Hello Warrior, Admins, Officers and Techs!

I am going to run a BT campaign using MekHQ for the first time ever. Are there reasons to pick a dev snapshot version over the latest stable release? I am thinking about fixed issues or added features over bugs introduced.

Also, what are ‘the things you wish you knew earlier’ regarding my endeavor? :)

Much appreciated!

Use the latest Dev release. It’s feature locked and being worked up to be the next stable.

Cheers!
I'll use that then.
If you download MekHQ, there is no reason to download MegaMek seperately is there (as it seems to be included in the package)?

Ok great!

A big thank you for developing the software! Without you guys I would have never been able to play as much BT as I do, as there is no BT community where I come from.  :thumbsup:
