==Description==
 
==Description==
A boxed set expanding on the classic [[BattleTech (board game)|BattleTech boardgame]] but also playable as a stand-alone game, '''CityTech''' provided rules for tanks, infantry and buildings in addition to the standard game rules. It also presented a number of additional [[BattleMech]] designs and tanks. Conversely, it omitted several BattleMech designs that had previously featured in [[BattleTech, 2nd Edition]], as well as the 'Mech construction rules and universe background fluff save for ''[[Life in the Big City]]''.
