Talk:BattleTech: Aces

"Originally envisioned as purely a card based expansion"

From the Sarna interview with the designer, Josh Derksen, https://www.sarna.net/news/battletech-aces-tommy-josh-lynnvander-studios/ "But more than just having an automated opponent, I felt very strongly that because BattleTech is such a narrative-driven game—given the universe and all of its sourcebooks—it would be weird to make an automated opponent that didn’t also have a narrative campaign to play it against so that you could actually gather all your friends and play a series of adventures as if you are playing through a BattleTech novel."

I'm not aware of any source from CGL that has said it was ever going to "purely a card based expansion."— Preceding unsigned comment added by 136.56.187.150 (talk • contribs)

I cannot locate a mention that the "larger, more comprehensive product" would card only so edited to reflect the Open Beta's uncertainty about final form.Cyc (talk) 07:46, 31 August 2025 (EDT)

They kinda say a card thing was proposed in the Aces talk on youtube, but from the way it is stated I suspect that it was never actually on the table in any serious capacity.--Dmon (talk) 09:30, 31 August 2025 (EDT)
