| | BattleTech Masters |
 | | BattleTech classifies frequent players as veterans (11 to 49 games) and masters (50 or more games). | | | Playing BattleTech was the top-rated activity (8.4), which was deemed better than reading science fiction, going to parties, going to the beach, playing fantasy games, going to the museum of science and industry, rafting, working, going to the art institute, going to Great America amusement park, snorkeling and going to cubs games. | | | BattleTech players are mostly childless, not very married and often not romantically involved at all. |

| | Abandonia - Abandonware DOS Games - Download Battletech - the Crescent Hawks Inception |
| | Now for the verdict: Battletech - the Crescent Hawk’s Inception is a game which tries to incorporate the Battletech combat game with the storytelling of a role-playing game. | | | Battletech - the Crescent Hawk’s Inception (CHI) is the first of many computer games set in the Battletech universe. | | | Based on the (now discontinued) Battletech pen-and-paper tabletop game by FASA, CHI lets the player take command over a number of Battlemechs fighting other Battlemechs or infantry. |

| | Battletech TCG |
| | Battletech is a Barry Manilow of a game - one that would appear to be made up of parts of others. | | | So, with Battletech, the approach I recommend is to try and play with two, pack it away after half an hour, go away and read the rules (which are quite complete) and try again next week - it will work. | | | I quite like the idea of the mechs themselves, the miniatures based games look impressive, FASA have done some good work elsewhere over the years, and there are oodles of supplements so the game background always promises rather more than a demolition derby. |

| | Converting a Campaign to GURPS |
| | BattleTech allows critical hits under only two conditions: whenever armor is penetrated, but only on a "check for crits" die roll of 8 or more on 2d; and whenever 2 on 2d is rolled for hit location, a crit to a torso is resolved. | | | The group I game with was dedicated to FASA Corporation's BattleTech boardgame and the roleplaying rules, MechWarrior. | | | However, when a BattleTech skill roll is required to hit in combat, to stay standing after a difficult move, or for initiative in battle, a 3d roll against a GURPS skill or attribute replaced the BattleTech 2d rolls. |

| | That's all well and good, but neither gaming nor BattleTech is a religion, and hosting a gaming group is not like having a congregation. | | | Every time we expand our reach, by finding new players and inviting in younger players, we guarantee that we will have more gamers for longer, which means you have gaming for a longer period. | | | The New BattleTech means it's likely going to be able to push on into the realm of Star Wars and Star Trek, which is fairly rarified territory. |
