Introduction

The granddaddy of all giant robot games has returned. In Hasbro Interactive's Mechwarrior 3, you take command against the Smoke Jaguar Forces for a multiwave assault on their heavily fortified installations. During the initial missions of the campaign, several Mech lances are defeated, leaving you and your lancemates alone to finish the job that no one else could complete.

Through Mechwarrior 3's difficult solo campaign, you should become familiar with the various scout, light, medium, heavy and assault Mechs as well as the dozens of different weapons and equipment you can mount on each. Basic information on the Mechs and their weapons are detailed in the game's manual. This guide will fully explain how best to implement them on the fields of battle:

• General gameplay tactics and concepts such as ordering your lancemates effectively, salvaging weapons and ammunition and using your Mobile Field Base.
• Movement and combat techniques from long-range sniping to close-range dogfighting.
• Detailed mission walkthrough for the entire solo campaign, including tactics on surviving specific battles and recommendations on which Mech to take with you.
