In the invasion era, would Jade Falcon have access to Atlas II mechs?Also do Falcon warriors carry katanas like Elizabeth Hazen did?
>>97656240>In the invasion era, would Jade Falcon have access to Atlas II mechs?The Falcons bring one to Tukayyid so yes?>>97656169>I'm thinking I'll do them a pair of mediums, got a centurion downloaded, could do 2 of thoseDo it, they'd make decent toys.
>>97656169But if I do a Blackjack and a Hunchback I can paint them up as GMC (or Chevrolet) and Nissan, and they'll recognize that.
Posting early in this thread, but we should replace the MUL in the OP with MekBay instead. https://mekbay.com/?gs=cbt
>>97656294We should replace the dead links. MUL is still useful as an official reference.
>>97656311Useful how? it's force lists have errors, no record sheets and its optimization sucks.Mekbay is just better.
>>97656254Eventually though, this Thud alone is going to be over 70 hours of just printing, not counting the pilot in resin or that huge hex base which I might need to order more filament to do.
>>97656349Its force lists are directly referenced by multiple official and unofficial campaign systems.
>>97656349To laugh at>>97656363>huge hex baseFucking hell anon thought you were kidding about playing the supersized games. Really going to try it?
>>97656399So? It has errors, it's wrong. So those campaigns are wrong.
>>97656407>Really going to try it?If opportunity arises, sure.Probably just play with it on the floor and make pew-pew noises while annoying my girlfriend and bugging my cat though.
>>97656409Wow, you're so smart.
>>97656412Should build one for your cat to sit inside.
>>97656430The cat does not do costumes, tried that once and she limply laid on the floor for a couple hours like she was dead until I removed it.
>>97656442Why not make her a Catapult cat bed?
>>97656254Oh which book covers their usage of one at Tukayyid?
>>97656458Because the cat only sleeps on me.
Finished a mech on monday.
>>97656493Jade Falcon Sourcebook is the very first mention of the Atlas II ever existing. Was a typo but like a lot of typos it ended up getting canonized. Its part of the Peregrine Eyrie Cluster piloted by Star Captain Divvurn.>>97656551Where does your girlfriend sleep then? The catbed?
>>97656599Beside me, duh. Took awhile for the cat to allow it though
What's the goofiest lore unit paintjobs?
>>97656430
>>97656407Also, I'm not gluing it to the base, I'm just going to stand it on the base on the shelf, the pics I've seen of those large scale games don't use hex bases, It's just going to be a nice detail to decorate the big hex at 28/32mm scale, which the pilot seems to be after sizing her by eye.
First pick up game tonight after finding a store that plays closer to me. Only have played aces so far so looking forward to playing people. It’s 200PV and they didn’t say what era so I tried to make two late succ war lances out of what I have painted so far. Can any anons offer advice for a first game and/or playing this force?
>>97656830Cool project. Now I want to print off a couple big Griffins to defend my tv stand
>>97656885Who still has a TV these days? Computer is better for watching stuff.
https://store.catalystgamelabs.com/products/battletech-force-manual-mercenariesIt's out?
>>97656228As the original anon that has been asking for mekbay.com for a month now, I personally believe the mul link should stay, but mekbay.com should definitely be added to the force building list.
>>97656412Pro tip: basic tiling on squares is technically a hexgrid
>>97656872>advice for a first game and/or playing this force?Pick an enemy unit, run up on him, delete him with focused fire, repeat with another enemy unit in next turn. Keep your dudes with similar effective rangebands together. Try to position your mechs with a clear LOS to your selected victim while putting LOS blocking terrain between your force and his other units. Getting an early kill will shift momentum in your favor, so choose your first victim based on how many of your units you think you can manage to bring him under fire with as soon as possible. Don't worry about keeping your force completely intact, accept that you will take damage and lose units. Decide what is a good trade if you have to, and tempt your enemy into splitting fire by making less valuable units easier targets while your heavy hitters are all mugging one of his dudes as a group.Be responsive to changes in the tactical situation but do your best to stay on task and don't keep shifting your priorities because at that pount you're just reacting to your opponent and giving him control of the situation. Pay attention to what your opponents do and steal any good ideas they have that worked against you.And don't forget to relax and have fun.
>>97656965Every tv is a computer monitor now
>>97657236Sounds good anon, will apply this advice and hopefully play a decent match.
>>97657309Every TV is a Telescreen.Big Epstein is watching you.
>>97657309I used to have a multiple monitor setup, but I've come to be of the opinion that it's wastefully excessive, I can only be looking at one at a time.
>>97656872Pray you arent going to run into clans and it really is SUCC wars. A tmm2 heavy list would outtrade you. That being said you have the points, id trade that flea out for the FWL FLE-14 that way you have a pair of light chickens moving closer in speed. You cant afford to have something so fragile with only tmm2 it will get killed if anyone glances at it.
>>97656872>Can any anons offer advice for a first game and/or playing this force?Play a better game. Alpha Strike is shit and the people who play it should have remained filtered. That's a perfectly viable force for regular Battletech. Play that instead. Then you'll be welcome back to post here.
More pieces printed and cleaned up, another 12 hours or so and I should be able to assemble the legs and clip the torso halves together so I can put filler in the join line. Maybe tomorrow evening I can assemble the whole thing and prime it.
>>97658090Are you people ever planning on getting over the shit between AS and BT fucking 10 years ago? Nobody's planning on replacing BT anymore. Can't you let AS fans have their own game that just happens to be better, faster, and more popular, than yours?
>>97658139AS will always be a shitty ripoff meant to break the gate for 40kiddies, it will never become acceptable and you will always be given shit for playing it, if you like 40k stick to that, if you like Battletech play Battletech.Figure it out.
>>97658139A) Bitch I'm not over the Clans yetB) NoC) Alpha Strike is a shit game for shit tier players and it shouldn't exist and the people who like it shouldn't be here.
>>97658119nice progress! looks like you've got some ringing or top-level underextrusion going on. Have you tried putting something under the pribter to dampen the movement, like a thin foam pad?
>>97657905Updated and grabbed some later era cards + some other mechs/variants to maybe swap if the PV value is right. Hopefully no clan tech but I guess I’ll see.
