Players...
The Strider's Strikers are based in both America and
Japan.  Our team has spread out over the years so we
cover a bigger geographic area.  I would like to thank
all my friends for playing in our BattleTech games.  
Those folks are honored on the below page link.  Many
people have contributed something here or there, and
that's been so helpful in the evolution of our BattleTech
story.  Hanging out together and expressing creativity
are the best parts about this game, but you must admit
the Mechs and main BT storyline are pretty darn cool.  
Anyhoos, here are the current active players and
contributors in our BattleTech storyline.  Please visit
the link below to check out the original Battletech
Players page and all that old school stuff.
