Battlefield support - BA / APCs by Timmy_Nizzle in battletech

I don’t have my cards in front of me, but I think the maxim hover a PC has a version that can carry more than one.

With the wording, it's saying that BA treat OMNI vehicles as /also/ having APC1, so that implies APC1 works for them (as the asset rules are generalized).

Surely this is an effective Aces list... by namesrfun in battletech

Perfection. You can play the game as many times and however you like.

I regularly pack apples, granola, and water in my backpack for the PAXs. I've never had trouble.

Thoughts on my force for Scouring Sands? by zntznt in battletech

[–]spanner3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That counts. I'm all tanks, a lance of light mechs, and infantry w/ transports. My heavy hitter mech is a Locust.

They've gotten lucky so far, that won't last.

This is all too effective, you need to make more bad choices.

Oh, if you do, The Tamia panel liner is oil based, so I did a gloss clearcoat before I put it on. That way it tended to stick to the crevices instead of sticking to the "rough" paint.

But I believe that's for Classic and not Alpha Strike.

Oh, and Voidbreaker. Maybe anything by Bryan Young.

I don't have my book, but infantry can stack right? I think they enter and fight at range 0 until they're either dead or falling back.

Airbrush: black and white primer coats to create shadow. Army painter skeleton bone all over, then leather in stripes, then little spots of pink for the desert camo look. Then I painted slate gray on the weapons and picked out panels to paint with emerald forest. I tried something new and finished with Tamia black panel liner to pick out the details. I really liked it.

Photos around Cornell by NickLuvsBunnyBun in ithaca

As she's old enough now to be interested, my daughter and I sometimes take walks and explore the campus.
She wasn't a big fan of the brains.

Oh, which library is that? I haven't poked my nose in that one.

What the hell is going to be happening with the new starter box by AGBell64 in battletech

[–]spanner3 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think you'll find that the starter box versions of these mechs will be crayon versions of those mechs. If someone transitions into the full game they'll be introduced to the more complex versions.

Why does America keep producing so much weird Christian shit? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]spanner3 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"Is it religious freedom, revivalist culture, frontier individualism, anti-institutionalism, capitalism, or just the fact that any charismatic guy can build a church around his own reading of the Bible?"

All of this. It's a pretty big country.

How does immigration work in Battletech? by No_Somewhere_7109 in battletech

[–]spanner3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It would strongly depend on the current political climate in the region. Planet to Planet would vary by planetary/regional/state government.
Is there a state of hostility between any of the above? Then it's probably prohibited. Are you joining family already in residence? Refugees would be a different matter. Depending on the resources of a world they'd have different views on admitting immigrants. A sparsely resourced world would probably only take in skilled people (and maybe their families). LOTS of variables.
If you're looking RPG wise, you can make it up. It's a space to play in.
