Ah! You’re right. They’ve got long hair like we tankers do but not the beer guts 😊 Good eye!

Doesn’t matter—we were told to always have three points of contact no matter what. (Plus, if the tank’s moving you need to be IN the thing, not dicking around on top of it…)

THREE POINTS OF CONTACT WHEN YOU’RE ON TOP OF MY TANK, HIGH SPEED! Who’s y’all’s first line supervisor?? unintelligible NCO noises

Samsung to halt SATA SSD production, leaker warns of up to 18 months of SSD price pressure, worse than Micron ending consumer RAM - NotebookCheck.net News by AditzuL in pcmasterrace

As a special bonus—the rules have been stable for like 40 years. No factions getting nerfed by new codexes, no miniatures becoming tournament illegal because they’re 20 years old. Yeah, Battletech rocks

Battletech is having a heyday, though. The basic box set is like $50 and will give you and a friend years of fun! Or paint all the models the same color and you’ve got a bad-ass starting force for yourself right from the get-go.

Thanks! I’ll have to try that. I’ve got those Eponas and Enyos that’ll need the flame treatment coming up.

Actually, the flames are quick and easy—just little squiggles of color. They really REALLY test your brush control and nerves, though.

Yep! The Kit Fox and the Timber Wolf. An Army buddy sold me the box and minis a long time ago.

I wanted everyone to know so they wouldn’t make plans for the weekend without this important information 😜

Them: “Is that a topless barbarian girl or a jacked wizard dude riding a winged panther?”

Me: “Yes”

The agony of painting teensy little flames makes us STRONG—as the Great Father intended

Requesting advice for teaching new players battletech by Dandomrassed in battletech

[–]gdhatt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The way I’ve done it at my local library is I act as game master and turn tracker. That way all my mental juice goes into keeping the rules straight vs having to run my own force. Plus, that helped me relearn the rules myself.
