[QUOTE="Neo, post: 488088, member: 4139"] Well, figured I'd dump my two cents here as myself and my group are some of the people who have been playtesting this game, pretty much since day one. First let me say I love mech games, not all of my group does, but I do Battletech/mechwar is a game that I will hold fondly in my memories for a long long time, and others such as Heavy Gear, Mekton, Mekton 2 and so forth being the more manga'esque type mech game are also fondly recalled by myself. Mechwar is a game, which has some new approaches to the genre, which provide a grim and gritty feel to the game that I like, It's background being based on alterations of realistic events goes a long way to providing a relevant setting that everyone will be able to empathise and associate with. The mech combat is pretty balanced, and has some interesting mechanics that I am certain mamny will find good some even, which Battletech in all its detail never even managed to include entirely. Mech design is simple and modular but with a huge scope for variation and flavour to suit even the most specific of mech design requests, while maintaining a feasible no "Far Sci-Fi" approach to what is available. For those of you who mentioned a desire to use this in a Dragonstar game, well with a few tweaks here and there it could easily be done. I for one was pleasantly surprised by this games depth, and very happy with the work that has been put into it throughout the playtest to develop it into something that will no doubt become the standard by which all other D20 mecha games are compared to.
