similiar in flavor to Traveller. FASA has *loads* of very professional and
well written rules, text, history, fiction and graphics for BATTLETECH, which
is pretty amazing to me since BATTLETECH has only been out a couple of years.
(I believe). That's quite a contrast to Traveller & GDW. In this respect, I
consider BATTLETECH to be the way Traveller 'should have been'.
Other comments:
BATTLETECH's rules seem to be complete enough, yet very simple. It leaves me
with a feeling that I'm missing something, or the rules are missing something.
Yet the only thing that I can think of is that BATTLETECH has very little to
account for differing Tech Levels.
BATTLETECH is even more militaristic then Traveller was... Necessarily so? I
don't think so. I think that it is still quite possible to play a non military
campaign with BATTLETECH.
