For those of you who have played Battletech or read one of the Mechwarrior novels, this is a turn-based game currently being touched up and finished. We are doing a test run (I am GundamMerc and will be in command of the 5th Crucis Lancers RCT) and if anyone wants to check it out or even take command of a unit, please do.

Is this the game Daishi is based off?

I'm not sure, I've never heard of Daishi. Could you give me a link?

Oh. Yes, it is, by the way. Don't let that bias you though. It's not Battletech's fault that some fanboys wanted to make a religion based on it. v_v

Besides, there's actually a good number of battlemaster players there.

It is also the game system that the Mech Warrior games were based off. Whether or not you like the game system, it is a pretty well written Sci Fi universe.

Yes, and we're getting into the final stages of this game. I encourage you to check it out De-Legro, I think you'd like it.

My wife would argue I don't need yet another thing to do that involves the computer, and remind me that the lawn needs mowing. Much as I would like to check it out I think I better get some chores done.

The game is actually email-based (except for this test run, the guy who's making it will be moving our units based on the decisions of the unit commanders, for the sake of testing out the system). The turns are about 2-3 weeks long, I think, so it doesn't take much time out of your schedule at all.

I sent GundamMerc a PM, I'll talk with you about it over there. I don't know what else to do.

If you want to sign up for the main game, go to the game sign up page and look over the positions that are available. The test-run thread is in the Succession Wars thread.

One... NECROMANCY!!! *ahem* Had to get that out of the way.


Two, this is about a different Battletech game, one that is an email based game. It is the work of just a few people like Battlemaster is. In actual fact, the person doing most if not all the work is someone from the diplomatic department of the United States government. I think he's in Ukraine right now, or in that general area.

So while I appreciate your enthusiasm for Battletech, this thread is not for Mechwarrior Online... so I would appreciate keeping that in mind.
