WHAT IS BATTLETECH? AND WHAT ARE MECHS? |

Battletech is an amazing game set in the 31st century. The original game involved special cards and miniture mechs were available. Now it has spawned into an extensive range of computer games, which is what I am interested in. (I have all the Battletech computer games!) The Battletech universe is one of many such creations from FASA, a company which specialises in roleplay games. I love the Battletech universe because of it's technology, fueds, and because I love the idea of walking war machines. |

Mechs are massive 60ft high walking war machines that run at immense speeds. Mechs are powered by fusion reactors (as far as I know), and are nearly always armed with high power weapons. The are many different mech chassis, with different variants on each chassis. The mechs are used by two different waring sides, the Inner Sphere and the Clans, each of which is broken up into many smaller segments which have been known to war with each other. The Battletech universe is one of constant fueding and mistrust. Mechs can be customised. There is a massive array of weapons to choose from, and mechs can be given jump jets to speed them up or even make them fly. Mechs are normally optimised for speed, weapons or armour. |
