Hi there, I'm a newcomer to TT Battletech and have just invested in the new Armoured comabt box set, at the minute I have to admit to being a tad overwhelmed with all the lore out there!!

I was reading through teh 3 scenarios in the book and reading up on constructing mechs etc, I muddle through it all, hoever a question I have is for when I start crreating  force for battle how do I know what points value each unit is worth?

In Adeptus Titanicus each Titan has a Battle Value and or points value, sme with games like team yankee etc. But I can't see anything like that on any of teh record sheets or in the constructing a mech section.

Regards
T9

Actually calculating Battle Value yourself is a long and involved process; those rules can be found in TechManual.  That's why the Master Unit List was made, which tells you where the stats for almost every unit can be found, and provides Battle Values for all of them.

http://www.masterunitlist.info/

Just go to that page, type in the unit you're looking for.  You can type in the full model name, or just the base name of the unit ("Griffin") and then pick the precise variant you want from a list.

Welcome aboard!

Thanks for the link, helps loads. Next question, what is the difference between BV and PV? Looking at the PV it seems that matches the Alpha Strike system so I presum BV is for Standard BT?

Yes, Battle Value is regular Battletech only, while PV is Alpha Strike only.  Since the rulesets play quite differently, one point system can't cover both of them.
