Why does BattleTech resemble (insert period in history here)?
Because BattleTech is a ‘reasonably’ realistic system, as far as it follows human nature. And human nature has a nasty habit of repeating itself. BattleTech is ‘not’ directly patterned after a specific time in history (beyond the 3025-3060’s or so). It ‘may’ draw inspiration from some, but that’s beside the point. If you really want to test my minor in Medieval Studies, you are welcomed to post your theory, but then I will poke a bunch of holes in it, so don’t get upset about it. It’s just a game.
