A classic game that hasn't change for decades but it doesn't mean it does not have its flaws. If you want to play this game within an afternoon or even a day, no more than 4 mechs on each side. The more mechs you play and/or the further down the BattleTech timeline (which added more weapons and advance equipment which introduces more mechanics you need to consider), the longer the game will take.

If you ask me, it's ultimate flaw is the way armor penetration works i.e. it's more of a hit point than a single stat to bypass with a high enough caliber weapon.

Great combined arms rules for the OG Mech battle game.

A great book with all the information needed to play the game. Even if a player has the box sets, I recommned buying this book.

This product really sells itself.

Very good looking and professionally laid out.

Highly recommended if you are interested in Battletech.

This is an excellent update to the Battletech rules, it clearly codifies what people who are playing need to know. It could do with a batch of training scenarios, but then again if it did no one would need to buy the box set, LOL.
