==Description==
 
==Description==
'''''Tactical Operations''''' covered the optional rules available to expand the core rules presented in ''[[Total Warfare]]''. It included extreme terrain and a host of [[Advance Technology|Advanced]] & [[Experimental Rules|Experimental Equipment]].
+
{{sectionstub}}
 
+
''Tac Ops'' was awarded Best Miniatures Rules at Origins in 2009.<ref>[http://catalystgamelabs.com/2009/06/29/battletech-wins-origins-award/ BattleTech Wins Origins Award]</ref>
 
 
 
In June 2020 the content of ''Tactical Operations'' was split into two new books that are sold separately: ''[[Tactical Operations: Advanced Rules]]'' and ''[[Tactical Operations: Advanced Units & Equipment]]''.
 
The original joined edition is no longer available.

A daring commander can take advantage of any or all of these... if he's brave enough to seize the moment!''
