Yeah, ’cause I’m sure the licensing on that would be no problem…

Dude, we could make Mechwarrior run in GSL.

It looks pretty snazzy. I’m assuming it plays kinda like the Warhammer games, but then again that doesn’t really mean anything to me, considering I’ve never played Warhammer. Those types of games hold some sort of draw for me, but I never got into them just because of the amount of money required. Being a young child at the time meant I didn’t have much in the way of income, so I never played. Maybe when I finally have a disposable income I could start playing, ’cause this looks like my kinda game.

I like mechs but my interest in combat games is at the tactical/skirmish level– an itch DnD 4e scratches while still letting me roleplay. I’m a tough sell; I want Mechwarrior as a GSL game!

Cool, can you move and fight?

It’s hard to generalize, since you can play to any scale you like and different factions have different loadouts, but I’d say roughly one dozen units per side (not all of which would be mechs) seems like a reasonable minimum. A more experienced player could perhaps chime in and give a more detailed answer.

I’ve always been a bit interested in Heavy Gear simply because Giant Robots, but I never really got into it what size forces are generally involved in these battles? Are we talking Mechwarrior Dark Age skirmishes, or Warhammer armies?
