Battletech is back!!!

^HA!

Rest assured that what is moistened is very difficult to make unmoistened. Dismoistened? Less moistened.

I started playing BattleTech right when the Clans were being introduced to the game-world, so for me it was normal to have them around and/or show up in a campaign -- generally as antagonists (our group still always played Mechwarriors from the IS or Periphery).  I can easily see why other players wouldn't care for them, though. 

Either way, this is a game I'm still looking forward to getting.  Even though I've not sat down and played the pen-and-paper version in almost two years now, the world of BattleTech/Mechwarrior maintains its grip on me; there's something about it I've always found fascinating.

I got introduced in the MW world with Clans as welll. I've always liked the invasion era tbh.
The sole reason I have such a hard time playing the tabletop game is the humongous time investment a single battle requires.
But, like Martok, the game never slips from my mind. The lore is just so well established and the game is so broad; you can play anything from tiny special ops insertion scenarios to full fledged intergalactic wars. Its insane really and the Mech vs Mech combat is just a tiny bit from the broad options the game system represents.
I hope the upcoming BT game will slowly expand over time and will include combined arms at some point.
At any rate, the game is easily my most anticipated game, along with MW5.

Dessicated

Dessicated loins? That sounds rough.

[bob48]

And in all probability, chaff.

Super excited personally.  I played the table top for years before I had to give it all away.  While I enjoyed the lore and preset mechs, I spent countless hours designing my own and running them against my friends.  I even once was inspired to write a (very) short story set in the universe.  I hope what they discussed in the RPS article is just the tip of the iceberg.

I haven't followed this game for a while, but it's been pushed back to a 2018 release now, right?

Lotion?

[MetalDog]

Aveeno...official lotion of GrogHeads (not approved by management or Aveeno, but, hey, that's the running joke....isn't it?)

[Gusington]

You're kicking it old school now.

[Zulu1966]

Is it worth buying the early beta access on this ? 60 is a lot for an unfinished game.

[joram]

Hard to say.  The skirmish game is pretty well polished and in my opinion, pretty hard.   Whether that's enough for you or not depends in your interest in the universe.

Handy if you have a bandit on your six.
