HBS (the basic game) was so fun but left me wanting more (like how much you could deploy). I never got into the mods but instead found (and got obsessed with) MegaMek and their campaign feature MekHQ. Lacks a video game GUI but allows basically all the features from the actual TT BT game.

It’s one reason I really like “Sid Meirer’s Colonization”.
I real liked HBS but (without playing the mods) did not like the limited scope. Now I play the MekHQ campaign part of the free MegaMek game.

Plus it has MekHQ to allow you to run your own Merc unit anyway you want in a fully open world/open ended kind of campaign. It’s my favorite game to play.

Sprite comp at 4x scale of various BattleMechs drawn for MekHQ. Originally only meant to cover Technical Readout 3025, it grew quite a bit.

This was the game that really got me back into the whole universe of Battletech, I loved it. Now, I am addicted to MegaMek. It really is not a computer game as much as a pure copy of the tabletop game you can play on your computer (complete with a campaign feature called MekHQ).

It includes “MekHQ” which lets you run a Mercenary unit in a completely open ended “campaign” set in any corner and any era you want. I am only mildly addicted. ;-)

After some testing and a bit of grumbling about compromises between MekHQ viability & lore fidelity, I'm leaning towards starting with militarized industrialmechs.

Sweet. One reason I really like MegaMek is for MekHQ which lets me do BT campaign on my own. Hope Hinterlands delivers an nice expansion for you.

The user interface is not the smoothest, but there is nothing else out there (to the best of my knowledge) that better replicates the actual tabletop game of Battletech. Plus the MekHQ campaign feature is amazing! Hope you like it.

I'm not sure if anyone told them about my crazy plans, but this is quite a "hold my beer" from the MegaMek developers.

Folks in the hotel room next to me are fucking too hard for me to sleep ('grats I guess), so my 3025 MekHQ campaign is going well.
With a special note to my little artillery carrying vee. You'll do more damage to the enemy than me one day.

couldn't be me scurrying home from a pickup game at the LGS to feed all the data into MekHQ like a little freak who loves doing their taxes.

Back from the big trip and setting things up for this week!
We'll start easy with some New Threat 2.0 today, then try out MekHQ on Thursday for a test run, along with a Power Bomberman session and some Link's Awakening

Kriegsfront Tactics seems promising, but the dialogue in the Prologue demo was rough.
To get my fix for that kind of action, I'm just using MekHQ from MegaMek to simulate a Battletech company. It's way too fiddly by half, but at least I can incorporate the results of tabletop games into it.

Still haven’t quite figured out mekhq and I’m mostly using megamek to help me master the rules of CBT.

Yup. It also contains the MekLab which both allows you to print any record sheet you might want and build custom Mechs (with printable record sheets) and MekHQ which allows you play a pure open world Mercenary campaign.

I had MekHQ for a while, but it's so confusing to use, I wish it was more user friendly.
Did have a fun match where I sent my phoenix hawk through a building and got stopped to death, while my hatchetman and black knight were dive bombing people from other roof tops.

Ah, OK, I see where you're going.
The travel time claim is probably too strong though. I guess you got the time from MekHQ, using a dog-leg route through inhabited systems? MIIO would probably note that a direct jump path can do that distance in 6 months but say it's very unlikely.

To clarify mekhq is great if thats your thing, just not my thing.

Usually I wait a few more posts before I push my crack of choice, I mean, preferred method of playing BT. Glad you got there first. I love MegaMek (and the included campaign option, MekHQ). If you ever get into player v player fights, I actually run MegaMek events and also enjoy having new players.

I love that hardened armor allows you to survive an AC/20 to the head. I start my MekHQ play in 3025 (and am on a new start recently) so I have a long way to go before I can start using that tech, but I do look forward to it.
