  • Mechcommander: Gold Manual
    SUPPLEMENTAL A BRIEFING ****CLASSIFIED COMMUNIQUE**** Commander, as I stated in the vidcom, I am canceling your orders to return home. I know this is very tough on morale—you and your men deserve some R&R after your distinguished service in the attacks on the Clan Homeworlds. But I know that you understand the need to finish the job: to eliminate this threat to the Inner Sphere once and for all. On a positive note, Battalion has sent some new ’Mechs and weapons your way that should help bolster spirits some. • Three new Inner Sphere ’Mechs and the specifications for three new Clan ’Mechs. • Six new vehicles. • Five new weapons. • The waypoint feature. • The ammo conservation fire command. • Difficulty level settings. • Fire support mission hotkeys (for large and small artillery, sensor probes, and camera drones). In addition, Commander, keep your troops at combat readiness with Mission Editor. Create new solo or multiplayer missions on either Port Arthur or the latest battlefield, Cermak. Mission Editor includes: • Terrain, overlay, and building palettes for maximum geographic and structural flexibility. • Toolbars that allow you to manipulate your map in a variety of ways. • Unit and vehicle palettes through which you can detail variants, orders, speed, and colors, to name a few. • Objectives tools through which you can mastermind a scenario and play it out.
