Well, I can't make a user for some reason, so I guess I'll just do this with the IP address.
Mechwar was created by the late Klaus Breuer, a Battletech fan and just pleasant guy. He fielded a lot of my stupid questions when I was young. 1.12 was basically the last completed project he had with it, and is really what I'd recommend to play.
I don't have much more background to add, he does have some modifications from the base game (no standing on buildings, missiles getting individual to-hit rolls, etc.) but I believe they're all explained in the documentation. If anyone wants to update the main page, feel free, but it's probably best coming from a registered user. Also, please fix that problem.
Rest in peace, Klaus. http://www.stellenboschwriters.com/klausm.html
