I've been trying for a while to play actual Battletech, instead playing old Mechwarrior games or using Megamek in the meantime. I found a person a month ago with a big collection of mechs(about 50) but he told me that it was his last game as he was moving. Such a waste. Its painful not being able to learn and play with anyone.
I live in Springfield, Missouri, a half mile from a game shop that doesn't deal with Battletech. At some point I may just buy a bunch of books so at least I can wait for the upcoming Battletech PC game.
I only know of possible methods to play if in person is online, but finding actual people is difficult. I dont have connections so I open posts like this on tabletop game forums to advertise what I am looking for.
Battletech is probably the closest thing to "my game" I will have as I like tactical games, customizing units, buying/selling/trading equipment and units and so on.
