Original electronic Scanned image These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching.
However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.
For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high.
It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive. Original electronic format These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books.
Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality. Here is a sample of a page from a watermarked title:.

Newsletter RSS Feed. Personal Combat contains all the rules necessary to fight in Armageddon , and a variation of the Defence Value rules first used in the Judge Dredd RPG is used here to reflect the capabilities of armour and weaponry of the modern age.
Dangers other than combat are also included, including the most complete list of poisons and diseases that I have yet seen in a d20 game! Want to inflict CS or nerve gas on your players? No problem! If they are still standing after that, a dose of Anthrax or Weaponised Ebola may have them running for their WarMeks in very short order.
A sizeable portion of this rulebook is taken up by, predictably, the WarMek and Vehicle Combat chapter. After all, this is a game of mechs! It is here that the d20 System has been tweaked the most, for while the basic concepts of combat remain the same Initiative, 6 second rounds, etc. Every WarMek is divided into several locations, each of which has its own set of Armour and Structure Points.
In addition, WarMeks are incredibly power hungry and players must keep a constant eye on the power output of their machines, lest they be 'caught short' just when they need to fire their main weaponry. We really have tried squeezing every aspect of warfare Meks should be capable of into this rulebook, meaning that players will likely have far more to do than just hunt down their latest mercenary contract.
The next chapter, Electronic Warfare, Communications and Scanning, is one of my favourites, as it demonstrates just how much detail you can include in your games, if you so wish - it also lends itself to players creating ambushes by minimising their own signatures while scanning for the enemy, leading to some very tense situations.
Visual scanning looking out of the cockpit is covered first, enabling Games Masters to set up realistic encounter distances, while applying the effects of light, camouflage and weather. However, no self-respecting WarMek pilot operates on sight alone. The entire electromagnetic spectrum is available to the skilled WarMek pilot, and the best learn how to track enemies through the use electromagnetic, infrared, radar, magnetic and seismic signatures while minimising their own.
Also detailed are various forms of electronic attack, codebreaking, jamming and deception through a variety of different means - Comms Officers can be fairly said to be the new 'wizards' of Armageddon and their highly specialised machines, while often undergunned, can swing entire battles by their mere presence. Who said the assault guys get all the glory!!! I have to confess, at the GAMA trade show last week, whenever someone asked about Armageddon , I always turned straight to the WarMeks of the World chapter as it is pure eye candy!
Over thirty mek designs are provided, all in glorious CGI and complete with rules, histories, design flaws and special traits. When we began designing these meks, we decided very early on to base them on the corporations that build them - so, the meks from one manufacturer will all have certain common features.
What this means in game terms is that one 85 ton mek is going to be very different from another of the same size, even if it has similar armour and weapons capabilities - think of it as comparing cars of the same spec between Toyota and Ford!
Of course, you are not going to be satisfied with thirty-odd Meks, are you? Not by a long shot! The next chapter, Mek Construction, provides full rules to allow the use of custom WarMeks in the game, allowing players to specify their fighting machines down to the last nut and bolt.
Power plants, for example, range from gas turbines, through fuel cells, right up to the latest Tokamak designs. WarMek Technology does for Meks what Personal Equipment did for characters, and there are a lot of cool 'toys; to play with here! And how is this for something seriously cool - being able to launch a shoulder-mounted UAV to scout the terrain ahead, launch pre-emptive attacks or even correct your own artillery fire?
Of course, your enemies get these choices too. Full rules are also included for the use of UAVs and robotic followers designed to support armies in the field. The World of is a chapter packed with information describing the nations and politics of the modern age, and how the Armageddon War inevitably came into being. From the aggressive rise of the European Federation to the trade wars and skirmishes that soon followed as it began to compete directly with the US, the course of the war has been plotted, leaving players right in the middle of the conflict.
Students of real-world politics will find much to get their teeth into here, for everything has been based on speculation and extrapolation of actual events - take it as a warning if you wish!
Also covered are the other areas of the world and how they have been forced into polarisation with the EF or USA. This leaves many interesting areas for players to be based or forced to wage war in, and I have a feeling that Kazakhstan also featured in the first campaign pack to be released for Armageddon will be a popular choice for Games Masters who like to inject a heavy dose of political intrigue into their games.
Following this, the Corporations chapter takes a good look at the real movers and shakers of , those powers who can hold entire governments to ransom. Many corporations hold sway over various regions of the world, from those producing computer hardware, weapons and WarMeks to food producers, medical services and housing. Any successful mercenary company has to understand the complex relationships between rival corporations if it hopes to profit and survive during the Armageddon War.
Finally, a complete chapter is dedicated to helping Games Masters run entire Campaigns in Armageddon - information is provided as to how mercenary companies usually operate, what tactics are used and how scenarios should be structured to realistically portray the world of Advice is also presented on how to handle weapons of mass destruction in games and how to avoid party wipe-outs! Armageddon Total War wraps up with a detailed glossary, a full index and a stunning set of character and record sheets, all ready for play.
This is by far the most ambitious project Mongoose Publishing has produced to date and many hundreds of man-hours have gone into the production of this game.
The first supplement, War Machines of , is following hot on the heels of the main rulebook and provides over 50 new WarMek designs and special rules, including the appearance of four-legged meks. Armoured Companies does for tanks what the main rulebook has done for meks, while the Soldier's Companion allows players to take the part of special forces or espionage agents in the Armageddon War.
On top of all this, full campaign packs will soon be available, as well as an all new range of novels designed to flesh out the world of yet further and introduce you to some of the heroes and personages of power present in the war.
Mystic Eye Games have also committed themselves to supporting Armageddon Total War with their own range of supplements and scenarios, making this one of the best supported d20 System RPGs available.

All that was required to initiate the reaction was a small electric charge. Throughout history humans have been dependent on machines to survive. Fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony.
