For me the pinnacle of the series was the first one. As primitive as it seems now it was a computerized version of the original game. I’m forgetting the name of the war between the Wolf and Jade Falcon clans (Trial of Refusal or something) but that’s how I was introduced to the Battletech universe. Yea, I’m a Wolf Clan in Exile geek. I wish them well.

I enjoy the cultural significance as well: Kerensky and the other Russian as well as the Mongol influences.
