That tried to use realistic weapon ranges, with the result that (at least for me) the game was about cover to the exclusion of pretty much all else.<br /><br />BattleTech quite explicitly has implausibly short weapon ranges in order to make the game about matching engagement envelopes with your opponents and finding the sweet spot. The 'Mech that's a good city fighter (short-range weapons, jump jets) will often do badly in more open terrain (longer-range weapons), which isn't something you often see with real-world tanks.<br /><br />As far as terrain goes, when I've played with it at all I've tended to make the vertical figure-scale even if the horizontal isn't - that way one can still use it for sightlines.RogerBWnoreply@blogger.com
