This poster was created as a promotional item specifically given out at Gencon '99 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin at the MPBT Kesmai dinner. From my Gencon notes, very few of these posters were printed.

The poster shows a map of Davion space with each of the five marches intended for 3025. Within each March area are the twenty regiment logos for that particular March, the five brigades assigned to each March, as well as the March logo.

Unlike most games, MPBT:3025 intended on appealling to players with different types of gaming interests. High level command staff (players) primarily dealt with the logistics side of the game, what resources were available to subordinate units, what were the long-range goals of the House.

Strategic play was geared towards brigade and regiment command staff. Specifc goals like what planet to attack or defend, and coordinating units to provide the strategic advantages.

For a brief time in 1994, one of the most respected authors in the FASA BattleTech universe, Michael Stackpole, played MPBT: EGA on the GEnie network.

A few more images are now available of various spots on the Solaris map.

Over the years that Solaris was in development/beta, many of the taverns and bars changed names and descriptions at Kesmai's whim.

Since many of the taverns were named after Kesmai employees associated with MultiPlayer BattleTech, a lot of the location descriptions were inside jokes at Kesmai about the employee that the location was dedicated to.

Another chunk of the GameStorm forum archives is available.

This section has a lot of the infamous in-character "Coke vs. Pepsi in the Inner Sphere" stories that lasted a long time in the in-character forums and spilled over onto Solaris.

destroying a helpless convoy. "Alright boys, we're moving in."

Silently, stealthily, the lance of Scarlet Talon 'mechs made their way down
