20 Years of BattleTech
That's right! BattleTech has been with us for 20
years, now! And many of you, I know, have been with it
from the beginning. (I've only been playing about 15
years, myself.)
It is amazing, when you think about it, that our
game has remained basically unchanged for longer than
any other combat war game I can think of.