>>97658139AS is objectively worse than the other three quick play systems of the Battletech franchise.
>>97658208>people who like it shouldn't be here.This exclusion is literally in the thread name, this is the Battletech General, AS is not Battletech, they're two different games under the same IP, much like Kill Team and 40k get different generals, and each edition of D&D gets a different general, etc... the two do not belong together.But for some reason ASsfags think they should be here, same with all the mechwarrior vidya faggots who don't get that this isn't even the right fucking BOARD for their shit.This is a general for BechP related tabletop games, not the RG, not any of the many videogames, just fucking BATTLETECH.Nothing in the OP posts has ever invited any of that other off-topic bullshit.
>>97657364Pls dont, guy above is tryhard competitive retard. This game is fat better if you fo pew pew sounds and goof around with stompy robots. Also write lore about your mech/pilots so it will dictate how you play match.If you play against clans don't dare to refuse his batchall.
>>97658235>This is a general for BechP related tabletop games, not the RG, not any of the many videogames, just fucking BATTLETECH.*for Battletech, not IP related games, not the RPG,Must have tapped an arrow key there.
>>97658235U will leave because I will post about Alpha Strike untill you do or swallow.
>>97658260Nah, that's cope.You're posting about AS until you get to play it, which is never.
>>97658119Coming along pretty good.
>>97658235stfu faggot
>>97658208Anyone excited for Leviathans: The Great War?
>>97658119Link to the files?
>>97658455on the telegram channel
Please continue posting aesthetic A F Alpha Strike boards with terrains and units duking it out. The more the better.
>>97658459I made a telegram recently and have been poking around but haven't found anything good. Hook a brother up /btg/@guerrillamail.com>>97658588city brawl from last night
>>97658793>too lazy to play Battletech>too lazy to search obvious keywordsMakes sense. Sink or swim on your own.
>>97658793Those will be epic once they're all painted up. They're already cool as.
Ha! AS fags btfo.
My first AS setup. Laugh if you must but we had some good times in orphan city
>All these AS setupsbu... but the Ares Convocation forbids city fights
Can mechs swivel their heads?
>>97658235It became the general IP thread after /gerg/ dieded.
>>97659351It's called "torso twist"
>>97659342do gooders also forbid me and my crew running up in your planet and taking your shit. stop me faggot
>>97659360No i mean the head. Some artwork has it but it never seems consistent.
>>97659384I gave you the answer. Art is only art.
>>97659351According to art, yes, with mechs such as the Commando and No-Dachi being shown with obviously turned heads (although the Commando was misinterpreted by later artists as having a jauntily tilted helmet and beady round eye where the original art with the turned head had a visor style window with a protruding "ear"). Ruleswise, no, unless you use a torso cockpit and battlemech head turret.
>>97656575Shiet, looks good anon. I like it.
>>97659404
>>97659464So jaunty.
>>97659472I would tip my hat, but I haven't figured out if it can be put in un-tipped mode.
>>97659475Bonus Recon helmet mode.
>>97659479Which is the backside of this. I actually kind of want this in 3d. It's pretty cool.
I'm sure Grayson Carlyle and the Bounty Hunter have jaunty adventures across the inner sphere, but I cannot bring myself to care about most of the story and metaplot in BT. It's like the opposite of warhammer where I realized I sisn't like playing that game but liked all the fluff, I love playing battletech but half the stories put me to sleep
>>97659351I would like to add that there is more "classic" art of true humanoid mechs showing that they can move their heads than there are showing the opposite. 3D renders of PGI designs don't count because they are deliberately designed with fixed unmoving heads. If it looks like it has a neck then it probably can move.
>>97659529art is the lowest form of canon, RAW trumps depictions which are subject to "artistic license"
>>97658235Behold, the rant of a nogames. You can especially notice the vitriol with which he regards anyone else who isn't him having fun.
Lorelet here. Taurian Concordat seems pretty based as far as I've been able to tell.What's bad about them again?
>>97659579They're space finland but tertiary """fans""" insist that they're space texas.
>>97659579Mostly their fans.
>>97659579Mostly they're ineffective periphery weaklings with delusions of grandeur. You gotta admire their guts, though. They're also bros who stand by their word. You don't see that in many other factions.
>>97659545Nice strawman, faggot. It's no wonder you can't argue without fallacies if you like AS though.
>>97659627Post games
>>97659627>Only *I* decide what is and isn't Battletech! Me! The guy who only played Mechwarrior Online and nothing elseIzzat an accurate depiction of you lil bro?
>>97659641Goalpost moving>>97659643Ad hominemI think a 4th grade debate club is more your speed, kiddo.
>>97656872First game went very well, met some cool people and had a good time. We played a 2v2 and were trying to hold objective points but unfortunately we were unable to finish because there was four of us for a two hour window. This is a picture taken near the end of the movement phase of the last turn. Will definitely go again and hopefully this will give me the motivation to get more printing/painting done.
>>97659648Where games?
>>97659658Where's your argument?
>>97659648I have called you a nogames. Therefore until you post evidence of having played a game you will continue to be a nogames tourist who gets angry at people for having badwrongfun. No goalposts moved here, anon
>>97659579They are not laissez-faire frontier cowbows as some portray them but communists of the highest order
>>97659579They're based in a way that appeals to a certain amount of people. They're a militarized people with a fortress mentality that isn't helped by the rampant fearmongering of their government to justify just that little bit more defence spending. On the other hand, they've been proven RIGHT multiple times and while they eventually got their shit kicked in by arguably the greatest army the Inner Sphere has ever seen, they also put up the best fight and gave way harder than they got. The Taurian lore is pretty fucking great, but you get a lot of people ignoring the bad while focusing on the good. The downside of a LOT of this shit is that they're a shrinking state. They keep losing ground one way or another and that their society is eating itself slowly, which isn't helping at all. The intense government driven paranoia about getting invaded is absolutely pervasive through their entire society and isn't great.I don't know why the fuck people keep comparing them to space Texas, they're Space North Korea.
>>97659662I see, you can't address the argument because it's watertight, so all you can do is strawman.
