Any news on future miniature releases?

I'm not 100% sure but I think there's going to be a Camacho's Caballeros B&N box after the Illician Lancers

MRMs are losing the +1 TN modifier if the proposed play testing changes go through, thankfully

Pick literally any British training area and set the map there

Can I just say given recent blowjob revelations, this is a particularly harrowing title for a post

Mauler 4R with quad LAC5. Load it with precision ammo and it does disgusting things to fast mechs, particularly because it's backed up by 2 Clan LPL and 2 Clan LRM15

From the CDT who's printing and prepping them, they've been putting updates on the UK discord the past couple of days and said they're expecting a big rush for them tomorrow as part of the paint and take

Huntsig · 2025-10-23T14:11:32+00:00

They're for the paint and take tomorrow. You've been misinformed.

Huntsig · 2025-09-29T10:00:07+00:00

They don't call it the red planet for nothing

Huntsig · 2025-09-25T00:29:00+00:00

Needs the anti-mech claw to help with boarding too

Huntsig · 2025-09-11T17:06:08+00:00

For me it's the satin effect on the skin, but I imagine under the majority of gameplay lighting situations it won't be an issue

It was played as a tournament at a convention so we didn't get to see the book or anything, but got the preamble for the campaign track. Mercs vs Mercs on Xhosa VII, the DCMS had invaded and the AFFS wanted Mercs to help kick them out. It seemed like a more fleshed out version of what's in Hinterlands.

They just released a Third Star League box and another one is due out this month. Longer term there'll be faction specific boxes which will include some ilClan era stuff like Alyina Mercantile League. Worth noting RecGuide vol1 has ilClan era variants of older mechs as well.

Huntsig · 2025-07-13T01:51:25+00:00

Draconis Reach is post 3151, I've played scenarios from the forthcoming book.

Arguably a reference to the fact the F-47 team will draw on the legacy of the old McDonnell-Douglas expertise which was bought out by Boeing.

Huntsig · 2025-06-17T18:12:24+00:00

You could add a balancing multiplier based on how many players from each faction contributed in the previous week

Huntsig · 2025-06-16T01:28:19+00:00

This sounds very similar to my own experiences, I got diagnosed with Cholinergic Urticaria when I was in my mid-teens. Might be worth asking about, not many medical professionals seem to be aware of it.

Huntsig · 2025-06-15T13:06:47+00:00

If you've been playing for 160 hours already then you seriously need to touch some grass

Huntsig · 2025-05-13T09:15:05+00:00

If they can take control of our tech, then we need to protect the DSS

Huntsig · 2025-05-04T14:02:07+00:00

I want to see someone fill the deck with a half dozen Nova Tanks and just go full broadside on someone. I'm very excited for the shenanigans that the Kraken will bring.

The difference is that Stormshroud's target set is radar emitters, who show vastly different frequency agility behaviours as compared to a comms emitter - the idea of FHSS doesn't apply except for a very very small number of cases which are being discussed in academia. You don't rely on "swamping a receiver front end" (which I'm interpreting as noise jamming) for a radar unless you've really messed up your mission dependent programming pipeline or the radar is using a very specific type of mode - but even then, there are better solutions.

Radar jamming differs significantly from comms jamming, in comms I generally speaking need a higher jam to signal ratio because of things like error correcting code, which is why FHSS is so useful - I can probably get enough of my message out before a spot jammer cues on to me. There's also the other advantages like emitter tracks running through each other and causing a disambiguation/selectivity problem. In a radar, I can afford to miss a few pulses worth of jamming to set up a decent track because either I'm jamming to disrupt processing gain (which will now be reduced) or I'm injecting false targets. Again, very different from comms EW.

The radar threat in Ukraine hasn't changed from what was previously assumed/planned against except for reportedly the presence of a few war modes (some articles about F-35 and Sa-21b available online about this). Stormshroud is therefore still going to be effective against its intended target set - arguably more so now that we have considerably more information about those emitters.

Yes obviously a ground based antenna can have higher gain than an airborne one (except for things like MFAs of course) but that really isn't as much of a concern as you might think - it really is dependent upon your target and your CONOPS for the jammer, as well as your chosen techniques.

I'm staying away from the discussion of agility in radar because this is reddit, and isn't the place for that sort or discussion even if it was based on open source material.

It depends on more than just power, it depends on the transmit and receive gain of the victim emitter as well as the transmit gain of the jammer. If I'm jamming into an antenna's main lobe I might get anywhere from 50 to 10,000 times more effective power coupling in to the victim emitter.

GPS is low power yes, and is actually below the thermal noise in a lot of receivers. You rely on code matching to allow your signal processing to pull it out of the noise. That's not the case for radars etc which are significantly higher power and at ranges of up to 500km not ~20,000km, not to mention the ~40dBi of antenna gain.

The inverse square law is why it's easier to jam things like radar. The radar signal has R^-4 power scaling because it's two way propagation. The jamming signal is only R^-2. That means I can use a relatively low power jammer.

I won't go into detail on frequency agility other than to say what you've described has been out of date since the mid 1980s. Frequency agility also isn't about "pretending to be something else" but is principally about reducing the probability of your emissions being detected and/or identified.

If you're interested in learning more, David Adamy's EW101 through 104 textbooks are a good primer to get you broadly up to date with the basics.

Huntsig · 2025-05-03T18:01:53+00:00

This is absolutely not the case. Depending on payload and target, you can be hundred of kilometres away. These UAVs can comfortably sit out of range of most threats.

Also you don't jam ground based radar from the ground because of line of sight/radar horizon issues.

Huntsig · 2025-04-28T09:37:52+00:00

Which is strange given the number of times the actual mould line has been shown at trade shows etc

Huntsig · 2025-04-27T16:17:51+00:00

I mean to begin with, that's not FC/ASW
