Does BV and Pts translate well?

Does anyone play BT by using Pts or do they prefer BV. Or are Pts for something else?

Are there scenarios for BT, eg take and hold, breakthrough, capture the thing etc?

What is considered a small game, medium size or big game. I remember decades a go playing 12 mechs each side.

Pts or Points. The builder notes BV and also a Points cost.

I've been playing this game since the day it came out as Battledroids, and I have no idea what you're talking about by "points".

Are you referring to the C-bill cost?

They are referring to the Alpha Strike PV value. Battletech uses BV, Alpha Strike uses PV. They are not equal, PV accounts for the differences that AS creates during its stat compression.

That's what I thought. I have not played or used Alpha Strike.
