Anime Mechwarrior simple play mod for grey book rules

 

Just thinking on paper here , but just using the classic Battletech greybook rules you could make everything a lot more interesting and "anime" feeling if you assumed Jump movement was equipped on all mechs as a standard option, equal to their walk and mech with Jump Jets have additional jump capability at the regular heat costs defined as shifting to a Land Air mech mode (instead of all the silly LAM rules), with an option to stay airborne for 5 additional heat cost at a height of 6. Remove the Charge attack and Death From above except vs immobile mechs as all mechs are now far too mobile for such a thing (and to prevent pointless beserkerganging). So most light speedy mechs could "jump" a distance of 12 - very veritech and all mechs could leap otherwise extremely difficult to cross obstacles. Cap the movement modifier for hit rolls at +4.
