I read Decision at Thunder Rift as a kid and remember loving it are the others any good?

Those background units look so goofy. Like they just saw an old friend and they're both waving hello.

Practically everything in that artwork looks goofy--with the possible exceptions some of the rocks, and the title line ripped from MechWarrior 3.

I am surprised so few people on here have read them.

I read most of them in High School but I can barely remember anything.

I remember Exodus Road had a great premise, and Illusions of Victory had some pretty sweet arena combat.

Sorry, when I was in highschool, Star Wars novels were the drug of the day when licensed expanded universe was concerned. Probably would've given it a shot, you know, if they had any.

This cover art is sweet.

The good thing about Battletech novels is that you're spared from having to look at the hideously ugly designs.

Fixed.

Mechwarrior Online did a good job of making the less than great battlemechs look good in a 3D model.

>>14046799
Just avoid Far Country and you'll be fine.

Didn't read any of the novels yet. Too busy with TROs.

I own the Twilight of the Clans series. The Stackpole books are good, although it's obvious he's there for the politics. His battles are 1-page "shoot one laser-enemy destroyed" deals.

every time i play war thunder i feel a deep pain knowing that we need a new crimson skies with that kind of perfect sim-arcade fusion gameplay
>>
>>14062340
Amen to that brother

What is a good place to begin with BT novels?
I keep hearing the Stackpole's Warrior Trilogy is a good starting point.

You ever played Star Fleet Battles before? Now that's a huge right turn.

Stackpoles a good bet. The grey death legion books are good if you want some dougram fang of the sun fun

Probably one of my favorite of the novels. I mean it has a BLACK SAMURAI.
