Battletech

And I need more!

Starslayer, Chameleon, Rifleman and Dervish

Is this some kind of 40k crossover?

Back row: Orion, Banshee, Atlas, Stalker and Crockett. Front row: Helios, Caesar, Jagermech, Cataphract, Flashman, Falconer and Lancelot.

While MechWarrior 5: Clans has given us the narrative experience that fans have been craving for decades, Mercenaries has quietly continued to be the best way to explore the Inner Sphere. Originally a sandbox that leveraged procedurally-generated systems to ensure a fresh experience with every drop, expansion after expansion has repeatedly added the missing story elements that players needed to situate themselves in the BattleTech timeline.

And with Shadow of Kerensky around the corner, BattleTech fans are finally going to experience a keystone event: the Clan Invasion. To get the inside scoop on what went into making Shadow of Kerensky, and to get a brief recap on how things went with MW5: Clans‘ latest DLC, I reached out to Narrative Director Chris Lowrey. [...]

So CGL is looking to make some changes to the core rules and are doing a public play test. Not sure how I feel about this first round of proposals just yet.

I will not be taking questions

We played a game to brush up on the rules. 6000BV trying to stay in ca. 3025-3049.

He did not have time to prepare so went with four shooters-8A (all proxies) I went Battlemaster-1Gb, Black Knight-6b-KNT, Catapult-1C and my one stray into clan era with a Wraith-1.

Thanks to some seriously unlucky dice all four of his mech fell down thanks to one getting two crits in CT, two taking >20 damage and one missed kick. All failed pilot checks...

Never seen that before. Edit: we did play fast and loose since we were relearning rules and the LGS was closing soon.
