You can play BattleTech (board game) online on this java program. This includes a persistent online campaign where you have to do everything from purchase and train pilots to repairing and salvaging mechs while fighting for one of the factions of the BattleTech universe.

This looks interesting. I've looked around the site, but am not clear on where to get the images for the "fluff" directory. I see map packs and camo packs.

If you download, http://www.mekwars.org/MMNET.zip from main page, it will have all of the unit images and basic textures already installed.

This sounds pretty cool. I'd love to play the proper game like that again. The Amiga type game we played in college in 1989 was incredibly addictive.
