Hi folks!  Hope you all had a spectacular Christmas break!  Happy New Year
to all of you.

Well then...on to the quiz.  I spent forever (well, three nights) compiling
these questions, and I rented a dozen or so movies (had the flu over the
break).  Actually, thinking up the questions wasn't all that hard, and anyone
who is a regular listener to CBC FM's 'Brave New Waves' shouldn't have any
difficulty with them.  I don't expect there are too many of those people,
however, as not everyone can stay up 'til 2:00am every night.  Anyway, questions
two through five are courtesy of the CBC =)

Good luck, people.

	Ditto. But I do run a game of Cyber*Tech :), where the PCs
	are created with CPunk and play in BTech universe while
	ESP rules from Mekton & Night's Edge.

	:) I like it! Oh ... the campaign is based on this simple
	background :

	In 2760s, the Rim Worlds Republic secretly recruited anti-
	Star League forces and trained them. They also began a
	super-soldier experiment based on chemical "tweeking".

	The players are the rejects of these experiments. :)

	The RWR, to maintain secrecy, shuffels the "rejects" to
	a planet where they are thrown into a massive "psycho"
	ward.

	A Star League base on planet in nuked out of existance
	at the start of the Amaris Coup, due to the smaller
	military might of the local RWR troops.

	The players escape in the esuing chaos, as RWR troops
	are called to the front. The planet breaks down, as
	military police leaves as well, leaving behind no 
	law. 

	Fun place eh ? Think Road-Warrior, Cpunk and BTech.
	BTech combat using ShadowBoxing rules.

Ah, but I digress ...

If you're interested in roleplaying, get Mechwarrior 2nd Ed. (my second plug
of the day). It also contains a brief history,which should be sufficient.

If you really need a more detailed history that will take you from 3025 to the
time of the clans, it unfortunately can't be found in one volume.  But a 
combination of the 20 Year Update and the Wolf Clan Sourcebook will provide
it.

 The odd features like ECM and Probe chits didn't help. Everyone asked what
were these in the Battletech game. We all decided that Liao's Raven could
only have this feature or an Ostscout! I agree with the silly premade
counters. It would have been nice to have the counter described as to what
the lance was made out of. The map was the only good thing about the game and
the very entertaining module "The Galtor Campaign". I enjoyed this a lot for
an interesting read. Otherwise it was fairly bogus.

 "The Succession Wars" is one of my favorite games, but it needed serious
change to it. We played a game that lasted six months and I am proud to
announce that the Draconis League was established in 3047, some 88 turns
of combat between 5 people, fun!:)
 I do have a list of changes we made and to make the game more "accurately"
reflect the Btek mode of warfare and this can explain the long game:)
