Quite the change from Battletech The Lamplighter’s Leagueis an intriguing proposition, with theBattletechtech devs setting aside their big stompy mechs and stepping into the much sneakier shoes of 1930’s scoundrels as they wage shadow wars over supernatural artefacts. Its blend of real-time sleuthing and turn-based squabbling impressed Katharine when she snuck her hands on the opening mission last month, heralding it as a game of the year contender. Big words! Exciting words....
