Would be great to see these old table top's brought to the PC. but battle troop's would end up being another first person shooter. but Airrotech would be fun and i think battlespace would be also with the fighter's and boarding party's thrown in.

BattleSpace was the replacement AeroTech.
Which in turn got replaced by AeroTech 2.
And BattleTroops focused on infantry/battlearmour, pretty much between MechWarrior RPG and BattleTech in scale.
Anyhow, BattleSpace/AeroTech is mostly obsolete since Total Warfare, Tactical Operations, and Strategic Operations contain all the rules needed for space/atmospheric battles, all the way up to 2.400.000 tons of WarShip.

Don't think there's any equivalent to BattleTroops using the current rules, though.

Or an isometric tactical turn-based game like Fallout, Jagged Alliance, X-Com, etc.

Kage, Raiden, Kanazuchi, Void, DEST, Inazuma, Kirishima, Kyushu, Samarkand, and Tatsumaki, mostly.

Apologies. With the spelling of the first post, I assumed that the OP was requesting the return of games outside of the BT universe, and thus had incorrectly filed his request within the Kurita forum. Enjoy the rest of your day.

Well, those games technically *are* in the BT universe.
And ClanTroops (supplement for BattleTroops) also contains at least one scenario that takes places in the Combine, as well as a chapter labeled "BattleTech Integration".

Oh, and I forgot to list any of our ASF, in case you didn't notice.

Also, according to Herb (Lord of All Nukes), the tactical combat rules from AToW are a sufficient replacement to BattleTroops. Or at least until they decide to make a new edition of BattleTroops after all.
