Dohoho where to begin with this gem.

First off, the "Playtesters" credits are the Allies and the Axis. No, I'm not joking.

Next, the stats for these vehicles are absolutely laughable compared to the stuff I'm used to seeing in BT. For instance, the Type 95 Ha-Go only has an armor value of 4 on its front. That is horrid and bad and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Finally, some of the Obsolete dates are also laughable. M4 Shermans being phased out in 2015? I think that's wrong. They'd still be around in at least the 2050's.

All in all, this is one April Fools joke you must pick up regardless if you're a BattleTech fan or not. You owe it to yourself, after all.

A fun take on converting battletech stats to historical vehicles, in theory you could fight a WWII game using battletech rules. Given the time it takes to play battletech compared to most available WWII games out there only the most committed would do so. You cannot complain at the price though.

A great free product, very informative. Compared to standard 2750 era and above, these once mighty war machines are a joke. A good read.

Excellent "spoof" source book - a great effort from the BattleTech team!

I found it to be an interesting, if incomplete read. But for the price it was an outstanding product

I think this product was OK. Of course it wasn't as comprehensive as a WW2 buff would like, but the limited detail was perfect from a battletech universe standpoint.

If you really need a reason to buy this, here you are: It's free.

Oh, you're still reading? Fine. XTRO:1945, while an april fool's product is not so much a joke as an early holidays gift to players, providing them with several of the machines of war that decided one of the pivotal war of mankind and the rules necessary to bring them into the full battletech game.

Why would you want to fight vintage WWII armor and air assets against advanced bipedal war machines armed with high-yield directed energy weapons and powered by fusion power plants, you may ask. If so, maybe you're here by mistake. Maybe you don't like giant stompy 'mechs and clicked on the link because you thought you saw a WWII tank and hoped to find a new historical wargame to play. I'm terribly sorry in that event, but you can always limit yourself to the armor forces in this product, build historical maps yourself and have some fun that way.

An April Fools joke, but one of the better ones. No King Tiger though...
