Reddit mentions of *OP CBT Total Warfare (Classic Battletech)

Hey, you'll buy the CBT rulebook and use that to facilitate battles with vehicles and mechs:

An easier/more cost-effective method could be to buy the CBT Introductory box set:

This way you'll get everything you need to run a game, including 26 'mechs of varying weights. Should be fine if playing from an IS perspective (Only 2 Clan omnis in the box).

Iron Wind Metals sells other minis, if you want more. I personally bought a truckload of old MWDA minis and am using those with the miniatures rules (no hexes).

Uh, I got my Total Warfare book from Amazon here in Germany. And it was in English (though they had the German version in stock too, mine had "language: English: in the product description), with free Prime shipping. What country are you in?

Edit: here you go, and dirt cheap! http://www.amazon.de/Total-Warfare-Classic-Battletech-Randall/dp/1932564772/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1462197035&sr=8-3&keywords=battletech+total+warfare
