==Description==
'''''ClanTroops''''' is a supplemental rulebook that expands upon rules introduced in [[BattleTroops]]. Besides modifications made to existing rules, one of the biggest changes is the introduction of rules for using [[battle armor]], armored power suits that are more difficult for conventional [[infantry]] to take down. The book also introduces new terrain types, equipment and abilities, such as calling in [[artillery]] strikes and most importantly, true anti-BattleMech operations.

The book also provides 16 scenarios set during the [[Clan Invasion]] of the [[Inner Sphere]] from the perspective of infantry commanders, from the invasion of [[Santander's World]] in 3049 to the [[Battle of Tukayyid (3052)|Battle of Tukayyid]] in 3052. Plotting Elementals and Clan 'Mechs against regular, armored and battle armored infantry of the Inner Sphere.

Also included are errata on the original ''BattleTroops'' game, miniatures rules (i.e. playing without a board), a sheet of cardboard Elemental minis, a sheet of miscellaneous counters, and five mapsheets.

== Conflicts with Other Sources ==
In several cases, the scenarios provided in ''ClanTroops'' conflict with other sources. 
* In ''ClanTroops'', the battle on Santander is described as a defense stand against Clan Wolf forces, rather than an ambush of Smoke Jaguars. 
* The scenario on Twycross is described from the point of view of an Elemental member of the Falcon Guards who survived the battle at the Great Gash; however, numerous sources state that Star Captain [[Joanna]] was the only survivor from that unit.
* Team Banzai's field test of the then new [[Inner Sphere Standard]] battle armor (dubbed "gorilla suits") is shown as a raid against the Jade Falcons on [[Planting]]; however, Planting was held by Clan Wolf at that time.
* The [[Battle of Tukayyid (3052)|Battle of Tukayyid]] is listed as taking place in 3053 when it actually took place in 3052.
* The [[Alyina]] assault by the Jade Falcons is done by a different Galaxy (one not in the ''Touman'') and units than the ones listed in Clan [[Jade Falcon Sourcebook]].
* For [[Clan Steel Viper]], the book is giving to Khan names that are not aligned with the names of products created after it.
