240 pages. The colorful illustrated cover/binding has wear and tear along all the edges and corners. There is a crease along the bottom left of the back cover. The back several pages and back cover has some crinkling presumably from moisture. All the words and illustrations are still in otherwise very good condition. Details all the new, state-of-the-art BattleMechs, both the improved Inner Sphere 'Mechs and those used by the Clans. Also included are construction rules for building new Mechs using the new weapons, armor, and heat sinks. A major step forward for the BattleTech tabletop game, this TRO introduced new BattleMechs, new technology and a new unit type-Elementals, armored infantry developed by the invading Clans. In 1996 there was a release of Technical Readout: 3050 Revised under the same product number with changes to content. The title was replaced in 2007 with Technical Readout: 3050 Upgrade which included all-new artwork, more units and adaptation to latest rule developments. This includes Engineers' Tests Weapons: ER PPC, Extended Range Lasers, Pulse Lasers, Ultra-Autocannon, LB-X Autocannon, Gauss rifle, Swarm Long-Range Missiles, Thunder Long-Range Missiles, Arrow IV Missile Artillery System, Single-Shot Missile Launchers, Anti-missile systems and Anti-Personnel Pods. John Andrew Keith (August 31, 1958 - August 7, 1999) was an American author and games developer. Jim Musser (September 15, 1947 - March 20, 2008) was a game designer, editor and journalist. He designed games for Mayfair Games and role-playing game material for FASA and TSR. FASA Corporation was an American publisher of role-playing games, wargames and board games between 1980 and 2001, after which they closed publishing operations for several years, becoming an IP holding company under the name FASA Inc. In 2012, a wholly owned subsidiary called FASA Games Inc. went into operation, using the name and logo under license from the parent company. FASA Games Inc. works alongside Ral Partha Europe, also a subsidiary of FASA Corporation, to bring out new editions of existing properties such as Earthdawn and Demonworld, and to develop new properties within the FASA cosmology. FASA first appeared as a Traveller licensee, producing supplements for that Game Designers' Workshop role-playing game, especially the work of the Keith Brothers. The company went on to establish itself as a major gaming company with the publication of the Star Trek RPG, then several successful original games. Noteworthy lines included BattleTech and Shadowrun. Their Star Trek role-playing supplements and tactical ship game enjoyed popularity outside the wargaming community since, at the time, official descriptions of the Star Trek universe were not common, and the gaming supplements offered details fans craved. The highly successful BattleTech line led to a series of video games, some of the first virtual reality gaming suites, called Virtual World (created by a subdivision of the company known at the time of development as ESP, an acronym for "Extremely Secret Project") and a Saturday-morning animated TV series.…
