I loved Battletech as a board game and all the mechwarrior sims they made over the years, and I have the whole book series except for about 5 or 6 books. They were psuedo sci fi stories that made no damn sense when explained like it was science, (lasers with a maximum range of 500 meters, interplanetary travel around the whole system at 2 gees that took only a week, long range missles that could go no farther than a kilometer, giant mechs that used a human's shitty sense of balance to stay upright etc) but dammit I enjoyed them anyway. Mad Anyone else read any of these? Confused Why in the hell did FASA sell the property to Wizkids and allow them to mangle it? Doesn't anyone else want to know how the second half of the Clan Invasion went? Wizkids jumped like 100 years ahead in the timeline and made a half assed attempt to explain what happened, I demand satisfaction! Mad
And before you point it out I know its an american rip off of Robotech, I dont care because Robotech is lame.

Accually it is a rip off of Macross.

Robotech was an americanized version of three anime series rolled into one:

The Super Dimension Fortress Macross
Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross
&
Genesis Climber Mospeada

I loved playing Battletech. It's a great strategy boardgame. If you try to think to hard about the science, you will break sometime, though.

I've never read any of them. I played a few mechwarrior games and really loved the mechassault games though.

There's a heroclix styled batletech game, I want to try it.
