Some other selected reactions:
(if I didn't quote prior posts, it's not because I'm ignoring them, the below one just had a bunch I can react to right now)
- The Game intro doesn't say anything about the actual game - the text could refer to MechCommander or MechWarrior computer games just as well. A little bit more would go a long way.
I may be misunderstanding you, but what about the second paragraph on that page?
"The BattleTech board game simulates combat between various military vehicles in the thirty-first century. The kings of the battlefield are the 30-foot-tall humanoid titans known as BattleMechs. However, a myriad of other military units bring additional fun to any game, from combat vehicles to infantry to aerospace units and more."
- Downloads should contain ALL downloads currently available anywhere on the site (including errata etc.) the current setup is somewhat confusing
We're still optimizing the setup some, but I do not concur that the best way to handle errata is to duplicate them on the Errata page. One problem of the old Downloads page was that it *did* duplicate just about everything we served, including preview material. That made it effectively unusable. The specific intent is to offer tools and material on the Downloads page that has no real good 'home' elsewhere (IE< Chaos Campaign) or that's tool that helps play (IE, the BForce counters). There's been discussion about yanking the QSR stuff, as it's served elsewhere.
Bringing that up to start discussion on that notion, not to silence it. ;)
Oh, and there's still a ton of stuff scheduled for inclusion, but we're also using the opportunity to 'refresh' some old PDFs so they have current BT and CGL logos on them.
- Links: The link to the German version of the page directly links into a somewhat naked forum, while all others link to nice portals - is that deliberate?
There's a plot to spruce up the various language sites some. As soon as there's time.
(If you run a language site, feel free to be pro-active, and feel free to reach out to me. I'll get around to send something round to you, but it may be a while)
Is the Mechforce Germany a Vendor? You list them as fan club.
None of the links after IWM actually links to Vendors.
Yeah, we need a better 'category' for that. WIP.
The Virtual World link you have has nothing to do with the Battletech Pods: The places running pods currently that have Websites (mentioning Battletech) are these:
http://www.mechjock.com/
DOH! Fixed.
What about other fan-sites?[/li][/list]
List some with links, we might add em. Right now all that's just the still living remnants of really ancient links, we're well behind any efforts to keep the Links section relevant and up to date with useful/cool sites, so let's grab this opportunity to fix that.