>>97659651With the four of you playing relatively similar force sizes it might have been wise to use "formation movement", that is to move units in lance groups. With that said, glad to see that you enjoyed yourself
>>97659651Staged, fake and gay.
>>97659651Looks like fun. I'd love to get something like that going IRL for me.
>>97659673No, my argument is that you're a nogames. A separate argument from whatever it was that you were arguing before. The burden of proof is on you now to prove that you aren't a nogames. Can you provide this proof?
>>97659667wtf I LOVE the cows now
>>97659676It probably would have been a good way to play it. I tried to have some semblance of that with the little impromptu fire group on the hill just to keep it a little faster on my end.
>>97659687>Double down on strawmanSad that your IQ is capped at 85
>>97659683Check out the stores and ask around anon, I’m probably lucky to have found a healthy group so close but I had no idea they even played till I popped in last week to see what’s up.
>>97659736Post games.
>>97659736I accept your concession.
>>97659736
I play both. Actually played more classic this year than AS. Heres a game. Played Op for against some newer players Mercs on campaign. I cooked too hard with the list and put 50% of his forces into withdrawal before he could touch the center building, so he opted to destroy it and retreat, technically a draw. Need to make rubble bases so its not chopped carpet tile.
>>97659781>losing the match >blows up the objective and leaves Glad to see you are bringing them up right anon.
>>97659789I was a bit miffed but the Scenario designer didn't harden the building sufficiently so tactically it was an option.
>>97658236>guy above is tryhard competitiveNegative. I am as casual as they come. But if you're playing a wargame you should still try to win, even if you don't care if you lose. I don't even play AS unless I have to, mostly BECAUSE the game encourages the play I described. There is little nuance to it, it's just 95% roll more dice than your opponent, so you have to move aggressively as units or you're just "flipping coins" in duels, which isn't fun. AS is best as a company scale maneuver game, which fits with the advice I gave.The advice I WANTED to give was, "play Classic instead" but that would have been as helpful as saying "just do pew pew sounds and goof around with stompy robots." I mean, we're all doing that anyway, right?
What's the least popular Clan, in terms of number of players? One of the snakes? monkey?
>>97657364manei doggini....
>>97659919Probably the Stone Lions because they only exist at the end of the Wars of Reaving and barely do anything.
>>97659935that's where Devlin Stone came from. I ain't Lion either
Would you consider the power level of an average clan medium roughly on par with an IS heavy or lower?
>>97660108Yes.
>>97660108Clan light against introtech. An Adder has a good chance of outmaneuvering and outlasting a basic Warhammer.
>>97660173>nah man you see two ER PPCs on a stick that runs twice the speed of a mek and outranges it is a good frame of comparisonComparing weight classes generally doesn't work, but especially if you do it like you are doing.
>>97657093Yup its out.
>>97660173Clan lights (lights in general, really) are very fragile, though, so even though they can have more firepower than IS heavies they're also glass cannons. Adder is also somewhat of an outlier, in that most other Clan lights don't carry double cERPPCs, but are faster and usually have configurations built around close-range fighting.I think in mos cases low-end Clan mediums compare better to IS heavies.
>>97660205>>97660345The Warhammer is fragile for its weight, the Adder has max armor for its weight class. The latter takes less damage due to higher movement, the former takes more shots. Both have heat problems with their main guns due to insufficient sinks, though the Adder really suffers from spending weight on the computer. It all balances out the power level.
>>97659667They also get their asses kicked by catgirl hedonists on the regular. Great at defense, but offense so bad they need nukes to be taken seriously.
is there any thor that has proper arms and the loadout of the tdr 5se? big laser on the right arm, bunch of smaller ones left torso and a lrm pack?
Which is more iconic for the RWR: the Dragoon or the Rampage?
>>97659667Blame Tex for the Space Texas meme. I would not call them Space North Korea though, they are nowhere near that batshit insane.They were expanding and far more interesting during the late succession wars and clan invasion period but then the writers sort of gave up on doing anything meaningful with them so wrote them as a bunch of tards who sit around playing video games going on how great they used to be and blaming everyone else for their problems while refusing to do anything to solve said problems. If anything they are a bunch of Space Dwarfs. >>97660474Rampage and frankly anything with a flamer.
>>97658298Last weekend game, my clan star against IS lance.Get lost faggot. You wont be missed.
>>97659308Pro tip for forests bases, use fake grass, cheap and you can find rly good colours.
>>97659860Ok, I might went bit overboard. Also I agree that movement is key in AS, my last game with 18"j Jenner has proven it.
Almost done, one more long print for arm pieces and a short one for connectors and joints.
>>97661251Cool.
>>97661392What's really cool is that so far no glue has been necessary, everything fits together tight enough to just snap fit, the pieces that are supposed to rotate do so but just stiffly enough I can pose it and not have to hold it up to keep that pose.I will glue the torso halves so I can fill that gap, and the hip/shoulder shields will need gluing, but that's it.
>>97659667They're not really at North Korean levels of insane, and there's a bunch of other aspects of their society that don't really synergize with the comparison either.They're more in the realm of Space Poland or Space Finland, with the FedSuns being their Russia.
>>97661426>North Korean levels of insaneNever forget that everything you "know" about North Korea is propaganda produced by their enemies. I've never been there, you've never been there, we don't actually have a clue.The only real precedent we have for something like their reputation is the things taught about WW2 Germany and many of us know from individual research later in life, much of that ranges from merely untrue to absurdly false.
Mates want to play an RPG campaign in which they play a group of ComStar characters, era matters not unless it's fun. I'm thinking of basing it during the height of the Jihad and make them part of a Explorer Corps fleet that's been operating deep, deeeeep in the Periphery and has no knowledge of the galaxy consuming war being fought throughout the Inner Sphere. They've been experiencing problems with their HPGs lately and upon returning to a ComStar facility on the edge of documented space they find it under siege by the WoB and are immediately hurled into horrors of the Jihad.That's the start. No clue where to go from there lmfao
>>97661708>no knowledge of the galaxy consuming warFTL communications, mobile HPG modules. Comstar wouldn't be Comstar without it.
Potential items to become the subject of a “that guy” story?
