BattleTechnology

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

BattleTechnology was a magazine published irregularly between 1987 and 1995 by Pacific Rim Publishing Company dedicated to BattleTech, a tabletop game of futuristic combat published (at the time) by FASA Corporation. The magazine's contents included game scenarios, optional rules, technical specifications for BattleMechs and other units, historical and current events in the fictional BattleTech universe, and short fiction, all of which was approved by FASA. The magazine is generally considered an official source of optional materials for the game.

BattleTechnology was published in 8.5" x 11" format and generally included about 60 pages per issue. It was subtitled "the magazine of combat in the 31st century."
