TH one you link to are still on the website, but just aren't in the smei-released version on Wargame Vault.

Just type battletech intersellar operations into google and it comes up. Don't think there's a downloadable version, which is why I printed them off.
Was thinking of getting the beta. Any good?

It's a meta-game for conducting war across the galaxy in the BT fluff... An anal retentive's wet dream!

Completionist... Was thinking of getting the time of war to round it off even though I can't imagine rpging it. I think you can use it for pilot creation

I believe so. There's also references in Interstellar Force Creation/Operations about RPGing contracts to a degree, and how it effects reputation.

Depends on what you're using your paper replacement for...
Ever tried wiping your arse with an ipad?

Good game dude. I'm still learning loads every time I play. I'll let you know what my next mission is. Also, been looking at the merc handbook way of creating a force. I actually think I prefer it, but nevermind, already done it the other way now. I may put my existing character through some events though, partially to fluff him out a bit more, but also to gain things like strategy and negotiation, which has an effect on contracts.

So a parcel isn't arriving.... My order has been withdrawn by abe oils as the seller "mistakenly listed the item" and so there's not one. Well there's a £70 one on eBay but balls to that. Balls I say. Big. Hairy. Balls
