Tailspin 21 said: Never heard of this. I would like to learn more. After the year 3000(Game time starts in 3025) Human society has spread across the galaxy and is split into feudal kingdoms. War is a constant part of all life. Wars and battles are still fought with men, tanks, and planes, but the primary weapon of war is the BattleMech. 30 feet tall, bristling with weapons, massively armored, they rule the Battlefield. Battletech is the Battlefield hex map game where mechs fight it out, it's a strategy combat game. Mechwarrior is the RPG half of the game world where you play as a Mech pilot(Mechwarrior) or some other member of society living in the shadow of constant war. It's kind of like Shadowrun without the magic, lots of mission type play and shady characters trying to get ahead by any means. .