>>97661774>They've been experiencing problems with their HPGs
>>97661865So is this just the CamOps reputation rules with minor tweaks?
>>97662023This is from campaign operations in the force operations section.
>>97661871For how many years?
>>97658233Could you show us the arguments that led to your conclusion?
>>97659308This is pretty cool for a start>>97661708What system will you use?
>>97662057
>>97661871They're the phone repair people, they can either fix it or return to get a new one.Finding shit is pointless if they can't report it, they'd be a waste of materiel if the died and never reported back.
They included Wylie's Coyotes with the original unit logo. I guess winning the unseen debacle really emboldened CGL. There isn't any new info though, just a recap of their mysterious appearance and employment by the fedsuns.
They seem to have omitted Nasty being down to get nasty with anything that walks on two legs.
>>97661865Which book is this?
>>97662134
>>97662146>>97662134Nasty K was popular because she was a leather clad hot red head power fantasy for virgin nerds. Same reason Mara Jade and other moody redheads are so popular.
>>97662108>Pretends he can't read the post twice in a row(You)
>>97662074Depends on which they want to use but I quite enjoy the MechWarrior ruleset, mainly 2nd, but I'm easy.
>>97662191>hot red headIm sold.
>>97662146Wonder what changed in 3040
>>97662436She's only a red head sometimes. Nasty changes her hair more often than her clothes. Also gets a lot of plastic surgery, her facial features could be completely different from month to month.
>>97662445At some point the 'goons connected with the clanners to go over the invasion plans and iirc, they were also waffling pretty hard on whether they wanted to participate or oppose it.
>>97662436Might as well go after Latinas. More crazy, but consistent.

>>97663207I think I would give it to Bear just because claws suck. Although he does have way more ammo in way more places, so he's more susceptible to Sudden Onset Crusaderitis Ksyndrome. Crael has so little SRM ammo that 4 rounds of alpha striking will deplete them, leaving him with just the traditional CT MG bomb. Not that you'd want to do 4 rounds in a row anyway, since he doesn't have great heat sinkage and will start to accumulate penalties by the second round. If Bear uses a ton of his SRMs for infernos, I think it would be even worse for Crael.
>>97663692Quality shitpost
Are these Battlemechs?

>>97664169Sadly working on it further probably has to wait, cows chose today to start calving, spent my afternoon elbow deep in bovine puss pulling calves out of a couple first time mothers, got lots of that ledt to go day in day out for at least a month now.
>>97664175Good on you for defying the battletech nerd stereotype anon. Looking forward to seeing more of the cat scarer when you have more free time.
>>97664220Where did I say I'm not a nerd? One can be nerdy and still pull wrenches, lift weights and work in cow shit.I am something of a renaissance man, really.
>>97663909The dropbox. The first one of the four links.
>>97664175Buddy, we all know there's plenty of farmers in here, and farmers all can do a million things because services are expensive and getting people out to fuckwhere is slow.Good on you doing cow calf when beef is this high.

>>97664418>dat headrubI recognize that move! The cedar fencepost destroyer.On topic. How fucked would we be if we had to deal with Range Bull size cattle without mechs?
>>97664455The size of the animal doesn't matter much if you make them either friendly or fearful when they're young. It's all about conditioning.I got one bull who used to be an asshole but I had a conversation with him with a fencepost and now all I do is hold up a toothpick and he gets his shit together real quick.
>>97664455>>97664418>>97664393
>>97664455I don't know, they don't look much bigger than American Buffalo, and that's doable with the right setup.
>>97664481That's fine and dandy if you control the whole operation, but yearlings into fat steers on the gain means a bunch of aggressive retarded castrati the size of rhinos.
>>97664488Friend, I was part of the Beefalo "Buffalo meat" scam back in the day and buffalo are fucking bastards, I tell you. Also, range bulls are basically Asian elephant-sized.
>>97664393Aw. G'day Steve. Welcome to the world.Man, I miss the farm i grew up on.
>>97664500I mean they still apparently raise 500,000 head, which ain't much but blows the 30,000 ish wild population out of the water.>Also, range bulls are basically Asian elephant-sized.And yeah, part of a proper setup is having a fence layout that looks like it came straight from Jurassic Park.Way more than three strings of barbed wire, but it's not impossible infrastructure.

Just bought the starter set and i am painting my 1st mini (Capellan confederation).Can someone give me a QRD on Infantry? I really want to include some, but i am uncertain how.
>>97664580Jurassic Park is actually a really shitty way to handle large animals. It's part of the plot of the original book, that the people running the place have no real knowledge or interest in keeping animals, so they tried to brute force "amusement park" instead of "zoo" and had very pisspoor enrichment or care, doing stuff like keeping highly intelligent predators in bare enclosures that leave them no other option but to try to break our to stave off boredom, or putting all the herbivores together regardless of which ones might be territorial or just spooked by the others. They even had toxic plants within reach of them purely because it "looks Jurassic", which resulted in the one vet who came to the island basically calling them all retards and then their corner cutting bit everyone in the ass.
>>97664666There are three kinds of infantry, power armored, conventional as presented by Total Warfare, and conventional as presented by Tech Manual (built differently, same rules in play). Conventional infantry are either a non-factor due to being way too slow or dying instantly to a prepared enemy, or are annoying and hard to kill because most guns only get one or two guys out of whole platoons.
>MFW /tg/ are all Taurians at heart
>>97664693So they are just used as a "speed bump"?
>>97664699Regular guys on foot are, yeah. They can be decent ambushers if hidden units are in play, but even "fast" infantry is as slow as the slowest mechs by themselves. They're more useful if you can get them planted on an objective or choke point.They're also really easy to cheese initiative with, since they're very cheap, so common houserules have them all go first or last or get grouped up to keep the total unit count down.
