mekhq VS LibreOffice

With Alpha Strike, your best bet is probably to use the Chaos campaign framework. Yes, the full Campaign Ops rules are more detailed, but if you're not playing classic, you won't know which actuator was damaged or how many LRMs are left to compute all those costs. If you were to use those rules, MekHQ is handy to help you track everything. It has a steep learning curve, but is great once you get used to it (I play against the bot all the time).

Besides that, Megamek is a very typical way to play online, some players also prefer Tabletop Simulator.

I generally use the megamek mapmaker or maps from this drive. The megamek maps have to be stretched a bit in height to make the hexes fit foundry's hexes.

3. TROs are primarily lore books, there is generally enough info in them to build the units in them with the construction rules. I'd suggest using megameklab to look for interesting units and print record sheets.

MegaMek, the free java-based Battletech simulator. Does a lot of the thins Battletech tabletop does and has become an essential tool for the community and playerbase. It's now used in the creation of official Record Sheet files by CGL. And as a bonus, it got a namedrop shoutout in one sourcebook

MegaMek a java based Battletech Software Suite.

First of all, if you need to write a lot of files in the doc format, there's a lovely office suite called libreoffice! Also, cups is a decent print utility for most printers, I'd check that out as well.

Try LibreOffice or OpenOffice .

Both Apache OpenOffice and LibreOffice are descendents of the original OpenOffice (what you're probably thinking about.)

LibreOffice is under very active development and can be downloaded from https://www.libreoffice.org/

Apache OpenOffice is effectively abandonware at this point, see https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Product_Release It's mostly been maintenance releases since 2013.

If you want LibreOffice with support (or just want to support development), you probably want Collabora.

If you need programs like office word excel and power point but offline try looking into Libre office
