This is when Alpha Strike really shines!
« on: 13 April 2017, 14:18:26 »
So a few friends of mine have been playing Alpha Strike about once a week for the last month  and I just wanted to share a few pictures
We had the Grey Death Legion VS the Red Lancers. It was a battalion on battalion battle. This is what Alpha Strike to me was designed to due. Felt like a battle right out of the novels.
I may have a low amount of posts but I have a PHD in Battletech and mechs older then most people on this board!

that's awesome.

actually, that's more than just awseome: that's awesome enough for looker peepers in a FLGS to go "hey what are you guys playing, and how do I get involved?" in a way that I fear CBT never will anymore with modern wargaming tastes.

That is the way we try to make it, we would like people to take a look and try it out. I just wish we had product to help move the sales of Alpha Strike. The lance packs were a step in the right direction but we are not there yet. We had 40 mechs a side, and after 3 hours of play about 31 mechs total went down. We even had a brand new player that was an old battletech hand, that said it was more like the fluff then battletech ever was.

Looking really good!
"That's Lieutenant Faceplant to you, Corporal!"

Things that I have learnt through clicking too fast on 'Move Done' on MegaMek: Double-check the CF of the building before jumping onto it, check artillery arrival times before standing in the neighbouring hex, and don't run across your own minefield.

"Hmm, I wonder if I can turn this into a MM map."

That's a mighty fine battlefield you've got there. It would be a shame if some Draconis Combine warlord dropped a nuke on it. LOL