>>97664699>>97664708
>>97664684>Jurassic Park is actually a really shitty way to handle large animals.I mean yeah, but I was talking less tiny enclosures with huge fences and more a network of huge fences setup so you can safely move small numbers of large animals and heavy equipment between corrals...That's what I remembered about the one Beefalo ranch I went to in my youth: Tall fences basically fencing in the paths between the paddocks and using a network of those to corral the animals....It's also how I played Jurassic World Evolution.>>97664708>but even "fast" infantry is as slow as the slowest mechs by themselves.>>97664754Not only that, but I was humbled here when an Anon introduced me to Motorized Infantry: All the Mobility of a Conventional Vehicle with the Durability of Infantry!
>>97664754>>97664819By themselves those paratroopers move the absolute minimum speed anything in the game is capable of moving without being stationary. Only literal buildings rooted to the ground are slower.

>>9766469590% of people who post here are paranoid self-important rural shitheels with an overdeveloped sense of their own superiority and without the brains for gave a sand flea, so yeah, /btg/ being Taurian space mostly tracks.

>>97664918>paranoid self-important rural shitheels with an overdeveloped sense of their own superiority and without the brains for gave a sand fleaHey I at least have the brains of a Goldfish!
>>97664918History has shown that rural folk have a pretty decent right to feel self important compared to the mindless urbanite chattel that end up destroying their nations in some retarded revolution constantly.
>>97664930I figured the mindset would be more prevalent coming from the online spaces but the game I played the other day had everyones forces in the newer eras and only me before the helm memory core. If I had to guess it’s probably the old heads here pushing the succession wars/clan invasion only agenda.
How's a Gurkha if you're not using c3i? I'm weighing options for a campaign I'm in and need some fast mechs that can also hit fairly hard. I've got plenty of 4/6ers and a couple of zippy scouts with little to no firepower, but only a couple fast strikers and it's bit me in the ass.

>>97664963Eh, there is also the fact that the Clan Invasion introduced broken tech, and then when they did the proper thing of doing more complicated side grades there was still that Clan Invasion Clan Tech breaking the damage/range/weight ratio.
>>97664121The white stripe in the thumbnail looks like you came over it.
Dragon status?
>>97664699Infantry are also excellent spotters for indirect fire. When entrenched in buildings, they can be very hard to kill unless the opponent is prepared for it. They're sitting ducks in the open, when hit with artillery, or shot at with anti-infantry weapons (MGs, flamers/infernos/plasma, etc.)
>>97664684>Jurassic Park is actually a really shitty way to handle large animals.To be fair, that's kind of the point of the film.
What's the correct play here?
>>97665282Aim for the dick.
>>97665282>>97665303>Aim for the dick.Unironically would be one of the most effective ways to incapacitate a bipedal Mech.
>>97665352Isn't it unironically where the gyro is located?
>>97665373It is "housed in the heart of every 'Mech's torso". So it's probably more in the "chest" region.The hip is part of the pelvis, in terms of human anatomy, and the "hips" of a mech are located in the legs, in terms of mech construction, so that region in mechs is technically not part of the mech's torso.
>>97665373Not entirely sure...I think it'd honestly be more useful in the Upper Torso so it could work against the waist joint.

>>97666044Ignore him. There's nothing more arrogant than the unskilled dumb animals of the concrete vote farms. They don't realize they're the biggest cash crop of all.
>>97666049That seems to be a pretty common sentiment. I and and some of the people I play with tend to go up to Jihad, but very rarely beyond that. Jihad adds some useful tech, like HPPCs and SNPPCs and introduced a bunch of good variants for older mechs that hadn't seen much upgrades since 3050s, but DA mostly just added weird and clunky sidegrade equipment that only have rules in TacOps or IOps and usually aren't worth using anyway (most of the specialist armors are just downgrades compared to standard or ferro-fibrous, and VSPLs are somehow even worse than IS pulse lasers).
>>97666103I will use the Omega superheavy or the Rattler, but those do make very good "End Boss" type units. But both are based on Star League designs and can be used as such or handwaved as prototypes, R&D can take decades after all.
>>97663614Its a shame Cranston, you would feel at home with the /btg/ discord guys.

>>97658420Is it a thing I can buy right now or is it still unfulfilled(coming up on 3 years)?I remember when people were touting its success as a huge dunk on the "chuds" lol
>>97666144Forever unfulfilled, CGL aren't going to put money into it, they're just stringing NEA because it's something different they can show at conventions to get attention for their stuff while showing him off as a form of Battletech legitimacy "Look we've got nuclear Urbie endorsing us, by our shit!"

>>97666200Eventually, going to be busy for awhile though.
>>97666165Very experimental by SL era, and rediscovered by 3067.
Damn, I can't even fathom how this one works. The short range is everything within one mapsheet or something?
>>97666144....is the flying WW1 game 'woke' or something?
>>97666713*taps pipe* There was drama in 2021 with a Battletech writer. He got """fired""" (he was a freelancer and stopped getting hired) for deciding that he no longer needed a filter and was angering a very autistic group. This wasn't the first time he'd done this, but it was the first time he began to try and tie Battletech to being 'aligned' with a specific political ideology, just as the franchise exploded into popularity from GW deciding they can be assholes again after pretending they weren't for like 6 years.*packs pipe, lights, puffs on it contemplatively*There were calls for a boycott. The kickstarter succeeded and there was a lot of gloating from people who believed they had "won" against some kind of foe. As always, the mormon cabal collected their petrodollars and proceeded to completely shit the bed again and again. The wheel turns, do it not.
>>97666653I don't know why they formated it like that, it should just say 18 mapsheets in the long range bracket with nothing in short or medium. Whoever made that record sheet either doesn't know how to work it or got lazy. Artillery doesn't have a short or medium range, but can make direct attacks or LRM style indirect attacks within 17 hexes.
>>97666713CGL stated they won't tolerate hate symbols in it, so no one can play Germany or Finland. Fins used the Hooked Cross and the Iron Cross is listed as a hate symbol in many nations.
>>97666772Remember that all started with a fake troon writting for Sharpnel and trying to cancel him for writting a modern cheap version of Red Dawn. Also at that time some troons got into the Demo Team, and took over the subreddit.
>>97666882It actually started decades ago with him getting into screaming matches with co-workers and management and fans and critics, then he got online and started getting into virtual shouting matches with anyone and everyone until someone higher up finally decided he was a liability and declined to renew his freelancer contract.The fake troon incident was over a year before he got canned.
