Gee, take away all the ref's fun.  Oh, the dragon should be more like 60
foot to keep the player's on their toes ;-)  I do agree that this sort of

You must mean MechWarrior not BattleTech.  BattleTech doesn't have much
roleplaying in it -- just lots of shooting and heat.  One of the best
beer and pizza games I know (after 'Macho Women With Guns' of course :-)
