FOREWORD
HEAVY GEAR BLITZ 3RD EDITION RULES
WELCOME TO THE NEW EDITION!
The story of Heavy Gear is still unfolding as war rages across Terra Nova. The Terra Novans continue
the battle against the invading Colonial Expeditionary Force from Earth and their subjugated allies. Now
the day of reckoning is at hand in the War for Terra Nova: preparations are nearly complete for the Terra
Novan counter attack taking the fight off-world. Will you stand with the colonists fighting to maintain
independence, or will you fight to save mother Earth and unite humanity under a single banner?
The players have spoken! This Rulebook is a culmination of years of development in association with
the players. The 25 years of heritage belonging to Heavy Gear is felt, not only in the stories of Heavy
Gear, but also through the passion of the players. Never before has such a close relationship between
the players and the company been possible. Join in on the discussions and share your experience on
social media and the
Dream Pod 9 forums.
Experience the world of Heavy Gear with digital downloads,
in-game photographs, blogs, and videos. Links to additional content can be found at our www.dp9.com
website.
Choose a side, muster the troops and get ready to fight; the War for Terra Nova has only just begun.
Thank you sincerely,
The Rooster
