An all-new bundle of RPG material for Battletech and Mechwarrior, the most popular giant mecha wargame and RPG, featuring a new rules system for the RPG
( Battletech Total War )
My first impressions here are pretty good - Battletech has gone through a lot of iterations and it looks like they have settled down as a playable and well-presented system. This release of Mechwarrior is all-new; I can't actually remember much about the last version I saw, except that I thought it was excessively complicated, this again looks like a playable and well-designed system with reasonably straightforward rules - it scores for me by only needing a couple of six-sided dice, rather than the profusion of odd polyhedra some games require. Artwork is pretty good, and does not fall into sexual stereotyping. If you're looking for this sort of game I think this bundle is a pretty good choice.
