Battletech

These are the kind of people I hang out with:

You haven't played Battletech? You are missing an important Geek Badge. We can play from 2 - 20 players, but its best with 2 - 4 though. And we can also play a couple different ways: against each other or a cooperative campaign. Like other games, units go by points make sure each side is balanced. In Battletech, the points are regulated by tonnage. So playing against each other we would choose a tonnage such as 100. Then each player could play one huge 100 tonne mech or a number of smaller mechs adding up to 100 tonnes. Then we would start at different areas of the map and go at it. The less tonnage, the faster the game goes. Or we can play a senario where you guys fight against an enemy I control. I have a book with a whole campaign for players to take over a small planet starting with a dropship invasion. Its pretty cool. We could pick any senario in the book.
I'm the one who hasn't played Battletech.  I repent.
