Unless you are running old tech.

Go ahead use pre clan Mechs vs Clan mechs, at even odds. It's not
pretty.

While we are at it TSR has advanced a time line in at least 2 of their
worlds (Ravenloft and the Forgetten Realms). In the case of the
Forgetten Realms they did 3 novels to explain why all the rules changed,
plus issued a hardback book about the Realms after the change. A nicely
done, if some what forced, method of explaining what happened to some
characters classes that went away when the second editon of AD&D came
out.
