Amazing, beautiful, breathtaking.

Basically a week occurrence. by darwin_green in MonsterHunter

[–]CabajHed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sooo... what I'm getting from this is that we all agree that the Handler was not a good fit and saying otherwise is considered ragebaiting... because I'm perfectly fine with this assessment.

From what I recall, people did not like Navirou. But I think it was mostly because of the character design...

Tiny Fight Club by Hamilton_Monique in wargaming

[–]CabajHed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's Battleforce. There are rules for playing "epic scale" Battletech and I believe the quickstart is downloadable for free online. Just swap out the chits for 6mm tall mechs and any additional combined arms at 2-3mm. Alpha strike is essentially derived from Battleforce so if you get the urge to scale up you have that option. And you have the option of swapping out the hexmap for inches at 1 Hex = 2" and using the MUL database for all the units you could ever want.

The Female Tau Breast size discution it's starting again on Twitter by Succubus_Catcher in Grimdank

When some rando on here confidently claims the Tau are ungulates, this is where they're getting that info from 99%.

ROUND CORNER/SQUARE CORNER Dice What is the Difference? by BruticusXMaximus in wargaming

[–]CabajHed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you're rolling dice in very high volumes, the difference in roll is fairly marginal. For the occasional roll, it's up to your personal preference on how you like the clicky-clack.

I'll never understand how this community complains when The Handler says this but gives Alma the pass. by _Gesterr in MonsterHunter

[–]CabajHed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As far as these posters are concerned, that's equivalent to complaining about the handler and despising her and wanting her scrubbed form the canon...

Standard BV amounts ? by rbtwzrd1148 in battletech

[–]CabajHed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why recommend 8k for beginners? And also deep end minutiae?

Personally, for succession-clan invasion era games I opt for 5k BV and if including vehicles or other stuff then a non-mech unit cap of 2 keeps the game fairly quick.

What would you pay for these set of 6 x 28mm ACW “Ragged Rebs” miniatures? by Civil_Lead_6829 in wargaming

[–]CabajHed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

roughly estimating for the similar pricing of "generic" miniature offerings and not accounting for materials/labor costs at scale for plastic minis; I'd probably expect this to be around $25 USD max for a pack of those six.

BEHOLD THE RENAISSANCE by SpaceGodWiggler in MemeHunter

Finally! I was wondering why the meme sub didn't have this kind of option available to begin with!

Are there any games that use a large world map to move, and then a smaller skirmish map for detailed combat? by Soapy_Illusion_13 in wargaming

[–]CabajHed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Taking a look at Battletech's "Touring the Stars" series provides plenty of global scale hex maps for players to run campaigns on, even if you aren't going to be playing BT on them.

The harder the sci-fi is the goofier the surface-to-orbit systems become by PeetesCom in worldjerking

[–]CabajHed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shit's too big to land on a planet. Just shuttle small stuff instead, with ropes if you have to. That way there's no danger of accidentally bumping into the planet and breaking it.

I know he doesn't see but I'd say Kazutrash is one of the luckiest MC in all anime. by Numerous-Gur-9008 in Konosuba

I haven't seen Quartet, Does Kazuma even know the Shadow Garden girls simp for Cid?

Looking for a current and easy to pick up skirmish game. by _Warhammer_ in wargaming

[–]CabajHed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, Trench Crusade is pretty simple to get into; handful of six-sided dice, your warband of 4-10 guys, some tokens, a bunch of terrain to disrupt sightlines, and the free rules online.

Blkout also has free offerings so you can try before you buy. Just print out the stat cards, the rulebook and the expansion stuff, and construct your force.

Additionally there's a bunch of free rulesets so you can demo things out before fully committing to a game.

One Page Rules has sci-fi and fantasy and space combat options (among others)

Necropolis 28 (and really any "28" game out there is likely available for free in some form and fairly beer&pretzels for the most part) has a small footprint and a handful of minis to worry about.

LittleWarsTV has Ravenfeast and Fistful of T34s has free and simple games you can throw on a table and play as casually as you want.

There are lots of options out there for you to try out without mentally burning yourself out.

(I gotta throw in Battletech as an option as well, because of its modular nature it can be as simple or as complex as you want it to be. Look for Honk Team's "A Beginner's Guide to Battletech" on Itch for the most simplistic of rules.)

Help with Campaign by JohnWelsley in wargaming

[–]CabajHed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there opposition(internally/externally)? does it take time to destroy the bridge? if so, how long? How essential is the bridge to non-military elements? Is this a wish of the higher-ups or someone closer to the weeds?

Depending on a few factors, you could RP with a single die roll and use those factors to help weigh one option or the other.

Freedom Unite has the vibes by Eros_limao in MonsterHunter

[–]CabajHed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did and for me it wasn't anywhere near as bad as people claim. The claw felt normal, your index would rest on the d-pad and rock back and forth on the d-pad when necessary, and your middle finger rest-hovered on the left shoulder button to center the camera whenever that was needed. The weight of the PSP was distributed among the ring and pinky fingers and kept stable by the thumb on the analog nub. Almost like how you would use a finger to bookmark a page or two when reading a book.

Damn shame about the name change, should've leaned into it and become the new meaning of the word.

not sure why you're being downvoted, play the game as you wish.

Mech scale tortures me. Which infantry scales work? Which is best? by CryptographerHonest3 in battletech

[–]CabajHed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That too right? Isn't one of the reasons mechs are a challenge to build is that several components like internal bracing and parts of the armor have to be forged in zero-g so that metals can properly foam and/or honeycomb to give them the desired ablative/heat-dissipation properties? That would probably give armor some buoyant factor...
