These guys, http://megamek.sourceforge.net/ , are putting
together an on-line version of BattleTech.  I'm not a fan,
but I know there are plenty here on the list...

Look around for a game called Titans of Steel also... It isn't exactly
B-Tech, but darned close.

MechWarrior: Dark Age is coming out soon apparently, a "collectable"
miniatures game. The minis don't look half-bad (could do with a better
paint
job) and they may be good for use with SG/DS/FMA.

(I wonder if they can be removed from the base...)

I've seen the preview units they've sent out to some local game stores (one
mech, one hover vehicle, one infantry stand). Detail is pretty good, but they
are pretty big for Dirtside, but maybe a little small for Stargrunt. Sort of
reminded me of the 10mm GROPOS miniatures.

I'm given to under stand that with enough Dremel work, anything can be removed
from a base.
