Hey all, I've been casually playing battletech for... 30 years-ish? One thing I never put much thought into is what the hell are the numbers in the hexes for? Can someone enlighten me? Thanks!

So there's no official rule to them? Just personal reference?

As far as I’m aware. In the era of smartphones where smartphones are only a smartphone away it makes more sense to take a picture, but numbers would be the best old school way to pack up a game.
