It was at university that I had the chance to play pretty regularly, and I ended up running a mercenary campaign for a group of players for a couple of years. It was at university that I heard about the Clans from players who had more access to shops selling BattleTech material than I did, and my initial reactions to the introduction of the Clans were... well, negative. I'd probably have reacted better if there'd been a balancing mechanism introduced at the time, but BV didn't exist from what I remember, and even back in 1994 there were munchkins on the internet who liked to boast about how their hyper-tuned Clan ERML/LPL Mechs were awesome and they were the best players in the known universe. It's because of that I found myself preferring to play in the 3005-3039 era, although I ended up mostly reading and not playing when I left university and didn't have regular access to a gaming group.

"Formed" (given in ER:2750) or really "reactivated" by Selanta Amaris on Apollo? H:RW says the 3rd was destroyed on Stirling 2583. Also reference to cousin and military buildup in 2630s is inconsistent with many other sources, such as ''The Periphery'' and ''The Star League''. If the anti-Amaris bombing is amended to being in 2655, this solves all other issues. ===Outstanding Questions That Relate To Sarna=== ===Outstanding Questions That Relate To Sarna=== − * [https://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php?topic=63318.0 Eaton Aerospace/First Succession War/destruction] − * [https://bg.battletech.com/forums/index.php?topic=61174.0 Historical: RW p. 74 describes Robsart as a "provincial capital".

I started playing BattleTech back in the very early 90s, although I can't say with hand on heart whether it was the Crescent Hawks' Inception that lead me to the Fourth Succession War Atlas and BattleTech in general, or whether the Fourth Succession War Atlas led me to the Crescent Hawks' Inception, but between the two I ended up buying a fair number of the sourcebooks before heading off to university. It was at university that I had the chance to play pretty regularly, and I ended up running a mercenary campaign for a group of players for a couple of years. It was at university that I heard about the Clans from players who had more access to shops selling BattleTech material than I did, and my initial reactions to the introduction of the Clans were... well, negative. I'd probably have reacted better if there'd been a balancing mechanism introduced at the time, but BV didn't exist from what I remember, and even back in 1994 there were munchkins on the internet who liked to boast about how their hyper-tuned Clan ERML/LPL Mechs were awesome and they were the best players in the known universe. It's because of that I found myself preferring to play in the 3005-3039 era, although I ended up mostly reading and not playing when I left university and didn't have regular access to a gaming group. | I started playing BattleTech back in the very early 90s, although I can't say with hand on heart whether it was the Crescent Hawks' Inception that lead me to the Fourth Succession War Atlas and BattleTech in general, or whether the Fourth Succession War Atlas led me to the Crescent Hawks' Inception, but between the two I ended up buying a fair number of the sourcebooks before heading off to university.
