I also didn't make any efforts to optimize weapons loads (swapping two LRM5's for an LRM10, for instance, although I did do this in a few occasions to differentiate variants of a mech, most notably the Puma A & C), to keep them consistent with similar FASA designs. I tried to match the armor and weapons load as exactly as I could, the speed relatively (so a clan 'mech faster than clan 'mechs of its weight class would translate to an 3025 IS 'mech faster than other 3025 IS 'mechs of its weight class) and let the heat sinks fall where they lie. To correct this, I went through a whole bunch of clan 'mechs and "dumbed them down" to 3025 IS technology. This has left my clan 'mech mineratures largely unused. These days when I do have time to play Battletech or MegaMek, we seem to stick to the original 3025 tech. I honestly don't know if anyone else will find this interesting/useful, but the work was done and I figured I'd share just in case. The game also works well for the early Clan invasions, when the disparity of technology level between the Inner Sphere and the Clans was great.īATTLEMASS 5.0 (ITA) - By Gioacchino Prestigiacomo The game is designed to simulate Mech Combat primarily in the Fourth Succession War era, but can easily be used to simulate combat in the earlier Succession Wars and the raids in-between, as well as the period just after, such as the Ronin Wars and the ’39 Davion/Kurita conflict.
The Mechs are abstracted in such a way that the relative strengths and weaknesses of various Mech designs in regular Battletech are accurately shown, but allows large-scale combats to be fought in a relatively short time. The game focuses more on the handling of Lances and Companies, and less on individual Mechs. The game simulates Battletech conflict on a company level, in which players represent company commanders (usually Captains) and control the actions of a Company of Mechs (usually twelve Mechs). Battleclix is a game of combat in the Battletech universe, using 285th scale miniatures mounted onto Heroclix/MageKnight bases and using a hex map.
