Description

This boxed set was the replacement for AeroTech, expanding its concepts and incorporating information from the DropShips and JumpShips sourcebook and other Clan Invasion era publications. The BattleSpace Sourcebook and Rulebook are bound together in one volume, similar to the DropShips and JumpShips sourcebook. This boxed set would later be replaced by AeroTech 2.

From the back cover

It is 3056, centuries since the fall of the Star League, and the Successor States of the Inner Sphere face their greatest threat ever — The Clans, warlike invaders from beyond known space. As the mighty armies of two civilizations clash on the far-flung worlds of humanity, their interstellar armadas wage war in the infinite battlefield of space.

BattleSpace, the new system of aerospace combat in the 31st century, thrusts you straight into the heart of this vast arena, where JumpShips, DropShips, and WarShips fight to carry their deadly 'Mech cargoes into battle. Fully compatible with BattleTech, the BattleSpace game system adds a whole new dimension to the wars of the future.

The BattleSpace game includes a rulebook, a sourcebook that provides the history of naval warfare and the statistics and descriptions of those ships currently in the Inner Sphere, two 22" x 34" full color mapsheets, color counters with stands, ship record sheets, and two six-sided dice.

BattleSpace is a boardgame for 2 or more players ages 12 and up.

Notes

Fire factors and Capital scale damage were introduced in this set. (Capital Weapons were introduced in Technical Readout: 2750 but they inflicted standard damage.) Rules for constructing WarShips and JumpShips were introduced in this set as well. Technical Readout: 3057 included two pages of clarifications and errata that dealt with BattleSpace.
