During the last three days I played my first few proper games of Battletech - and i can say that didnt had do much fun playing tabletop games for at least several years! Maybe this is just effect of new game system - to be honest all GW systems is pretty close together - but it was fun, i needed to make important decisions every turn for almost all of my models, etc.

First game was big classic Battletech battle - me and other new player both taking a lances of inner sphere mechs aganist our opponents clan star. Highlights of the battle - first critical hit of the game was my Wolverine blowing up after enemy Warhawk blow up his SRM ammo, enemy Nova which was able to hold up for the five round of shooting of three mechs of my ally, score the mission and only then blow up and finally my Atlas that survive three round of shooting by Executioner, Timberwolf and Warhawk, lose almost all of his armor and than after the first structure hit get his gyro destroyed and fall on his face.

And today I played two games of alpha strike - our local group prefer to play it on the grid map too. And this game variant was as much fun as Classic if not more - at first I was afraid that game was too much simplified, but I was sooo wrong - at this level, with so many mechs it was whole different set of decisions you need to make that this much lighter version of tracking weapons and damage didnt matter.

So, as conclusion - if you thinkig about playing Battletech - its totally worth you time and im so glad that I decided to try it
