Hrmm, wasn't the Star League prior to the succession wars? If so, i never played in that time period of BTech. I always played right after the Succession Wars and through the Clan Invasion. We played a character tree system, where each Player had their own squad of 4 pilots, and we used the mechwarrior system for character xp and growth, but the btech system for mech engagements and mech maintenance. If a pilot died, they died. You could roll for a replacement for your squad, but if you got one he was a FNG and you had to bring him up under fire. My vet eventually captured a MADCAT and i got it refit and used it. The game kinda died out though, as some of player went to grad school or were deployed elsewhere. I miss it. I almost got into the clicky Mech game but it was a different time frame and i just never jumped on board.

Yeah, the first DA MechClix i saw was some kind of Forestry Mech, with a chainsaw arm and i was like "WTF?" that kinda sealed it for me there.
When i lived in DC i used to play at this hobbyshop that had a massive conflict table, and they would roll out pro painted/flocked terrain and what not. You would enroll in a game a month in advance, and you had to buy X amount of mechs from the store to enroll (usually 2 mechs per game, some times 4) you had to have those mechs assembled and painted by game time. Then they would assemble you into teams, or have it be free for all. The beauty of it though, is that you were playing for pinks. Every mech you killed, you kept. at the end of the match, last man standing usually won their choice of 1 mech from the store as a prize. It was really fun, and they moved alot RalPartha mechs and paint, flocking, etc. |

Well, the Forestry Mech is somewhat plausible, though. Civilian vehicles being retrofitted for combat out of sheer necessity. As much as I can't deny the badassness of a 'Mech with a friggin' chainsaw, it is pretty ridiculous.

eh, it was atrocious imo. but i guess because i was approaching it from the mechs deployed from the succession wars up to the clan invasion. comparing it to those mechs, the forestry mech sucks pretty bad.