>>97666876>mfw british empire symbols are allowedmy grandfather had 75 "servants" in Calcutta and he beat one of them to death for delivering his tea cold. Sorry germs!
>>97666913And that's why they'll never publish it as "hate symbols" is an ever progressive category, a company that wishes to remain woke and diverse cannot touch either world war without stepping in a pile of shit somewhere.
>>97666905>screaming matches>one autistic rambling about the Urban IIC in FBSure, a "liability". But the pinko red with two supposed "troon kids" is not...Go home Catalyst Observer, your are drunk..
>>97666954>oneNo anon, that was one of the final straws. Herb is infamous for getting into arguments with anyone and everyone. Also, the guy who isn't even actually a troon because he only pretended to be a woman on the internet hasn't written anything for Battletech since that one Shrapnel story. How can you call yourself obsessed if you haven't even been tracking his every move?
>>97666905>>97666954>>97667064
>>97667064Sorry, not Herb, Blaine. Although also Herb to a lesser extent.Also, Brian Young isn't a liability because he doesn't get into screaming matches with management and coworkers and fans and critics and random people on the internet. He clears the bar of "delivers his writings on time and within budget", so they keep going back to him. You'd think that's a low bar, but most freelancers only clear it by the skin of their teeth.
>>97664259So link is working fine, though Ive seen issues when people use the phone to access it.
Are we talking about BLP?Because if so, that bagpipe loving asshat can go eat a bag of dicks. I'm not saying I'm exactly a fan of Bryan "More Positive Sex Worker Representation" Young either, but come the fuck on, this guy is horrible.
>>97667064>the guy who isn't even actually a troon because he only pretended to be a woman on the internet hasn't written anything for Battletech since that one Shrapnel storyEven CGL realize they were dealing with a schizo, not the women they thought he was. But whatever CGL Observer, BLP, one of the guys with the franchise from almost the start was a liability, a cheap pedo that creeps in SW groups for young women is not.
>heh, it's a good thing that trannies can't use our psychhats, right fellow manly straight man pilot? can you imagine how bad it would be if they were able piloting our combatdroids? now come over here and get yourself some extra testosterone before we hit the showers togetherTruly, Pardoe is a master wordsmith.
Did Frederick get some kind of plastic surgery when he became Focht? Or everyone knew who he really was but went along with it?>Uncle Fred... I mean no he's a total stranger to me haha
>>97667135The cheap pedo consistently delivers on time and within budget, without screaming at fans and critics and coworkers and managers and random passersby. That makes him a golden child among a class of freelancers who collectively couldn't write their way out of a paper bag without overrunning the time frame or failing to adhere to editorial notes.
>>97667086>>97667108I mean a book a year is still an insane pace, so I have to give him that...>>97667155...Even if it is mostly trash.
>>97667155The subreddit/troon discord is that way anon
>>97667164He was utterly unrecognizable and no one came even close to figuring him out until they did because the plot needed to move along.
>>97667166You either ignore, or choose to ignore, BY actions in social media, and his asociates actions lately.Go away corpo bootlicker, shoo shoo
>>97667232That doesn't look like a big angry rant against a critic, fan, coworker, or manager to me. Got any of those like all the ones BLP did and still does?
>>97667240I mean, the only thing against BLP is the FB post (gonna admit that is a huge autistic sperg). But between that and BY talking about "queering" BT everywhere, or trying to put his politics and sexual preferences (very young nubile girls with gorwn men), i get with the regular autistic grog than the "reliable" woke pedo.
>>97667271>I mean, the only thing against BLP is the FB post (gonna admit that is a huge autistic sperg).That's the just the most available, years before that he got himself banned from the OFFICAL FORUMS for the exact same shit!And wouldn't the dysmorphic be a BETTER fit for Mech Pilots?Like, one of the issues with Protomechs was how too into being the Mech the pilots got.
>>97667155Oh great now Valk's here
>>97667271Once again, that FB post isn't even close to the first time he's done that. He goes on those rants constantly and has since at least the 90s. In a lot of other franchises, he would have been booted decades ago, either the first time he got into it with a customer or the first time he got into it with management. BLP was handled with kid gloves because he also delivered reliably. Eventually that camel's back was going to snap. They didn't even actually fire him, they just declined to renew his contract. Young doesn't verbally attack customers. Young doesn't attack managers. It took 30 years of BLP being an absolute butthole to get his contract declined. Why the fuck would Young get canned for having positive interactions with theoretical customers when there's that much leeway?
>>97667309>>97667319Wonder if we got BryBry in here, or one his buttbuddies like Rusty Zimmerman.
>>97667332You can be sure it's some kind of zealot faggot or troon trying to slip in a statement like "akshually trannies are the best pilots"
>>97667358Too articulate to be Valk. Most likely the troon chaser phoenixgsu from the subreddit, he tends to raid places and scrappe "problematic" discord servers.
>>97667374>knows redditors by nameGo back.
>>97667374To be fair if you're on discord and you're not a troon or pedophile then something is very wrong, it's quite explicitly meant for only those.
>>97667377>>97667381>something is very wrongDude, we are autistic spergs talking about a 40 years old miniature game in a mongolian basket-weaving forum.
>>97666882>troons got into the Demo Team, and took over the subredditMany such cases. What circumstances even occur that allows that to happen? Every normal person I’ve interacted with is repulsed by troons at the very least, if not outright hostile to them. I get that once they get one in the door they’ll recruit other troons but who keeps letting the first one in?
>>97667400And how does that equate to hanging out on social media for pedophiles?Chess is much older and more autistic, it's also prestigious internationally.
>>97667407>but who keeps letting the first one in?In this case mere corporate bootlickers, fucking retards who were all >ZOMG a company licensed the IP we must worship them! >Of course you can put employees on our mod team, we would be le honored!!The default stance to corporations being involved in a game should be suspicion and hostility.

>>97667553And the funniest shit is to see how porchmaster have to deal with the pedo and his libtard friends...
