What is a good site to host a simple word document for sharing?

I'll be doing up a nicer, more properly explained version...that's the compiled notes as best as I can manage at the moment.

The cards are all really cool and well done too!

Ugh...

Well I went back through some cards (just spot checking) and realized I had the wrong heat calculated for AC-20's on a few cards.  I've changed the following cards:

Atlas
Cyclops
Hunchback

So now I'll have to order some replacement cards!

Oh, and in case anyone is going to print the cards, here are the backs.

Okay, here is a slightly more tidy PDF version for the moment.

Been knocking out some mechs behind the scenes...up to around 24 per side (though not built by Lance, so it would be two very...odd companies for each side).

Also couldn't resist turning my last Zeus into a Battlemaster.  I only had a few parts left in my box-o-bots-bits...so this one would end up looking a bit different.  I'll settle for two Battlemasters assembled around the same time, but at different factories with slightly different arms/etc.

With the regards to the two sides, I've actually been picking mechs at random from a box.  I didn't want to paint up an identical force for both sides.  I try to balance out some weight issues by picking a few select mechs, but for the most part, it's dumb luck which side ends up with which mechs.

Wow. Missed this thread and caught up yesterday. Great work. You got me digging out my old Battletech stuff and looking to order the catalyst plastic mechs - how do they size up with other manufacturers?

Couldn't tell ya.  I don't own any IWM stuff, so only the Robotech plastics, new Battletech plastics and some random Dougram gashapon figures from ebay.  I bought into the Heavy Gear KS a while ago, but I'm not sure how those scale with them.  As you can see from the pics, the Robotech stuff is more properly scaled, and is a bit larger.  The Valkyries etc. are way too big to use as light mechs.

I'll see if the Armored Valkyrie fits as a Crusader when it becomes available.  The small bases in the pic are the Renedra 25mm, while the larger bases are 40mm.  I'd say the Atlas is probably a good 60mm, while many of the small mechs are 25mm or less.
