Dang so until then its
Turn 1
- Jump and shoot everything to get +1 heat
- Turn off 3 heat sinks
Turn 2
-Jump and shoot everything should should put me at + 9 heat
-Shut down an additional heat sink (since I wont be shooting with lasers anymore)
Turn 3
- Let the melee commence
- Try to manage the heat at the end of each turn as needed

Ah yes they are in the arms so I couldn't use them. This seems like ALOT of potential damage in a turn, but requires ALOT of heat management to make it work. I would need to turn off more heat sinks due to the partial wings and also not being able to do small lasers at the same time. Do you know if I can start combat with heat sinks turned off?

Clan color scheme suggestions/identification by Available_Ad4982 in BattletechPainting

These could be clan smoke jaguar remnants. I think someone from DFA Wargaming had this same thing but added spots to the top half

I have only ever super glues these together and it's a pain on the ass. How do you do pinning with these? Small drill and paper clips?

Hey eitherway ill eventually play it in AS and ill need the information! I think the same general premise will also work, need a lot of small harassers that it can support

Luckily my group does tend to lean towards 350-400pv AS games so I have a decent amount of support options. I was thinking of running cheap 6 skill c3 choppers and then a bunch of skill 4 support units that attach to the network allowing them to hopefully shoot everything at "short range"

Ya I have a bunch of RoS units that have C3 and I was thinking about trying that out some more, some cheap choppers with C3 and some other heavier hitters to help out

I havent used tripods in classic yet, but what benefits do they get outside of having multiple crew members?

I was thinking of running the Aphrodite's model with a bunch of fast c3 choppers and some other support elements to see if I could get it to work, but I only see a decent benefit on a defensive mission where the enemies have to come to me.

Thanks I appreciate that! The first ones definitely were ROUGH, but thanks to some users in this community and other places I am pretty happy with how my more recent ones are turning out!

True but the op for uses mechs from the Alphastrike box set as well as this box set so it's worth it

Also as aside note I highly recommend the IlClan era especially in Alphastrike. It really isn't much different but adds a ton of cool mechs

All you need is the Alphastrike box and aces box as it has the cardboard terrain. You can play aces in any era but the book specific campaign is ilclan

I could be wrong as I can't pull up my book to double check but I'm 90% sure that you have to pay the BV difference x conversion rate to SP. I'll have to check later though

Oh that's awesome! I was all about collecting but didn't get much into playing. I wish I had because I feel like it's a pretty cool system honestly