>>97667108Is that faggot the reason there are so many goddamn Northern English in BattlTech?! Trying to glaze up incompetent confederate jackasses was annoying, but the fact you can't throw a rock in the inner sphere without hitting some form of bagpipe-obsessed cockroach is just unbearable. >>97667170 It is. I think Stephen King was churning out one every two months, but a lot of that was powered by cocaine as well as talent..

>>97667741Yeah well you're not signing the checks now, are you?As that other anon has repeatedly pointed out, the only reason Bryan has the job is because he's both super cheap and delivers on time.Pardo was the same, except since he had been doing it for five times longer, he thought he was some damned authority on the Giant Stompy Robot franchise he doesn't own.
>>97667319Mostly because criticizing him when he shills his shit on Plebbit (Swankmotron) or other "Official" "fan" "community" gets shut down by the mods because they're buttbuddies.
>>97667763PSR failed, you spend the next turn face down in the dirt.

>>97667803You would think that, but I am pretty sure at least part of the new wave of military scifi pulp novels on amazon are at least AI assisted. You don't write 5 books a year 4 years in a row on just white monster and what you can remember from your last Afghanistan deployment.
you guys like Estevez MBT?
>>97666144>Is it a thing I can buy right nowYes, sort of. The retail KS backers got their stuff and put it up for retail sale, and it almost universally sold out within about 2 weeks. A few KS retail backers have gotten second shipments and put stuff for sale. If you catch one, you can buy it, but it almost immediately sells out. I tried to order from KB Hobbies when I got a notification about noon that they were in stock. By the time I'd gotten home from work, they were sold out of practically everything. All I got was a British starter box. I understand that Europe is slowly getting their stuff and Aus is getting shit on for fulfillment, but that happens with everything CGL does and I don't care about Australia anyway. They chose to live somewhere shitty, so they can cope with not getting shipping in a timely fashion.The general retail release is imminent, and not the usual CGL "imminent". This was the February GTM, and they don't let you publish stuff that isn't going to release within the quarter or else they charge you more money. So it's pretty much a lock that it's going up for general retail sale by end of April at the absolute latest, otherwise CGL has to pay penalties to GTM. I'd expect to see it up for sale at adepticon, at least. If I was willing to travel to the US, I'd consider going in order to get some, but I don't travel to 3rd world nations.
>>97668002>You would think that, but I am pretty sure at least part of the new wave of military scifi pulp novels on amazon are at least AI assisted.At least they were giving input I hope...Shit like My Vampire Index makes me wonder if the machines really have achieved their Fanfiction.net stage.
>>97667135Ace Kaller's downfall was very amusing in that his actions are entirely his fault amd he's incapable of realizing this. The people who backed him knew he was a fucking retard and went for it anyway.The TL;DR is that Ace was so mad Pardoe was writing "Red Dawn but the commies are tumblrinas" that he contacted a different CGL guy and he wanted to shoot Pardoe and burn his house down. It's not a first for him,he threatened to suicide bomb a Wal-Mart years back for shitcanning him for mishandling a sexual harassment claim. (He was informed of it and directly confronted the accused instead of running up the chain to HR)Whats amusing is that that guy was like "this is fucked" and went to CGL. Cops were jnvolved, restraining orders placed etc.Ace firmly believes he did nothing wrong and that this situation spiraling the way it did was because the other freelancer "snitched" and it's a matter of honor and loyalty that you don't say something when someone you barely know tells you on discord they are actively planning a homocide.
>>97668087>he wanted to shoot Pardoe and burn his house downFucking based. If only he could have gotten Herb and Loren as well.
>>97667108>Getting this mad over a civilized three star review with constructive criticismWew lad! You don't need to rupture your colon over someone mildly disliking your fanfic like that!
>>97668087And he keep making amazon books with a very racist nickname, and using AI bt mechs for the covers...
>>97668117>He wouldn't chain Herb up and have him write more Wobbies, Steven King Misery-styleWhat a waste.
>>97668087It wasn't "just some guy" but the "fellow" author that had advised and nurtured Ace into become a Shrapnel author. Ace ended up confiding in the guy that reading the book made him want to shoot Pardoe in the dick because of how it portrayed trannies. The guy then immediately breaks the confidence of his protege and tells Pardoe about it. Leading to everything that happened.
>>97667440I’m pretty sure it was the /r/battletech mods initially trying to keep fag shit (and political autism in general) to a minimum, but the usual crowd threw a fit, CGL started another “official” subreddit, then a mod who had been asleep for years came back, kicked the mod team and replaced them with wholesome progressive allies, then gave it it to CGL and
"I got my mech pregnant" and other tales from the periphery in today's issue of...Tales from the Periphery!
>>97668627The saddest thing about the whole thing was that, if I'm remembering right, Ace has said that Pardoe was an idol up to that point. That it was reading his stuff over the years that made him want to write for Battletech. Then he got a big case of "don't meet your heroes" and chimped out over it.
>>97668673>"I got my mech pregnant" and other tales from the periphery in today's issue of...Tales from the Periphery!Yes!

>>97668877>Ouch
>>97666876Does that include the hammer and sickle or does it only target the other extremist ideology that killed far less people?
>>97666876Are they going to kill them off?
>>97668888NO BULLY!
>>97668896Of course it doesnt include communism of any sort, else house steiner would be forbidden too.
Well, I see the Troontech supporters are in full force this thread. Are you ladies freshly dilated?
>>97668627You are forgetting that he lied to Craig the entire time he knew him and was actively pretending to be a lesbian nurse. He also got banned from MWO for cheating and liked to lie about that shit too, clsiming he was well known in the community for...sperging the fuck out, something he claimed was an endearing trait. >>97668777He's lying. He lied the entire time he knew them, lied some more and then tried to lie his retarded way out of getting in trouble for lying.Ace Kaller apologia is SO bizarre, because "he lied for years!" is usually enough.
>>97667166Sad but true. At the end of the day, Pardoe's biggest issue wasn't politics but his inability to take criticism, which is one of the most important aspects of any writing or other entertainment enterprises. You can see it in reverse with Tom Cruise. Yes, he's an insane cult member, but directors love working with him because he's agreeable and always listens to their feedback.
>>97669644>WAAAAH! muh tranny got offended and sperged out at backlash for threats of violence!No one gives a fuck, your tranny faggot can go off himself.
