I have never actually played a game of tabletop battletech. I’ve been a fan of the Mechwarrior sim games since I was a kid (Mechwarrior 2: 31st Century Combat blew my 9 year old brain) and I rather like the novels, they’re a guilty pleasure of mine.
Big jump from a mercenary company to the battle of Tukayyid. Comstar brought 50 regiments to that fight and butt wrecked five whole clans. That’s a biggie.
We’re easing into it haha, just having narrative flair and matching Battle Value is good enough for us. But I’m stoked to possibly play some Tukayyid stuff eventually, even if we dance around some things for convenience.
I’ll tell you the most important thing to keep in mind when playing Battletech: Have a good time. Sometimes ya just gotta open up an alpha strike at point blank range, overheat and stackpole. When you do, make it as hilarious as you can.

That’s the goal. I used to play Orks in 40k, so like I said, I’m here for a GOOD TOIME ;)
