I understood every word of that. We can be friends.

Accepted!

Funny, how easy it can be to retain those totally unimportant facts, isn't it? I credit my English to a huge extend to stuff like that, after almost all those books came in English.

wasn't there a quote in the soft cover Mechwarrior RPG saying something along the lines of "whatever happened to the Universe while Einstein wasn't looking?"

I'd have to take a look at my library to verify! I love the Kearny-Fuchida backstory so, they were basically ridiculed crack heads, until decades after their death people jumped to New Earth (?) on the THS Pathfinder (?).

I don't see that quote on the cover of either 1st or 2nd edition of MechWarrior unfortunately. It does sound like something that would have been on some BT book however.

sorry I did not mean "on" the cover. I meant in "the soft cover Mechwarrior RPG" book, in some one of the pages inside. :)

I might remember more made up history of settings like BattleTech and Star Wars than I do actual real world history. I think I retain facts better the closer in proximity they are to lasers.

ah, another Battletech aficionado on the site

I just hope there are plenty more!

Given the funding of the BattleTech: Mercenaries kickstarter, I think that's a fairly safe assumption. (It's also really impressive consider the age of the game... I wonder if my Ral Partha miniatures are still around somewhere).

Mine are, they get expensive on eBay so... The last Battletech game is propably one of thebgakes I played the most, according to Steam statistics!
