MegaMek 0.47.0

Most board game players have at least heard about Battletech. It's one of the more complicated board games around, with limb health, terrain modifiers, and more to calculate. However, once you get a hang of it, it's a great amount of tactical fun. There are virtually infinite amounts of ways for a match to evolve, depending on army compositions and the scenario. However, board games are incredibly time-consuming because of all the manual calculations involved. MegaMek is a faithful digital recreation to get around that.

MegaMek is basically a video game that features all the rules of the board game, except digital. That means that there's artificial intelligence, automatic damage calculations, and most importantly, online features. If you're a hardcore player, though, fear not. This doesn't mean that the game is simplified. On the contrary, it's about as complex as the rules of the game. If you're a newcomer, though, there's extensive documentation that goes over the basics of the rules.

When you head into a bot game, you can have the AI automatically generate their own army, though if you want more specialized scenarios, you can create them yourself. You will also need to deploy your units and keep track of all your units and their positions, effective weapon ranges, keep the terrain in mind, and more. From a technical point of view, it may be too much for most people, but that shouldn't lead you to give up. If you're a fan of being challenged, then I recommend MegaMek to you.
