Quite honestly I think I would rather read a story without the Wolverines in it. There's some decent tension to be had if it's the much less tech-savvy but massively industrialized Earth against the more advanced but less industrialized Inner Sphere, but give Earth 'mechs, ASF, Clan Tech, etc...

You've heard of the Inner Sphere? They're the Outer Sphere, completing englobing the inner.

It's worth noting in conjunction with this that people with Star League medicine can easily live to 150 and often don't even start having kids before they're 80 years old. The clans don't have those lifespans anymore due to their bizarre cult of youth and not providing good medicine to anybody...

There are, officially a 3025 C-Bill is worth just under 12 US Dollars and in 3040 a C-Bill is worth 9.72. By 3062 a C-Bill is officially worth 4.78. However, those are FASAnomics numbers and suggest that every rando civilian on planet Sheepdip is paying a hundred bucks for each pair of socks...

The game has the disadvantage of legendarily bad FASAnomics that makes it very hard to figure out anything regarding prices because many aspects of economics and pricing seem to run on pixie dust. It further has the same problems most games have of pegging items that players don't use all the...

I'd think it would work pretty well. The old joke about hunting your supper with a bow and arrow before riding a horse to the spaceport in order to catch a DropShip off-planet has a certain amount of truth in BT. There's some pretty gaping holes in their consumer goods market, and there is...

How the utter heck do you read "Fiction should never be construed as rules" and pull "therefore rules override fiction" out of that? And what's your answer to "If we use the rules a large laser can't hit a target beyond 450 meters, just as it can't in the books?" It's nonsensical but also...

Hmmm.... know what I'm not seeing in that quote? Hard rules. Also I'm not seeing anything saying what their ranges are or even that they're longer than. They say "Real World" ranges are longer than BT ranges and admit it's illogical, but fail to say that actual BT ranges would match that...

Phelan stared at the computer projection of the range and damage done to the Panther. Seven hundred meters for a large laser! impossible! They can only hit at 450 max. He hit a button that opened a tight channel between him and Hound Leader. -Lethal Heritage, chapter 8 She brought her ’Mech to...

You can but, due to FASAnomics, doing so requires an insane amount of fuel. Outside of the primitives that existed before sails, few JumpShips actually have enough fuel to do so, so you have to devote a collar to having an Aqueduct or similar as a fuel tanker. 'Course you're also going to need...

In theory, but only the Word of Blake was ever able to pull it off, and then only a couple of times. My personal headcanon is that because this would require several months of running said DropShips, requiring vast amounts of food and fuel in the process, which has to be done far enough...

Are we using canonical BT ranges here? 'Cause the Clancyverse is going to have a hearty laugh at 700 yards being a "long-range" attack before pelting any offending BattleMechs with Tomahawk missiles from below the horizon. On a combat front Endwar is basically going to be Ewoks against AT-ST...
