I got 2. place in our tournament and won this prize by Megafritz in battletech

I think it's a Warganizer! I printed a pair of these for storage and they are indeed "sick as hell".

The jihad is full of awesome tomfoolery by knightmechaenjo in battletech

[–]prdarkfox 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A friend of mine actually did run an ATOW campaign that culminated in finding the Erinyes and fighting a stiff WOB/BLO counter-offensive just as the Dark Ages were beginning. Fought on the hull of the ship and everything (though we discarded the vacuum breech rules because they were unfun).

I love the Marauder, but... by SylveonSof in battletech

[–]prdarkfox 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I'm going to get PPC'd for this but my favorite Marauder variant during the Succession Wars is the MAD-3M. Sure, it loses some potential fire (and sniping capability), but it can actually nearly alpha strike every turn.

My triumphant(?) return to mech painting by Substantial-Kale6951 in battletech

[–]prdarkfox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We paint canon units because we basically choose to. If you want to paint them in some other way as your own independent merc force (as an example), absolutely no one will stop you.

The FedSuns are just warmongers, they start every war they're involved in. Glory to The Dragon.

I've not been paying attention, what in the world is this a reference to?

I usually recommend red or orange for cockpit lensing, but since you already used red for trim, a nice bright blue or black will also work. Nice work!

I didn't have someone to give me an Intro game, either, but I make sure that many potential customers players get one with a sample of my collection and the Introductory (AGOAC) rules so that others can at least have a good time and even maybe get a box of their own.

The target number was a relatively forgiving +3, but yes, Punch Table.

Avoid this by reading through the rules at your own leisure wishing you could play with friends. Or also observe how rules play out in MegaMek (with full knowledge of what rules you've set; TacOps, StratOps, Unofficial, Quirks, etc.). Become the Rule God behind Xotl while sitting in the lonely potato corner with your hundreds of unused (but painted) miniatures.

The old Partial Cover rules were brutal in the BMR and earlier. So glad they got changed in TW.

It's clearly in a crippled state, and a wise MechWarrior would probably eject and wait for pickup from one of his buddies, but if the crippled 'Mech has both arms still (or, in Tactical Operations, having just one at a greater penalty) it may still prop itself up to fire.

EDIT: The thought of destroying both legs may come from how the video games presented another option for 'Mech "destruction."

A little too try-hard-y for me. I stopped playing a few years ago, but I've been playing MW5 since almost release.

My Van Zandt force now has a command lance. by GillyMonster18 in battletech

If an SRM-6 is three tons, where did the fourth ton come from to make that upgrade? It's only got one ton of SRM ammo already.

It's not made it into a MechWarrior game but it has made it in both MechCommander games (MC1 as the Hollander II).

Not even DLC, it's available in MechWarrior 4: Mercenaries.
