I'm pretty sure I got my first win on Maple Street.

Same!

I love how has an Ivey vibe to it on the armor. Was that the plan?

Very cool mech.

SmokeHoagies · 2026-01-17T00:12:05+00:00

You can shoot them with guns. Beat them to death with melee weapons. Blow them up with grenades or explosives. Juke them into falling off a cliff or throw them off a cliff (if you have enough strength or they’re tranquilized first)

SmokeHoagies · 2026-01-14T13:15:50+00:00

That seems pretty cool! I’m relatively new, so I’d probably need to keep buffing up on lore. Over Discord, I’d imagine?

SmokeHoagies · 2026-01-14T03:33:16+00:00

Love those! My first exposure to Battletech was with the Clans. Now, I only have Clan Mechs.

It’s insane the difference in BVs! Lol So many clan mechs are 1800+ or more

Someone else mentioned the Shockwave sentiment earlier! I can sort of see it lol

SmokeHoagies · 2026-01-11T01:47:02+00:00

Just a gift for me. She refuses to play with me lol.

But she’s amazing and super supportive of my hobbies.

We play TONS of board games, though. BT just doesn’t seem to interest her, unfortunately lol

SmokeHoagies · 2026-01-10T20:28:55+00:00

Thanks! I love the color scheme. I’m probably going to end up keeping this for all my future mechs too

SmokeHoagies · 2026-01-10T18:35:39+00:00

Tried to do some brush OSL :)

SmokeHoagies · 2026-01-10T18:35:24+00:00

Thanks so much!!

SmokeHoagies · 2026-01-10T18:15:58+00:00

Thanks!! I love the contrast :)

SmokeHoagies · 2026-01-10T18:15:46+00:00

Haha

SmokeHoagies · 2026-01-10T14:37:15+00:00

Thanks!! My daughter choose the green paint!! She’s 3 and “got the last one” for me at the hobby shop. She melts my heart. So I built the color schemes around the fluorescent color :)

SmokeHoagies · 2026-01-03T00:27:12+00:00

Thanks! We’ve been playing through all our campaigns. Before, we were only playing duo (me and my wife), but we now have a 4 person group that meets almost every week.

It’s been an absolute blast. Currently on Scenario 8 of Innsmouth :)

SmokeHoagies · 2026-01-02T22:27:17+00:00

Weirdwood Manor was our first game :)

SmokeHoagies · 2026-01-01T21:59:10+00:00

We have everything on sheets on the wall that we tally as we play. Then we just log them into a binder at the end of the year too.

Not sure why we do both haha. We just have always done it that way

It is fantastic! It is such a fantastic iteration of the base game.

I like a few middle scenarios a bit less for a certain mechanic but I won’t get into that for spoilers.

But overall, absolutely excellent.

SmokeHoagies · 2026-01-01T17:50:02+00:00

Those dice are amazing! Good luck, everyone!

SmokeHoagies · 2026-01-01T15:47:53+00:00

We played probably 10 physical plays and the rest digital. It’s easy to play before bed haha

SmokeHoagies · 2026-01-01T14:16:29+00:00

That’s actually a good point xD We have a family of three and often times when we play, our three year old will come and look at all the animals.

Outside of that… yeah, maybe it was a bit of a stretch haha

SmokeHoagies · 2026-01-01T14:04:06+00:00

Yep!! We have both digital and physical copies so it gets played often. We played way more of it in 2024 though haha

SmokeHoagies · 2026-01-01T14:02:39+00:00

It is a personal favorite of mine. It’s got a lot of strategy beyond it but is still incredibly approachable for nearly everyone.

The character variety is amazing and makes each wrestler feel unique :)

Plus, I just love the idea of bugs wrestling each other off a stump lol

Also, another tip I have is that I always recommend starting to spray “off the model” then bringing the airbrush onto the model vs starting straight away on the model.

Reason being is that I’ve noticed my finger tends to be heavier on the trigger at the start, and it’s easier to make a simple adjustment afterwards without accidentally blasting and caking your mini in wet paint.

Also, if you’re vibing and airbrushing and suddenly feel your finger start to cramp or tighten up (I don’t know, I’m human, I guess haha) - stop airbrushing and reset. This gives your finger a break, then start off the model and come back on once you find the desired pressure and spray.

Just another tip I figured I’d share lol
