<sigh>

Looks like it's illegal to ship a video game north
Which is kinda odd as I know we have the same versions.

Ah well, it would have been cool to blow t00l up in yet another game, I'll start
scouring the city tomorrow.

I have received several video games from peops in the U.S. and I am north of the border.  I think it is just because Hexx is involved  8)

Well, there is a Mercs league...but I'm not in any league.
We just like to blow s*** up!  ;D :P
There are many online servers that aren't league games.  ;)

Hmmm.... have the weapons damage been un-frakked?

I got it but it pretty much killed the game when only large weapons do any damage....

OK now that there's the remote possibility I'd get to hunt t00l AND Bear,Likkerpig, ...I really must pick it up..

So is Mechwarrior 4 Mercenaries the actual game?
Or is it an expansion pack? (seems to be listed as an expansion?)
Basically if I can't find the compilation pack , what do I need to buy?

I didn't notice that problem, but again I won't take an AC5 or smaller if I can help it. My personal mech was an awesome with 3 clan PPC's so a hit with that will put most mechs down.

Hexx, I am disappointed that I wasn't even mentioned in that hunting comment.

So, I'm throwing down the gauntlet, Clan style -

YOU, ME, MECHS and a MAP.

Be there, or be square !!!!

Uhmm as much as I'd love to pay shipping from europe, still
looking for it locally  :P

If all else fails I'll just have amazon send it to one of my friends in the
states. Then thye can forward it to me.
Sure the FBI might arrest them, but hey
isn't that what friends are for?

We'll have to hope that we can abide by some of the old league rules- 30 points damage per salvo (all missles)
i.e. 3XLRM 10's, 2XLRM 15's, and such. I never found a use for long tom's so I don't know how to count them.

Well, if you played the previous games or the pen & paper/table top game it is based off of... you will notice that in the latest incarnation of the Mechwarrior, the med sized weapons do the damage of small weapons (from the table top/previous MW series) and the small weapons do about 1/10th of that.

I will have to check out the mektek.

BTW, the chain guns ROCK!!!!
