Cooling Turbines For Overheated Mechs - Sized For Battletech Maps

Turn the battlefield’s hottest zones into valuable tactical objectives with these sweet Cooling Turbines, a five-engine industrial installation built around an accessible central platform too cool down your overheated mech. Each component is sized to sit cleanly on a standard hex-based Battletech mat, making the set easy to incorporate into existing scenarios, campaigns, and custom battlefields. Official BattleTech mapsheets and models remain compatible with the current rules framework.

The turbines can function as ordinary industrial terrain or as an active cooling station that helps BattleMechs push their weapons and movement systems beyond normal limits. Under the recommended house rules, a ’Mech that ends its Movement Phase with its base completely inside the central cooling circle dissipates 5 additional Heat during the End Phase. But apply whatever house rule you want. 

For added tactical value, treat a unit standing inside the cooling circle as receiving half cover, representing the surrounding machinery, turbine housings, pipes, and reinforced platform. The individual turbine structures may also be treated as blocking terrain, buildings, or destructible objectives depending on the scenario.

This is unofficial terrain accessory. BattleTech and other mech-based games are not affiliated with this product.
