Challenges and Gatherings / BattleForce California Mid-Valley Turlock area
« Last post by Zematus737 on Today at 16:16:51 »
Throwing this out to see if there are any Battletech players near my area interested in learning the different scales to play, eventually, a Succession Wars campaign.  That would be the end goal.  To start we will be gaining our sea legs with Planetary Assault Map invasions and using the Battleforce map layered in 2 sheets, 4 sheets and, finally what will represent a comparable SBF scale map, 6 sheets.

What is needed:
A general understanding of Battleforce and Battletech or AlphaStrike.
The only game manual recommended to have for review and referencing: IO:Battleforce
If you don't have the Battletech Battleforce Counters Pack you can buy a 20pack of bottled beer and save the caps.  The caps can be used as Commands and Units.
Review my post link below and download the Player Aids if you feel they are helpful.  Print out the tables and sheets at the back of the IO:BF book as well.

If you desire to form your own armies and fill out your own sheets, find several helpful eras at the following Google drive: www.tinyurl.com/zematusbf

I look forward to hearing from any of you and will open a Discord if this gains enough traction to become regular.

Ask the Lead Developers / 4x Game based on battletech
« Last post by Garagegamer on Today at 16:11:52 »
Hey me and a ton of other people were wondering 🤔 if a 4x game for Battletech was on the agenda? Which studio would you consider to make it? Would it be real time or turn based? Would the game span the colossal amount of hostory?

Fan Designs and Rules / Re: Is it time for an Underwater Rules Overhaul (?)
« Last post by Zematus737 on Today at 15:54:33 »
Have you looked at the expanded Underwater rules found in TO pg193?  It's not much, but there isn't much you can do down there either.  It's too expensive to build down there and things are too vulnerable to the damage sustained.  You're better off going up to space rather than down there.

General BattleTech Discussion / Re: If you could get pre-painted BattleTech figures, would you?
« Last post by Swankmotron on Today at 15:47:32 »
Yes. I would prefer it personally. I'm starting to enjoy painting minis, but I'd rather not.

Leaving it open that long could easily create issues with shipping.

The problem is that an Inner Sphere Gauss Rifle is 15 tons before ammo.  That's an awful lot to devote to a secondary weapon.

Physical product issue resolved by submitting claim. Refund issued by my CC company.

Digital product issue resolved via direct email to TPTB (as suggested on CGL Discord).

I'm sad to say that I will no longer be purchasing CGL products.

Physical item purchase from CGL store on 21 January not fulfilled.

Emailed customer service 3 March. Received auto-response, "We received your email request and it's gone into our automated system. We will respond as quickly as possible (though, admittedly, as we try to get caught up there will be a delay, for which we apologize sincerely). Thank you for understanding the delay."

No further contact.


Emailed customer service regarding new issue with digital product on 28 March. No response whatsoever.

I see no reason to encourage underwater play...
It's in the game, ain't it? By trying to avoid this conflict, the Clans might call you a coward.
