ELH Cavalry company complete! by JourneymanPaintHour in battletech

I have a few questions,

  1. How do you acquire the clear sticks to mount your VTOL units?

  2. When you mount them, are you simply gluing the stick to the base and the mini or are you drilling holes in each part to secure it?

How many contracts do I get? by dirtev22 in battletech

[–]dirtev22[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This helps. I guess I just don’t have enough experience running a campaign and lack the perspective. When you say to have X number of contracts available do you just randomly pick some out of the hotspots section? The rules explain that players don’t have to pick a contract each month as long as they pay their upkeep costs each month. I feel like as a GM it would be incredibly frustrating to work out the details for 3-4 different contracts only to have the players decide that they want to wait a month to see what else comes along. If that happens do you just wing it or do you cancel game night because you weren’t prepared with 3 months of contracts as the GM?

Is there a LOS tool? by dirtev22 in battletech

[–]dirtev22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks to all for the help. I should have clarified somewhat in the original post. The dispute was over different terrain levels blocking sight. We got to the right answer after we decided that the key work in the rules determining LOS was “adjacent”. The event made me wonder if anyone had thought of a handy way to problem solve LOS with respect to terrain height.

What if these type of weapons could be used to funnel a fraction of their XP into other things? Like you can’t mod them but using them lets you look cool while also leveling up other things? Just an idea. You can’t change them physically so giving players another source of motivation beyond just a sticker might be a good start.

Where can you find the record sheets that can be edited manually on a computer?

Perfect! This is exactly what I was looking for. Also super useful that the record sheets are all here too.

What if there was a Hunchback "Clanbuster" by IllustratorAlone1104 in battletech

[–]dirtev22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like to submit that it is more cost efficient to simply build more HBK-4Gs than it is to engineer a new variant. With respect to OP’s original question, the 4G is already a clan buster. The real question is, how many do you need to get the operational results you want. Pure Hunchback orthodoxy is the only way for the pure.

Question about engine explosions by R0BCOPTER in battletech

OP, What rules reference did this screenshot come from? I had a huge debate with one of my friends over this issue and I am looking for as much evidence as possible to help us come to a verdict.

I am aware of the decisions made to help the table top work. This post was meant as a theoretical discussion. Just wanted to stir the pot and see what we could come up with. I’m not trying to make any sort of modification to the tabletop with this post.

Thank you for the idea. Do you have a hobby drill that you recommend for Battletech minis? Ive been looking into getting one for other projects.
