QUICK-START RULES These Guickstart ules will hurtleyou onto the batiefields of the 31st century in minutes—simply read through he rules, then set up the gameas shown in the Scenarios section (seep. 9). SEQUENCE OF PLAY ‘A BattleTech game consists ofa seres of turns, During each turn ‘Mechs on the map may move and fire their weapons. Each, ‘tum consists of several smaller segments of time, called phases, ‘which ate performed in the following order: Initiative Phase Movement Phase ‘Weapon Attack Phase INITIATIVE PHASE ‘One player from each side rolls 206 to determine their side's Initiative. The side with the higher result has won Initiative throughout the tur. Re-olt allies. MOVEMENT PHASE ‘The side thet los initiative moves their ‘Mech first, The side ‘hat won initiative moves their Mach second, Each time a player ‘must move a ‘Mech, the“movet can be not to move at all. VVEAPON ATTACK PHASE ‘The side that ost initiative declares any attacks the ‘Mech will ‘make, specifying which weapons willbe fred and at which trgetis) The side that won Initiative then does the same, Each timea player must declare an attack, the declaration can be not to fire any weapons. RESOLVING WEAPONS FIRE Players resolve weapons fire one Mech 2t atime, The order In which each ‘Mech’ shots are resolved is up to that ‘Mech’ controller, Ail weapon attacks by one ‘Mech should be resolved before those of thenext Mech.

STANDING STILL \f the player declares that a ‘Mech will stand still the Mech stays in the hex in which it started the turn. ft can expend no MP during that turn and cannot move or change facing, Standing still provides no penalty to the ‘Mechs own weapons fre, nor that of, any other ‘Mechs which attackit.

However a Mech cannot move backward while running, If the player declares that a 'Mech wil run, it may expend a fhumber of MP up tots Running MP rating. A running ’Mech suffers +2 Target Number modifier when making attacks, but its speed may make t harder to hit.

These combat effects appear on the Attack Modifiers Table found on p. 7 and are further explained under Fring Weapons, p.9. Jumping features numerous exceptions to the basic movement rules; see Jumping Movernent, at right. MOVEMENT BASICS ‘After being assigned a movement mode, ‘Mech then spends up to the Movernent Points (MP) provided. A’Mech need not spend: all available MP, but no matter how few are spent, the ‘Mech’s movement mode does not change. MP unspent at the end of the: phase are lost.

JUMPING MOVEMENT “Jumping features numerous exceptions tothe movement rules. ‘Ajumping Mech can move 1 hex foreach available Jumping MP regardless of terrain. A’Mech may jump into the same hexit began the turn in for 1 MP. ‘A jumping ’Mech ignores terrain (and the presence of other ‘Mechs) in hexes it jumps through. However, It cannot land ina hex. containing another ‘Mach. A jumping ‘Mach also ignores facing: i ‘an jump in any direction regardless ofits initial facing, and chooses: any facing desired upon landing, TERRAIN ‘All hexescostat east 1 MP to enter. However, terrain often ralses this MP cost, as shown on the Movement Costs Table (sae p.4),For ‘example, entering a Heavy Woods hex costs 3 MP: the base 1 MP. for entering any hex (the distance traveled), and 2 MP more for the Heavy Woods (to navigate through the trees). CLEAR ‘Clear terrain represents fields, meadows and other arasslands. The ground is firm and may be gently roling, but its level does not change significantly from one side of the hex to the other.

The chosen hex is used "for LOS of all attacks between those two Mechs for the remainder ofthe turn. “The heres containing the attacking and target Mechs ‘are not considered when determining LOS. INTERVENING TERRAIN Terrain along the LOS between the attacker and the target is called intervening terrain. This does not include the hexes occupied by the attacker and target. ‘Woods: Thize or more points of intervening woods LIGHT Woops Light Woods hexes are covered with sparse trees. ‘Mechs cannot cross the hex (hence the +1 (MP cost) as easly as Clear terran. Treeintervening ‘exes of Light Woods wil block LOS. (See intervening Terran, at ight.) HEAVY wooDs Heavy Woods hexes are thickly covered in tees, making movement even more dificult (the 2MP cost) than Light Woods. One Light Wood and cone Heavy Wood hex intervening will Bock LOS. (See intervening Terain, at right) STACKING ‘A’Mech may not move through a hex occupied by an enemy ‘mech, not end its movement in a hex occupied by any anther Mech, COMBAT QWVEAPON ATTACK PHASED ‘ter al players complete the Movement Phas, thelr Mechs engage in combat.

When a weapon is out of ammunition, it can no longer be fire. FIRING ARC If an attacking ‘Mech has LOS to its intended target, the attacking player then checks the fring arc of his ‘Mech’s weapons to see which weapons can hit the target, as shown on the Firing ‘Arc diagram, below. Note thet the fring arc extends from the ficing “Mech to the edge ofthe playing area. ‘The maximum ranges for each ‘Mech’s weapons appear on Its record sheet FIRING VWEAPONS Playersuse thelr’Mechs'armament to attempt to inflict damage con targets.

TARGET NUMBER MODIFIERS ‘The base Target Number may be modified by several factors, Including movement. terrain (woods) and range.

For example, ifthe ‘arget moved backward three hexes and then forward two hexes,, ‘he target movement modifier would be based only on the final two heres of movement, resulting ina moaifier ofthe Movement Die would show a6) If the target Jumped this turn, the attacker applies a +1 ‘modifier to thelt Target Number, in addition to the modifier for ‘the number of hexes the target moved. TERRAIN MODIFIERS fern canreduce the probabiity ofa successful shotby forcing the attacker to account for intervening land features. Remember that three or more points of intervening woods block LOS—Lioht Woods are worth 1 point, and Heavy Woods are worth 2 points. Light Woods: Add a +1 modifier toan attacks Target Number ifthe targetisina Light Woods hex Apply further +1 modifier per hex of Light Woods intervening between the attacker and target (see intervening Terroin,p.4). Heavy Woods: Add a +2 modifier to an atiack’sTarget Number If the target isin a Heavy Woods hex.
