Part of playing Classic BattleTech is keeping track of a boatload of modifiers and status effects that can impact the performance of your mech. From a damaged leg actuator to more complicated stacking PSR modifiers, the game can become a little overwhelming if you don't have a good system in place to manage all of these things. There is nothing worse than when you and your opponent both forget about that gunnery penalty due to heat, or that gyro hit forcing a PSR. Here at DFA Wargaming, we've devised a fairly simple and non-proprietary way to keep track of just about everything important. You may have seen a little of this in some of our battle reports, and this post is here to explain the details behind our system. It's a little different and far more expansive than what is described in the rulebook, but we think you'll find it useful.

DFA Optional & House Rules

8/11/2018

If you've watched our battle reports, you might have noticed we play with a series of optional rules published in the Battlemech Manual, Total Warfare, and some out-of-print supplements like Strategic Operations. This post itemizes all of the optional rules we use, and provides details (and some light analysis) on the house rules we've implemented at DFA Wargaming. When it comes to choosing optional and house rules, our top priorities are balance and speed of gameplay - but we also keep an eye towards recreating a feeling that is true to both Classic BattleTech and the MechWarrior game series we all love.

For the sake of organization, this post breaks down our selection and customization of rules into four main categories:
[1] Default Rules
[2] Optional Rules
[3] Modified Optional Rules
[4] House Rules
