How was your trip to Berlin, Ice?
And what were your impressions?

Too many French people out there  ;)

More seriously, I liked it.
It is a capital city but without this impression of rush/hurry that you can find in other big cities I know.
And you have all kinds of things to do and see.

Nice to hear! And I had the same impression the few times I have been to Berlin.

I wasn't looking for that.
Perhaps Hessian could answer you.

BattleTech is indeed still played over here. The Mechforce Germany(in I believe its third incarnation) is still alive and active. Especially Berlin seems to have an active community.
And with Ulisses Spiele the new German BattleTech licensee new German product has been anounced(The new German Box Set has run into similar problems as the latest box set by CGL, though), which will hopefully increase the number of players.


On a personal level I have the chance to play BattleTech only once or twice a year. With only two other players. The reasons for this are manyfold, but mostly personal, coupled with some developments in the history of BattleTech that decreased the number of players in the region where I live:
 a) The intoduction of the Clans.
 b) The dissolution of the Federated Commonwealth
 c) The demise of FASA
 d) The Jihad(and the fact that its outcome was known beforehand)

I think those reasons were the reason a lot of people stopped playing  :'(

A)  Clans?::)
B)  The FedCom never dissolved!  It was just a case of miscommunication.
C)  FASA is just in a protracted restructoring.  It should be back up and running in notime.
D)  What's the jihad? >:(

You do realize that FASA as a license holding entity still exists right? FASA technical still exists in a couple of places, the least of which is the third version of Earthdawn produced by Redbrick. (Which by the way is pretty good.)

Hopefully, german players will appreciate the new BTech game (specifically the QS) and gain some new ground.

I sent two packages to Germany and it seems they might be lost :( Let's cross fingers.

It seems I am becoming the local post office best consumer.
Do you think they will make fidelity cards?