>>97667218>>97667164Apparently his old face looked like a male version of Katrina Steiner. He used to act as a body double for her when they were kids.
>>97667164>Did Frederick get some kind of plastic surgery when he became Focht?Teddy blew off half his face....
>>97669644I guess Craig is also a liar for claiming it was said to him in person.
>>97669989It was over discord you lying retard. I know its you robin. Please off yourself
I want to be inside the hunchback-4p doing a long opp in the burning desert badlands not showering for days and sleeping on a shitty pull out cot and wiping my swamp ass out of my standard issue mech warrior thong with baby wipes kept in the glove box that doesn’t close anymore and slams with every step of the mech.
>>97670086Who's Robin?
>>97665227Honored.
>>97670304BattleTech The Damocles Sanction has been uploaded to LogFiles.They've been releasing a bunch of Audio books on a constant basis.
As a merc, how concerned should you be if your next mission consists of escorting a lance and a half of Firestarters and Vulcans?
>>97667407> I get that once they get one in the door they’ll recruit other troons but who keeps letting the first one in?It's funny because I've seen the same thing concerning Nazis. I guess Horseshoe theory is proven right yet again.
>>97670590Whatever else you do in this situation, insist on payment first.
>>97670594I've only ever heard people say it about nazis but I've never actually seen any of my media or hobbies increasingly populated by nazis and change to pander to nazis.
>>97670594People love Nazi policies. They just hate the word Nazi. But everything we like and want to make society into, normal people just fucking love. So either get on board, or get on board the train, because we're taking over the US, and soon, the world. National Socialism is humanities future.
>>97670614Good. Keep shilling for Israel.
>>97664695>/tg/ are all paranoid spics at heartnothing new
>people are STILL rehashing Pardoe drama HALF A DECADE laterYou people anger me. And stop posting about that fucking flying boat game. Post mechs or get the fuck out.
>>97670974>And stop posting about that fucking flying boat game.But BattleTech is literally a Walking Boat Game...
>>97670974I'm convinced most of /btg/ doesn't even actually like Battletech, they're just in here to bitch and spin conspiracies
>>97670974>HALF A DECADE laterTime moves faster as you get older. If you asked me, I would have thought this was all like 2 years ago based just on my sense of time. I think it's such a major thing because Pardoe was the last of the OG stable of novel writers still around, and he was positioned for leading the spine novels like Stackpole used to. Then, just as he wrapped up the Dark Age with Hour of the Wolf, he got canned. That's a lot of momentum that had to shift and one extra reason we're probably in the current timeline hell.You all also now realize we've been in Forever 3152 for 5 fucking years. It can now join the honored ranks of Forever '67 and Forever 3145. Jesus, in the same time we went from the very beginning of the game in Battledroids to Tukayyid.
>>97668877Wonder how they felt about the card game
>>97671140those look great, what paints? looks like hive purple on the accents
>>97671140those look really goodI recently hashed out these goofy lil niggas
>>97671267That's really good for the old 6th Edition plastics. Why did you rebase them on full size bases, though?
>>97671267my local flgs put out a box of the old AS kits on the shelf. weirdo
>>97671261Nothin' too wild, Citadel paints. Purple is just Genestealer Purple, no washes or anything. The main body is The Fang, washed Drakenhof Nightshade, then drybrushed Russ Grey iirc. Friend had been flirting with BT but was hesitant to get in, and he thought Clan Mongoose sounded funny (despite being dead) so I painted some up as a gift.
>>97671275Nah man, that's an exact full set of the 2006-2014 base Battletech box plastics. They did reuse them for the AS branded stuff, but that exact selection of 24 chassis is the ones that came in the regular Battletech box. There were just a few years where they included a couple extra premium figs. I don't see that here, so that places this set as a 2006 set.
>>97671272I wanted to terrain the bases
>>97671267Lookin' good. Any particular faction ya shooting for, or just a generalized combat green?
>>97671339intent was 200% capellans because haha all green
>>97671018ENOUGH about Levs. Make a general and watch it die.
>>97671513Once it gets released, then we'll make record sheets for CBT
>>97671637So never, crawl in a hole and die.
>>97671649I'm going to post about it more, just to hopefully watch you die of apoplexy.
>>97671738Pretty based, anon. With the amount of political garbage posts in these threads that he not only tolerates, but encourages, a few boatposts here and there mean nothing. If he dies, he dies. Good riddance.
>>97671649>So neverIt's for sale at my LGS anon. Guess you're going to have to kill yourself. Rest assured, you will not be missed.
>>97671800Hawktel posts here Eh
>>97671800What LGS is that? and do they have a website for online sales?
>>97671800>>97671800>CGL breaking its promise tp backers and shipping to retail before fulfilment completes.Randall Bills is going to get asked why he lied. Again. He will clear his throat, drop his trousers and wiggle his micropenis while screaming "THE ARISTOCRATS!!!" You are never getting your stuff. CGL just fucking hates you. Sorry. Dead game.
Is this practical or just autism? Have been looking for rules to having mechs hot dropped leopard style but for poor people. I’ve had no luck finding rules but I don’t have strategic operations so that might be the problem.
>>97672037Or it could be a retailer who backed the kickstarter.
>>97672065Aristocrats Deniers like Hawktel rape children on the daily.
>>97670086>RobinWich one of the troons was Robin?
>>97672149Valk
>>97672206Ah yes, the "conservative" texan troon that cauused the Catalyst Demo Team drama. After he went to pedosky, i lost track of his ramblings...
New thread? New thread!>>97672335>>97672335>>97672335
>>97671174>I think it's such a major thing because Pardoe was the last of the OG stable of novel writers still around, and he was positioned for leading the spine novels like Stackpole used to.Yeah, but where would he have gone with it?I mean is he going anywhere with his "Definitely NOT BattleTech" knock off?>>97671637>Once it gets released, then we'll make record sheets for CBTI mean you should at least be able to proxy them as some kind of Airship in BattleTech, right?>>97672040Not sure, I think Map looked into using Tonbo's to run off with Mechs, but deploying them might be a separate thing.
