The Magazine of Combat in the 31st Century
BattleTechnology was published between 1987 and 1995. Its contents were approved by FASA Corporation
and are considered to be Official optional materials for the FASA BattleTech Armored Combat Game
System. All FASA product names were used with FASA's permission. And, of course, all FASA trademarks
belong to FASA corporation.
A note on numbering and dating. The first creative team numbered its issues 0101 through 0204. This stood
for Year 1, Issue 1 to Year 2, Issue 4. 0204 was also Issue 6. The fourth creative team began to change the
dating of the issues in order to try to make up for irregularities in the publication schedule and to try to keep
the magazine in something like the same time frame as the story line of FASA's BattleTech game system
that had begun to jump decades into the 'future'. The premise was that each issue being put out was an
example selected somewhat randomly, from the actual 31st Century sequence. This line of thought led to
both The Lost Issues and The Early Years Special Issues.

A lightning strike by the 2nd Kearny Highlanders spearheaded a snap raid by Liao forces onto the Davion

policies contend that the war games and maneuvers recently launched are wasteful of precious war materials
and risk triggering confrontations such as Kilgore.
