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.
