Hi, all!
I am a long time Battletech fan (played the Tesla pods once as a kid, played MW3 when it was new, read the books for several years, played MC2 a bunch, and played HBS Battletech), but I am just trying out the tabletop version.
Played it with a friend last night using Flechs Sheets, which were really helpful. We're thinking we'll give Mega Mek a try, too. Our question is, were the old BT rules this complex? My friend played it a long time ago, and he didn't remember it being this number-crunchy. He didn't seem certain, though, so his memory may have dropped that part. Is old Battletech simpler than the current ruleset? And do you all have recommendations for speeding up/simplifying the game?
