STRIKE RULES GAME AID
INTRODUCTION
• Special:
Special abilities and features are described in the
abbreviations shown here. (See pp. 342-354,
Strategic Opera-
tions
, for more information.)
• ID (on reverse):
Use this area to identify individual BattleMechs
in the event that multiple ’Mechs of the same design are used.
In the advanced core rulebook
Strategic Operations
, we intro-
duced our players to a special new way to play
BattleTech
dubbed
the
Quick-Strike Rules
. A hybrid of classic miniatures play and the
BattleForce
tactical system, the
Quick-Strike Rules
(as presented on
pp. 400-409 of
Strategic Operations
) o
ers players the change to
rapidly resolve
BattleTech
-scale combat with a far more condensed
approach in terms of gameplay statistics and the like, statistics that
are also compatible with the
BattleForce
tactical game play system.
Within this electronic booklet are the complete statistics for virtu-
ally all of the BattleMechs,
ghters, combat vehicles and naval vessels
featured in
Technical Readout: 3060
, converted for use in
BattleTech
games played using the
Quick-Strike Rules
system. The full
Total War-
fare
statistics for these units may be found in
Technical Readout: 3060
.
BATTLEFORCE
The
Quick-Strike Rules
system draws so much on those of
Battle-
Force
that the statistics effectively translate the same way. The
only signi
cant di
erence, in fact, is that the movement rates in
BattleForce
are measured in mapsheet hexes instead of in inches on
hex-less terrain.
CREDITS
HOW TO USE THIS BOOK
The
Quick-Strike
cards provided in these pages are designed to be
printed, cut out, folded over, and pasted for ease of handling and
storage. Players so inclined may even have these cards laminated to
preserve them better over time and frequent use. Each card, when
properly cut and folded, will feature the
Quick-Strike Rules
gameplay
data on one side and an area to note scenario information on the
other. An image of the unit also appears on these cards, so that play-
ers unfamiliar with the various units (but who have access to their
miniatures) can match the unit with its corresponding image.

QUICK
STRIKE BATTLETECH
The
Quick-Strike Rules
system is a simple adaptation of the
Battle-
Force
gameplay system using more
exible tactical-scale miniature
rules. While the full
BattleForce
rules are found in
Strategic Opera-
tions
, players can download a free PDF of the
BattleForce Quick-Start
Rules
to get a feeling for that tactical game system and how it
meshes with the Miniatures Rules to create the
Quick-Strike Rules
.
The statistics shown on each card include the following data:
• Unit Size (Size):
A numerical value indicating its weight class.
(1 = Light, 2 = Medium, and so forth.)
• Movement (Move):
The number of inches the unit may move in
gameplay. (If a “j” appears afterward, the unit can jump.) Note: In
Quick-Strike
play, movement is inch-based instead of hex-based
as in normal
BattleForce
play. The number shown has been
doubled from the unit’s normal
BattleForce
movement value.
• Skill:
This blank area is where the player can indicate the base
to-hit number for the unit. (A 4 is a common regular score, while
a 1 or a 0 indicates an elite warrior.)
• Damage values at each range bracket—S (+0), M (+2), and
L (+4):
This is the number of points of damage the unit will
deliver at Short, Medium, and Long range, respectively.
• Overheat Value (OV) and Heat Scale:
This indicates the
number of added points of damage the unit can deliver in
exchange for suffering overheat effects. (Overheating is
tracked on the heat scale. If this scale reaches—or exceeds—
“S”, the unit is shutdown.)
• Armor and Structure (A and S):
These bubbles indicate how
many points of Armor and Structure damage the unit can
sustain before being destroyed. (Damage to the structure dra-
matically increase the chance of critical damage.)
