Take BattleTech ground warfare beyond the standard rules with Tactical Operations Advanced Rules. This hardcover reference expands on world operations with optional systems for commanders who want more environmental detail, battlefield complexity and tactical control. It builds upon the core play established in Total Warfare or the BattleMech Manual rather than replacing either book.

Advanced movement and combat options broaden how units interact with terrain, positioning and enemy forces. Commanders can fight through exotic weather and severe planetary conditions, employ artillery and minefields, and use command level communications to coordinate operations. These systems can be selected individually, allowing groups to add the level of complexity that suits a particular engagement.

Dedicated rules also cover advanced buildings and other complex structures, giving urban and fortified battlefields greater depth. General operational rules, record sheets and reference tables bring the supporting material together for use during play. This volume concentrates on advanced rules and battlefield situations; advanced unit types, weapons, equipment and construction systems are covered separately in Tactical Operations Advanced Units and Equipment.

This is an advanced rules supplement and not a standalone game. A copy of BattleTech Total Warfare or the BattleMech Manual is required to use these rules.
