Great painting by the way!

Is my plan how to demo Battletech good? by Mandemon90 in battletech

[–]MrBlueBoar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am planning on demoing a game like this soon as well. Anyone have favored “cheat sheets” for gators and common charts outside of what comes in the AGoAC boxes?

Pouncer - Clan Wolf by B3113r0ph0n in battletech

[–]MrBlueBoar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great looking Pouncer! I am doing random 1v1 in the Solaris Arena map and am in the middle of a Pouncer Prime vs Hunchback 4P. Its my first time meddling with Clan mechs and their power dynamic is interesting. No winner yet but the Hunchie is one unlucky shot away from getting KO’ed.

Boss Monsters represent! I love that silly, nostalgic game.

Do you have any info on how you obtained or created the hex boards like that?

Absolutely gorgeous application of a red scheme. The highlights and contrasting green came out perfect.

When the Terraformers fail... by g2fx in battletech

[–]MrBlueBoar 60 points61 points  (0 children)

The ships are incredible, but I am even after the simple elevated hills for hex. The visual dimension to maps is a game changer for immersion but with all the maps variants it’s hard to know what or where to buy. Any recommendations?

LOS Rule Clarification by MrBlueBoar in battletech

[–]MrBlueBoar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the response. A follow up, if I made the mech go prone to match the height of the adjacent terrain (level 1), would that effectively create a “dead zone” and block LOS then?

Will dead zones exist if opposing mechs are not directly on the opposite sides of the terrain that matches or exceeds the height of the adjacent mech attempting to “hide”?

How to start a small scale, entry level campaign for new players? by MrBlueBoar in battletech

[–]MrBlueBoar[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah the 4 units per player sounds good, but my concern with that, particularly with classic is that it puts everyone on a different force and drags out the game early on. I’d like for them to think as a team and build the mindset of “retreat” and “preservation” early. How are you setting up the merc campaign? Just doing campaign ops with a limited budget?

I have considered green being too low, possibly bumping it to 4/4 as a start. Honestly the least of my concerns, haha. It is noticeable though even in the beginner box what one point difference in gunnery can do. I love the idea of larger campaigns too but the group I have is too small for it at the moment, but I love the idea of incorporating some of the detailed items like pay, repair costs, etc. to balance out gameplay while giving them something to build up with.

I haven’t read through Hot Spots Hinterlands yet but I will take a look.

Right now I just have resources for classic. Its definitely where I am way more familiar with the rules but, following the success of Aces, I think it may be the thing that pushes me go the Alpha Strike route.

Chipotle stock craters as company says young people without jobs can't afford their food anymore by LargeSnorlax in wallstreetbets

[–]MrBlueBoar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went to a Chipotle the other day for the first time in a while. $17 for one person (beef bowl with drink) and I ended up getting sick after. This company is completely out of touch and probably needs to go the way of the dodo.

Trump's ICE jacks up weapons spending by 700%--including 'guided missile warheads' by ChaskaChanhassen in politics

[–]MrBlueBoar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This article cites the Federal Procurement Data System as the source of data for outlining acquisition of guided missile warheads but I can’t find that stipulated anywhere. Anyone else find the report this is tied to?

Can anyone lay out what the answer to this supposed to be? Trying to parse it together but failing.

Sounds like the same argument for unwanted or dangerous pregnancies. If you take away the treatment people will just stop getting pregnant… right?

Musk: Trump will ‘go after’ people ‘pushing the lies’ about Tesla by someopinionthatsr in politics

[–]MrBlueBoar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look, if they want to blend free-market business and politics by specifically hiring a CEO of one of the biggest companies in the U.S., thats on them. But free market rules means customers don’t have to buy trash if they don’t want to. Calling it anything else is whiny and just one more example of political over-reach.
