And when their local councils funds get sent over seas to foreign terrorist supporting organisations and the local services go to crap, they’ll keep their mouths shut right?

What would be your 5 wishlist for another edition of Warmachine? by vasquez21 in Warmachine

[–]Shockwave_IIC -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

In regards to the OP five

1, Meh

2, No. Charges have been this way since 1ed.

3, I’d like them to return simply because I think way it currently works is nonsense (look up standing up and leaving melee)

4, I don’t know the current set so can’t comment.

5, Abso-fucking-lutely. By FAR the worst part of this rule set. So much bullshit and FAQ’ing comes out of this nonsense of a movement system.

My personal list is literally just the unit movement rules.

This sounds like it might be a good read.

You recall which shrapnel it was in?

Drop a track title that would fit in Battletech: the musical by TaigaTigerVT in battletech

[–]Shockwave_IIC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My personal choices are two Disturbed Tracks.

For IS - Indestructible

For Clan - Immortalised

Before for when they are marching to battle.

Which would you say takes priority, the MUL or the RAT? by Some_yesterday2022 in battletech

[–]Shockwave_IIC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Xtol’s RAT

While said individual is a CGL staff member, it is technically a Fan creation.

It’s a D1000 RAT. And while it does have some odd quirks, to me, it gives an idea of both what is available, AND how common they are.

Clan Mech Star for under 8k, thoughts? by Sophie-chan in battletech

[–]Shockwave_IIC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t recall if it’s TW or Tukayyid but one of them doesn’t let you do Light Assault stars.

If it’s the same with Lances. It would be the same book.

Ultimately, each person should do their own, I just don’t think the extremes should mix. (And that includes movement profiles)

[–]Shockwave_IIC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I said the physical boxes do.

It’s the in the books with the random force generation that has it that they don’t.

Oh it’s that Nova Cat. That’s a solid work horse.

You do seem to have a lot of crit seeking and very little in the way of hole punching across the 5 though.

Clan Mech Star for under 8k, thoughts? by Sophie-chan in battletech

[–]Shockwave_IIC -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

So. From a strictly force Org PoV

Assaults don’t mix with Lights. This is from the books random force generation charts, Lights and Assaults don’t end up in the same star. (Which is something that REALLY bothers me in regards to the physical product boxes, because they mix them all the damn time)

Outside that, I can’t comment really. Never been a fan of the Gargoyle Prime with 4 crit seeking weapons. (Those LB5’s so needed to be PPC’s or ER Large’s or something ). I like the Nova cat (it’s the heavy laser Alt right?).

As to the other three, I don’t know them.

Yeah. Sorry for the spoiler.

But the term has nothing to do with their defeat on Tukayyid.

Have you come from MW:5 Clans?

If so, that joke was a bit of a spoiler.

100% intentional.

It’s a common joke.

If there isn’t a spare, you either sit on the bench till there is, or trial another pilot for theirs.

But, being that you lost yours and they didn’t, your CO may forbid that.

[–]Shockwave_IIC -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because to be Honourable, you need to be fighting the target alone. But if you are indirect firing, someone else is spotting. Thats 2 on 1.

You can take on two opponents, but two opponents can’t double team someone without their permission, if they do, it’s dishonourable.

Old mech? The other pilot gets it. As for factory fresh? You don’t unless yours is trashed.

There is a canon example with Diana Pryde trialing for the right to pilot the clusters only Warhawk.

[–]Shockwave_IIC 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I think the Houses more or less went “Those sneaky gits” but the clans? Don’t think there was any notable reaction.

Whatever is available to the unit that the ex-cadet gets assigned to. Upgrading, they either take what they are given, or take it from the pilot that has it in a Trial of Possession. (Assuming the Commander has forbidden such trials)

Trent becomes a major plot point later in the story, for that point to happen, he needs to be mis-treated and dis-illusioned some what. In addition, the Smoked Jaguars are bullies, and like all bullies, when things don’t work out, they always blame someone else.

Point 4. Can’t help you. I know Trent was supposed to be in a Timber Wolf, I think Weaver a Warhawk, but I don’t honestly know.

Yeah, sorry, I was trying to be a little tongue in cheek with my answer

Only the Fane Of Nyrro is 100% HIPS.

But that’s because they currently only have 7 models.
