Player Docs BattleTech 20 pits 20 players against each other in teams of 4. There are 5 teams that work for a successor state in the war after the break up of the peace keeping Star League. You are one of those players. At the start it will ask you for an alias to use in the game. Then it will ask you for an employer. These are important since it will effect your mission. Then you pick a mech. The heavier mechs are towards the bottom of the screen. They pack more punch but are slower and seldom have jump capabilities. When a mech jumps it shows the terrain around it for quite a distance. Light mechs also have more attacks since they can move quicker. And they also get more turns.
