The main drawback to them is they only seem to come in Lance/Star packs and availability seems kind of spotty, but I’m patient and can wait for reprints. So with that, I have some thoughts about where I want to take my re-entry into this world and maybe some questions about what it looks like right now.įirst up is miniatures, I had dabbled in Mechwarrior: Dark Age when it was out and I recall that at that point Battletech was renamed as Classic Battletech to differentiate it, with Ironwind Metals taking over miniature production from Ral Partha, which it looks like they’re still doing, in metal.Ĭonfusing things a bit is that Catalyst seems to be doing their own line of minis in plastic and the scale, while close, doesn’t seem to be completely consistent between them and the style definitely is not.įor ‘Mechs, I’m planning on sticking with the plastics, I like the style of the redesigns and while I loved the Ral Partha minis back in the day, many of those sculpts have not aged well, the internal scaling of the Catalyst line seems more consistent, too. Do they have a name for that, btw? ISTR back in the day there was Levels 1, 2 and 3 with Level 1 being the basic 3025-era stuff, Level 2 being the more advanced Inner Sphere and Clan stuff and Level 3 being more an anything goes that included more 'experimental' kind of items.
That's just as well because while I may change my mind at some point, right now I'm basically only interested in the 3025-era. Oddly I still have my 3025//58 record sheet books but not the 3050. I still have a handful of minis but none of the better metal figures, mostly the cheaper plastics that came in various boxed sets and a few of the books. I'm figuring this can be more general talk about anything and everything to do with these games.įor my part I played a lot of Battletech back in the day, starting with the 3rd Edition boxed set which came out in 1992, and probably through the early aughts, gradually dropping off, selling off a lot of my minis and books over the years. As mentioned in the 3025 TRO WIR thread I had thought about trying to start up a new thread for more general discussion about the game(s) rather than cluttering that one up with too much off-topic stuff, so here we are.
