It was a good post too, like I said if someone has stuff to add or I missed stuff by all means do so!
The more posts we have helping the new guys means the bigger the community which shows the gaming world Mechwarriors don't die off. :)
to quote an old phrase about Battletech:
"Other robot games are fads. They will pass. Battletech has the support of large, suspender-wearing men with Jerry Garcia beards. Our cause is just. We will last forever." - 3rdCrucisLancers


Haha! Oh man, that quote takes me back, Oh the old days of the CBT forums.

Thanks for the info! Honestly I'd been leaning towards FedSuns, but learning that they're the go-to guys for autocannons is what really sealed the deal. What can I say, a gun nut is me.

Also, what year was the Battle of Tukayyid? Just wondering how long we'll have to wait for that particular epic event once launch rolls around.

What about a "mwomercs" wiki for this thread? So it's more permanent and it could be edited by the community?

I have to say again, I think this is really cool.

*Shrugs* putting it in the wiki sounds good and I'll try to do so when I get home. If someone beats me to it that's fine as well

Nice post, as a noob who played the clicky tabletop game (where I think they eschewed the lore, I'm guessing) and I think 2 or 3 of the old computer games... this was a nice refresher. Keep up the good work :D
