NBT Rules & Regulations

The following are a compilation of all rules that govern activities within the NBT-HardCore league. Our goal is to simulate the BattleTech universe as closely as reasonably possible, making use of MW4: Mercenaries as the gaming platform. Between the rules and the automation, we simulate the grand scale of the universe which BattleTech creates.

We have organized the rules into seperate rule-sets to make reading and understanding them much easier. We encourage all to become familiar with the rules in order to improve your league experience.
