So, Battletech doesn't feel right unless I fill out a paper record-sheet that I got from a copier-place and I paid 30 copies for a dollar for.
I don't know your location, but in some places in the United States, you can get a tablet for $40 bucks or free if you have EBT and can get an Obama-phone.
I got my tablet as a sort of birthday present from my mom, who's friend she met online, passed away in Vegas and that tablet was meant for her. I just use it to read .PDF's on the bus and in bed.
Any non-Apple tablet will do. I don't recommend Apple for gaming. Too many issues.
