Description:
HeavyMetal Battle Armor (we like to call it HMBA for short) is the latest in the HeavyMetal program series, and the first to include many new features that will eventually migrate to the other programs. These features include advanced Configurations (like Omnis, only for Battle Armor) that include multiple weapon and equipment loadouts in a single file, provision for running multiple HMBA instances at the same time to compare designs, specialty ammo, print preview and more.
HeavyMetal Battle Armor is the only Official Battle Armor design program, and is capable of designing all battle armor types and sizes, using rules published in the Classic BattleTech Companion. Battle armor ranging from Light (Power Armor) designs weighing less than 400 kg to the largest Assault designs weighing as much as 2 metric tons can be designed, as well as Quad designs.
As you've come to expect from all of the HeavyMetal programs, HeavyMetal Battle Armor gives you all the tools to design, including custom weapon design, manufacturer and model of equipment information, professional quality record sheets and Technical Readouts (both with pictures, if desired). All available weapons and equipment are included, and are updated as more are published. A Selection utility assists in choosing battle armor for games, full mixed arms BattleForce2 printouts and support is included, and much, much more!
With HeavyMetal Battle Armor, you will have available every official design published in all of the tech readout and record sheet books (a total of 55 files, with over double that including various Configurations), which are constantly updated as more are published. In fact, HMBA even includes the designs in the new Classic BattleTech Combat Equipment book! HeavyMetal Battle Armor includes all of them on the CD, along with over 150 more custom designs submitted by HeavyMetal users.
Also included are almost 70 high-resolution pictures of all published designs and almost 120 high-resolution Clan and House logos and other graphics.
