Interesting Technology That I think would work well with BattleTech

Found this in my meandering of the Internet today.

Thought this would be amazing to use with BattleTech would combine video game aspects with miniatures

Dude, I've been saying for years that melding the existing tabletop game with computerized aids would be a fantastic development for BattleTech. Not quite this but something like it would be so helpful to streamline gameplay and keep track of all the action.

Welcome FlechsBison!

I am aware of the Mech Factory app but what I use frequently in our home games is the BattleTech To Hit Calculator.

It is quite helpful in generating solutions for our scenarios.

I will have to take a look at the others, thanks!

Flechs Sheets looks the most promising to me I'll have to play with it some when I have a chance.

Made by yourself I'm assuming Bison?
