Downloaded.

I am... intrigued?

[Odin]

I played this a few years ago, it's actually quite fun!  It uses the Classic BattleTech rules, but the game basics can easily be learned within a few matches.  If theres enough interest I'll download this and teach you all how to play.

[DragonEkarus]

I've got a few rule books sitting around.. one moment.
lol, I wish I knew what the numbers on the top of the bloody books ment but I've got:
Three "The Battletech Compendium"s numbers 1640, 1690, and 1691
and a "Battletech Maximum Tech" number says 1700

*shrugs* Haven't played in a long time, but if someone can figure out how this 'MekTec" works I'll be willing to join yah (Time permitting of course)

[Dtrain323i]

Maybe we can set up an event for saturday?

[Black Aspen]

I could do Saturday.

Ok, I spent about an hour messing with this game today. It is a lot of fun and easy to use. You can set bots so you can play by yourself. The only thing I haven't been able to figure out is how to repair mechs post battle. I'm trying to reuse the unit I created for another scenario and they're still damaged from the first round. (I have a Warhawk prime missing it's Left Arm and Torso after the LRM ammo blew up)

Depending on the mission, some damage will carry over, like if say an arm replacement takes 4 days, and your next battle is in 2 days, you can't fix it

oh god what am i doing

[Dtrain323i]

You can have tons of fun with the bots. I just went up against a company of light mechs while using Widowmaker. I killed 5 of them before I got killed.

One scenario I do is I take an Atlas and go up against a ton of elementals, then proceed to use only "kick".

I wonder if it'd be worth doing a Solaris death-match type event if we get this going...

Only if you make a face stomping NPC named Kai Allerad-Liao and have him piloting Yen-Lo-Wang

Yen-lo-wang is in the list of available mechs. I have to find a program to DL that will let me modify mechs myself.
