Cathalyst Game Lab started a new Battletech Kickstarter for their Clan Invasion Box. With a lot of Add Ons, because nearly all streched goals are funded (700000 $)….including the "Re-Seen" designs of the Marauder, Warhammer, Archer…a.s.o. link |

the Worst Story arc expansion to a universe ever. |

Really? Why do you say that? Objectively, it reinvigorated the Battletech brand and gave it at least 10 years and several computer game expansions. You may not have liked it, but I would think the worst story arc expansion would kill a franchise- not make it bigger than ever. |

The negative waves run strong around here alas. The novels were great reading! For my own gaming, I just stick with 3025-ish Succession Wars. But that's to keep building up a focused force of miniatures for the game table. WIth Alpha Strike now, I love the ability to play battles with company and larger formations. And I prefer running proper military style mono, nor near-monotype lances and companies when possible. It is so pleasing to see a company of Valkyries take to the field! I'm in on this campaign just for the IS 3025 add-ons. The unlocked Cavalry/Striker Lance is sweeeeet. 3-4 of those will shake out into a nice assortment of lances of each type Why yes, Draconis can always use more Panther Lances. : 3 |

I think that with the coming of the clans the Houses were basically crushed due to the Clans having far better Mechs. |

While the intitial set of (Michael Stackpole?) books were good, they destroyed the game for many players.. |

What made it horrible was the abandonment of the the lost tech idea. Also turning the lost star league army, who left the Inner sphere to escape the petty infight into silly techno Barbarians was lame. |

Didn't help that Clan tech was vastly better than what the Sphere had. When CityTech released, you could reliably take down a Sphere Mech with a Clan Mech about 2/3rd the tonnage. |
