Alright, I'm running a military/tactical bad ass, small unit tactics sort of game. Everyone is clambering for Tactical Computers, Battletac, etc.

I never really got into what this shiznite was due to the fact that I saw a taccomp costing 400,000 and just gave up. Now it's come to haunt me as I can't even find where Battletac and all that good stuff is.

Essentially:

What is Battletac/Tactical Computers/That IVIS rigging crap?
Where is it in the books?
Is it even remotely worth it/have you played with it before?

Thanks!
