I don't know what everyone will think of this but I feel arenas should start with the opposing units on opposite sides of the arena. I mean who in their right mind would go attack someone and start off the attack in the midst of the enemy????
Just 5 minutes ago I went into an arena with a lance of SRM Jump expecting to see a company of units (that is another complaint I will discuss later) and it was, a company of MG Foot. I lost two units right off the bat. my other two units were on the other end of the arena.
They were like 1,10; 3,10; 8,10; 10,10 all the enemy were lined up along the 10 column of the arena and all towards the bottom.
I mean heck even in Rome the Gladiators knew who they were fighting and where they were.
The other problem I think we should at least know how many units are in an arena. I know the defender is at a disadvantage but I think knowing how many units isn't that much help but it would at least let you go in semi prepared.
Thanks for listening,
Brad

I think along the same lines, however most of that could be alleviated by not letting the creator of the arena move his troops into an advantageous position until there is an opponent in the arena to combat against. I mean it's not like an ambush, it's like just what you mentioned, Gladitorial. Every example of arena combat in Battletech shows that even House Lord arenas do not hold advantages for either combatant even if one is from the House who owns the arena.

i agree to this...and also both combatants should start at different sides with a movement pahse as beginning (so no more entering and getting killed without being able to use ur speed) i already lsot some units to this and thats just awful!
