Customer Reviews

FASA's last success.

Truth be told, TRO 3058 seems to be a culmination of FASA's previous experience with earlier tech readouts. That being said, it's quite apparent the effort was well worth it.No artist captures the feel of Battletech like Duane Loose. Rest assured he does not pull any punches with this one.The revamped vehicles are impressive, as are the rediscovered Battlemechs. Most of the goodies in this book are fairly well designed. Ballistic weapons are typically given workable quantities of ammunition (and supplemental energy weapons) and the majority of Battlemechs have sufficient heat sinks. Just the right amount of background information too.Well worth the cash, gang. Technical Readout 3058 is the best of the bunch. Do yourself a favor... avoid TRO 3060 (and TRO 3067 for that matter); it's not worth the paper it's printed on.

Not bad!

There are some of the best available 'mechs in this book, clan and IS, and although some of the pictures stink, they are mostly of hansome 'mechs.The vehicles are good, some even appealling enough to use. There are some excellent 'mechs and vehicles in this book, their write-ups are good and there are pictures that, if not excellent, do portray the look of the 'mech well enough. This is a good TR to buy, but perhaps shouldn't be your first.

Not bad but 3060 is better

I realy like the Turkina, and the Kodiak(but the pic for the Kodiak stinks). However the rest are a little bland for my taste. If you get only one tech readout, get 3060, but if you get two, get 3060 and 3058.
