As a FanPro house magazine, Wunderwelten naturally had a broad coverage of FanPro's products, most notably the [[w:The Dark Eye|Das Schwarze Auge]], [[BattleTech]] and [[Shadowrun]] game lines. However, it was aimed at a greater audience and was not limited to FanPro products; it featured general reports and articles about fantasy and science fiction literature and gaming, short stories and reviews of other firms' products as well.

Most BattleTech-related content was taken from English-language magazines and sourcebooks, but there was also considerable original content. Both the translations and the original content were usually the work of [[Reinhold H. Mai]], [[Hartwig Nieder-Gassel]] and [[Frank Lenzer]].

*Portrayal of [[FASA]] and a lengthy 5-page interview with [[Jordan Weisman]], [[L. Ross Babcock III]] and FASA President [[Morton Weisman]], taken in August 1988 at the FASA offices in Chicago on the eve of the Gen Con/Origins game fair. Since Jordan Weisman was called from the room 20 minutes into the interview, the answers were largely given by Ross Babcock and Mort Weisman. This is notable insofar as both of them rarely had any information published about them otherwise.

A medium 'Mech company from the [[26th Lyran Guards]] has to find and destroy a submarine base in a Lyran attempt to recapture the ocean moon [[Muddy]] in the [[Engadin]] system from the Draconis Combine. The defenders field hovercraft, ships, submarines and water-mobile infantry on water scooters. There is only one island large enough to land a DropShip on, and numerous archipelagos of small, muddy islands that have to be reconnoitered. A strategic world map is provided for strategic movement of units between archipelagos, as are special weather rules including rain season rules.
