughout the year. Also important during this time is to allow new prospects to immerse themselves within the vast depth of the Battletech storylines without overwhelming them. Starting with the Gama Trade show and finalizing with Dragoncon, this push will take place. Much will focus on getting game stores to run either run demos themselves or find our local agents to perform demonstrations for them. For those who just visit our website, a proper video demo must be made to teach the game to all age ranges. Another video will be made detailing a brief history of the Battletech storylines and the factions within. 2 BACKGROUND Battletech is a classic robot combat wargame that has spanned over 20 years. Its gameplay has a fan base that has stayed with it while the game has changed through many hands and incarnations. Currently, Catalyst Game Labs, have acquired the rights to the game and have brought back the classic version of the game to the joy of many fans. Catalyst Game Labs is trying not just to bring back the old guard of fans to play the game again but is attempting to generate the younger generation into “Mechwarriors”.
