Contents

Reception

Jim Swallow reviewed Field Guide: Northern Vehicles 2 for Arcane magazine, rating it a 5 out of 10 overall. Swallow comments that "For the most part, the Field Guides are of the most use to wargamers using the Heavy Gear background, while roleplayers will likely see the mecha showcased here in the hands of NPCs and the enemy. Like most of the Heavy Gear material currently available, the books are produced with an eye to clarity and careful precision, and with a degree of modularity which means they don't have to be an essential purchase."
