Calculating BATTLE VALUE
« on: 05 August 2021, 18:21:29 »
Greetings fellow Mech-Warriors.   

I appreciate being added to the forums and being able to converse with other players.   I started playing Battletech back in 1989, long before the threat of the Clans was a reality. 

I just got my hands on a starter set (yeah!!!)   I was looking over the rules and I was wondering if there was a way to calculate a mech's BV for a custom build?

I have a build from 'back in the day' of a highly-modified Highlander... dubbed the 'Kurgan'. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The rules for calculating a new unit's Battle Value are in TechManual.
You can also use various programs to construct new units that also calculate the Battle Value at the same time.  MegaMekLab, SolarisSkunkWerks, Mordel.net and others.
