The civil war between Victor and Katrina ended with Victor winning back the throne and banishing Katrina to clan space. Chirst! Whatever happened to payback and public hangings?

Burn the apocrypha, I say! The only good Battletech was by FASA! This horrid cheaply produced Whizkids game has destroyed the game! Mage Knight Bonfires all 'round, I say!
Seriously, I was greatly turned off by the new look and feel of Battletech after the Dark Age time line. I still run games set in the 3050 timeline, or thereabouts. I grew up with the 3025-3050 era 'mechs, and it is by far my favorite.

You decide for yourself how ridiculous that sounds.

Wycen Adamantite said:To put it bluntly, Battletech is now whacked. And not in a good way.
There are 2 universes. The old classic universe, which the latest novel called 'Endgame' details. I'd read it if you really want to know the latest in the old, good universe.
Then you have Mechwarrior Dark Age, or whatever. I didn't do this research myself due to have to slog through tons of crap, but my buddy who's a Mechwarrior 4 computer game fanatic filled me in on the details. It goes something like this: after years of fighting, the Houses are a peace and throw their mechs away. During this time the Clans do not invade and stay in their own area of the Inner Sphere. Suddenly, somebody wants to fight, but since they have no Battle Mechs, they have to use logger and agriculture mechs, with chain saws and welding torches.
