Some believe in their cause and some are just bored enough to get 
involved in a pointless argument.  I would love to find a civilied topic 
that compares various wargames systems but you an bet that hardliners 
would turn it into a "my system (something written in the last year) is 
better than your system (ditto)" argument.

I still consider the first scifi wargames rules I ever bought (Laserburn 
by TTG) about 20 years ago good rules since they were easy to alter.  
Then again I bought nearly eveything TTG produced.

Battletech/Mechwarrior has always been a odd idea to me since even 
though it's enjoyable, I can't equate it with a "wargame".  Whenever 
possible, I used my custom built PPG-armed  fast hovercraft to make like 
miserable for the walking targets.  Strangely enough, I always found the 
power armour in Battletech more to my taste than that in WH40K.
