Nothing wrong with a little OCD. Most people who wargame are a little that way. Keep us posted with pics of your mechs!

The new models should be much higher quality and so should't be warped - sorry to hear that dude. I beleive they're good ol' plastic so not sure how they're reactic to boiling the jebus out of them. This is why we need to get Phil involved in CBT. He loves all of this modeling guff. Hair dryer...

Almost painted the five clan mechs, which is good seeing as another load of clan should be hitting the door mat in the next couple of days

You gonna bring them for show and tell tomorrow? If not, it would be good to see them on the blog when you're done. I'm thinking of getting my Comguards painted next to oppose your clanners

Let me know when you want a follow up game dude. I'm well up for using those huge hexes and maybe having 2 people per side for a bigger game.

1:285 is Yank, 1:300 is British. 6mm is roughly what they are. However, the 1:285 stuff is quite a bit larger (and more detailed) than some of the old 1:300 stuff, but you'll end up paying more for it too!

What size is a battletech board? Is it a physical space or xhex x yhex? The boards that come in the box are a set size - but that's only so they fit in the box. Otherwise, there's no fixed size, as long as hexes are 1.5 inches - though even that wouldn't be the end of the world if they were 2 inches or whatever. Some rules refer to something being x boards away, but that is rare and easily translatable
