History of BattleTech
Hey all!
Rather than continue to argue about how the official "eras" and rules levels are unhelpful and confusing (thankfully their new pages are a huge improvement over the old ones), 6-8 weeks ago I decided that lapsed/returning players would benefit from a more intuitive illustration of how things have progressed.It shows how major products match up against each other, against the BattleTech timeline, and against real world events (video games, change of ownership, etc) -- designed so that someone who's been out of the loop can see where what they own stands in relation to the newest stuff. I don't list the exact equipment changes between each group, but even so, I think it'll be helpful for brand new players as well.
My next post will be either the next entry in TLLPoBT (ProtoMechs) or, if I get a new blog set up before Christmas, my amateur approach to TRO editing.
Until then, Happy Holidays!

Would be nice if you offered it on dA as a print, poster-sized.
I don't know how that would stand, legally, and I'd have to redo all the text and covers. It would be pretty nifty, though; I'll think on it. Thanks for the suggestion!
Great work. I'm going to share this link around my Battletech group.
