Combined with the only slightly less massive MW3 (or CBT:RPG) core rules book, you have several hundred pages worth of RPG goodness. The Companion lives up to it's name, rounding out the core rules very very well.
A Point based creation system, quick NPC system, and for those that like the Lifepath system, they've almost all been included in this massive tome significantly reducing the amount of time you need to spend going through your books.
Want to make your own Lifepath? Now you can with an easy and comprehensive system.
It also comes with the much anticipated Battle Armor construction rules, for which we all have to be very thankful to MacAttack. Creating order where there used to be chaos, this fairly simple system allows you to recreate all existing designs, as well as create some awesome new ones. Lots of new goodies allow you to take the little toads to new levels of mayhem.
GM support it pretty elaborate as well, offering much in the way of how to run things and inspiration for new scenario's.
And I personally absolutely love the highly detailed and technical descriptions of how 'Mechs and BattleArmor function.
Reading this book is a very satisfying experience, and you're really left with the feeling that they didn't miss a thing. They probably did, but they hid it well.
Awesome book. Must-have for anyone interested in MW3, and even those using other systems to RP in the Battletech universe should consider purchasing this product. Almost anyone ought to be able to find a few things they like in here. |

To me The compainion has been VERY useful, the new terrains have been fun to use, the armor constuction system is a little confusing but is easy for veterans to understand, The new life paths and backgrounds a indepth and a LOT of fun to use. all in all it's well worth the money you pay for it, however if someone else in your gaming group has it then don't bother. |
