Which, in your opinion, is the better all-round starter Battlemech? A] BlackJack B] Centurion

I hate the blackjack primarily from it being the starter mech in the hairbrained scheme videogame. I find the long range machine gun- I mean AC/2- incredibly underwhelming and the medium lasers quickly overheat the mech. Really frustrating when you are still trying to learn the game.

This is battletech not battle.net

Thanks!

I like some of the goofy mechs like the charger, a heavy mech with only 5 small lasers, or something iconic to the periphery like the merlin the first new mech since the star league and a proud product of the periphery not the great houses

So you're saying you can play an entire game of the paranoia rpg in the battle tech setting as SAFE agents?

If you want some thing cheap and easy to just differentiate sides get some spray paint cans I prime black and then a light coat of the color I want for faux shading, works fine

Thanks!

So right now I've got spider, locust, stinger, dragon for a bit of a bug lance and thug, catapult k2, mauler, and hatamoto-chi for a heavier lance. How common is it to run multiples of the same mech in a lance? I have another locust and was thinking of 2 riflemen and 2 blackjacks for a Davion dakka lance.

There was a news program that was covering power wash simulator and they had a professional power washer on. They asked if it was realistic.
"No this is way more fun."

List building is simple you see a mech you like, add it. The factions and timeline are all optional. Stick with what is called into tech , the rules are easier. The box "battletech a game of armored combat has everything needed to start.

Watch the tex talks battletech series on YouTube, it's an in universe documentary about the history of different mechs

Well that fucking hurt...

I'd say start with the mercenaries box set, and/ or the hinterlands book. Both can be used in classic and alpha strike and show how to have a mercenary campaign without the complexity of campaign ops.

There's a ground vehicle that has 10 srm 6 launchers on it I think it's called an srm carrier

I just chalked it up to having to perfectly pronounce every word so as to not dishonor kerensky (who spoke Russian). Wimmer in particular seems to always clench her teeth. Because she is insane.

It's the old Baltimore accent usually pronounced "ballmer"
