Oh, do I have ideas for you!

Personally, I think 'Clans vs IS' is WAAAAAYYYYYYY overdone. I mean, it's been the focal point of every Battletech video game except Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries and Battletech: The Crecent Hawk's Inception (And Inception was only because it was set pre-Clans).

There are loads of good battles to pick from. I'd like to see some old-school stuff-Steiner vs Kurita, Davion vs Liao stuff. Or even go further back-a Fall of the Star League scenario-I think an especially cool one would be based around General Kerensky's departure. One team plays as Kerensky, they have to hold a Starport for X time while they get ready to GTFO of the Inner Sphere while the rebels attack them. Alternately, some of the Clan vs Clan stuff would be fun.

Something to consider might be having a Clan-based game where all the players play as Elementals. I could see some really entertaining anti-tank rules there-say, the only way to take out a tank is for 5 different players to run up and stick something to it (Or, in the interests of safety, hand something to a Ref acting as a walking guide). I think an Elemental-themed game would be the best way to go, since theming each player as a 'Mech is...well, kinda silly. Counts-asing tanks as 'Mechs is a bit better.
