>>96912473What am I looking at here?
>>96912473I'm still incredibly, devastatingly salty that all that goodness between the Reaving and Celestial packs got sidelined and postponed for Gothic (that even lacks Abomination models because they're cowards).And knowing how the industry works, the fact that they lied through their teeth that "it didn't impact other products" makes it worse.
>>96912473Damn, Fox Patrol is getting a box?>Another fucking Marauder
>>96912473What is this image for ant
Remember when pic related was meant to be a new thing?
>>96912473I wonder how the protomechs will be redesigned.Will they leave them as they are or make them more mechanical.
>>96912605No.
>>96912473>Hell’s Horses box>Sea Fox box>two Jade Falcons boxes>two Ghost Bear boxes>THREE Wolf boxes>zero Snow RavensThe devs fear the true greatest clan
>>96913101Clan Wolverine?
>>96913101They get Aces box
>>96913101>No Ravens>No Clan ProtectorateThey hate us, for they anus.>>96912605I really hope it's not vaporware
>>96913101The Raven box would just be a set of BFS cards for airstrikes and orbital bombardment. No point giving them mechs when they should never even set foot on ground.
>>96913101>>96912473>For Empire Alone, we looked at doing a Wolf OpFor for that box, but Catalyst had already planned three ForcePacks of Wolf-related miniatures, and we all felt it was enough. So I looked at what else is in the sourcebook and decided I would really like to see the Capellans as the opposing force. This box set is called Wrath and Reprisal, and it’s set in Capellan space along the border of the Duchy of Andurien. >The third box will be based on Dominions Divided. There are two big chunks in this sourcebook. One is the Federated Suns/Draconis Combine border and the taking of New Avalon. The other big chunk of that book is the Ghost Bear Civil War in the Rasalhague Dominion—the dispute between the Joiners and the Deniers as to whether they’re going to join Alaric Ward‘s new Star League. So we ended up with the Snowblind box set. You get inserted into the civil war and have to deal with trying to keep the peace between two different sides of the Ghost Bear touman. It’s a nightmare contract full of ethical gray areas, and I love how it’s turned out.>And finally, the fourth one is based on IlKhan’s Eyes Only, which is brand-new if you haven’t read it yet. Fantastic sourcebook—lots of really cool stuff happens in there. One of the new players that takes a bigger, more center-stage role in lKhan’s Eyes Only is the Raven Alliance—the Clan Snow Raven/Outworlds Alliance mashup. Box four is called Controlled Burn. You’re defending a planet on the border of the Federated Suns and Outworlds Alliance against a Snow Raven invasion.So CGB gets 3 boxes then
>>96913171>So CGB gets 3 boxes thenHow many years until the fourth Aces box sees release, do you think?
>>96912605>BattleTech Command>picrelidk man I genuinely think this has needed more time in the oven
>>96913410That looks fucking stupid.
>>96913410Wtf are those bases?
>>96913410This looks like some kind of cross between chess, Risk, and Stratego, a cheap boadgame version of shovelware.
I just want another turn based BT vidia, am I asking too much
>>96913549I'd like another strategy game. Honestly HBStech was a perfectly adequate 6.5/10 game that became an 8/10 when you ignored the story and used one of the big mods. I think they should do a sequel set in the Jihad or something.
>>96913574>I think they should do a sequel set in the Jihad or something.Why in the fuck would you think this? Advancing the era of the game is the number one proven method to FUCK UP. Even today CGL has to include evergreen mechs in their boxes to make sales, why? BECAUSE INTROTECH IS THE MOST POPULAR ERA.Every advancement of era loses you player interest, it is financially retarded to base a game in late eras.
>>96913688Fuck you, the Jihad is cool.
>>96913688I doubt most vidya players know or care about eras.
>>96913410Isn't this just battleforce?
>>96913549Even Halo did not get a new strategy game. Microsoft does not see profit in them, except Age of Empires 2.
>>96913574Aurigans need to be erased and the Bullshart is the new Ragnarok.
>>96913786They allowed Halo Wars 2 but refused to release it on any other platform except the Xbox store. Microsoft is more keen on cancelling and killing all its existing IP's. Probably going to end up pulling out the vidya market altogether eventually.
>>96912013>>96912084The new guy is bringing the Steiner scout squad; he's got the Thunderbolt, Banshee, Blackjack, and Wolfhound. I'm going to try and bring honor to the Dragon with a Cyclops, Catapult, Shadow Hawk, and Jenner. In hindsight, this guy was pretty deep into competitive 40k and Warmahordes, so I should have seen this coming. I guess losing dramatically is some pretty good advice though. I think the plan is deny LoS as long as possible then backstab/karate him if I need to fight him, but I'm hoping the mission will let me leverage the few advantages I have.
>>96913847The point the other anons are making is that if you actually want this guy to stick around and play more BT, you should absolutely hand him a win on his first game or two; stack the deck in his favor and just take the opportunity to run some of those less-than-optimal but still fun mechs. You’ll get blown up and lose but the other guy has a good time, feels good about the game, and is likely to come back for more. If you’re playing to win by using delay tactics, breaking LoS, or running off with the objective, that’s not as much fun for the new guy.
>>96913847Could just show up with a lance of 8/0 Charger 1A1's and introduce him to KickyTech?
