Hey all,

Haven't posted much at all on Dakka here, but I've spent the last year or so developing rules for a 1/60 scale (approximately 25 or 28mm) Battletech game.

Battletech is a larger-than-life universe, and I feel that, while the Classic Battletech board game will always hold a special place in our hearts, a more modern wargame in a larger scale can give the franchise new life. I'm trying to bring the awe-inspiring clash of multi-ton war machines to gaming tables everywhere in a combination hobby wargame similar to contemporary games like Warmachine and Warhammer 40,000- but with Battletech, we will be able to claim the throne of biggest and baddest out there. With this in mind, and with the community's help to playtest these rules, I think we can convince Catalyst Game Labs and the Devs here on MWO that we mean business, and can make a viable game to complement, rather than replace, Classic Battletech.

My rules are below, please help me play-test them, and send me feedback with your thoughts: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B63vbYUfOh6PaU16YTc0aDVCSjA/edit
