Challenges and Gatherings / Any presence at Origins 2024?

« Last post by eMouse on Today at 10:11:25 »

Looking at the current posted schedule, there are lots of Shadowrun events, but nothing listed as being Battletech events. It looks like the demo team might just be focused on running Shadowrun events this year? Is that correct?

Or have the events just not been added yet?

I've managed to cram a MM-1 onto a 5-ton jeep, but you're not wrong about the relative effectiveness for the tonnage you pay.

Ground Combat / Re: Favorite hauler for assault BA (Inner Sphere, Clan, and Comstar/WoB)?

For WoB, you're spoiled for choice - the Trajan, Bolla, and Magi UICV. Bolla gets the double-play option too.

I like the WoB Pinto as well. 6 ton bay with 10/15 movement. And of course, the WoB Heavy wheeled APC is a ode to excess. Though the basic Transports work as well.

Do you like the Magic UICV? Not sure how it plays in AS but I always wince at the thought of it adding to the c3i costs of other units when I think about it.

It is larger, all parts of it.
So now what one is correct??

I would go with the CGL mass produced ones- same materials, same techniques, and all off the same volume calculations.

The first company doing premiums were able to get them the same size- Black Knight, Stormcrow, etc.

Remember it, it was hokey but no where near as hokey as the other shows if tv. Actually did a few things better than other more serious shows at the time.

But remember that most non-artillery AOE weapons are hard to put on a unit, or not so effective per its tonnage. Although it does have its merit to take.

Record Sheets: 3050 Upgrade Unabridged, Clan & Star League
Beagle Hover Scout, pg. 169

Issue: Small Laser is listed as being in the Turret on the RS, but the TRO lists it in the Front
Resolution: Change the Small Laser from the Turret to the Front

Is BattleForce still played?

I think so, you could ask on sarna.net discord server or Catalyst one.  You may pickup attention of more people.

BattleTech Game Errata / Re: Master Unit List (MUL) Feedback Thread IV - READ THE FIRST POST

« Last post by jasonf on Today at 09:29:39 »

I think the Raider and Raider II 'Mechs should be Experimental rules rather than Standard, as per TO:AUE, p. 120 (non-fusion BMs).

The specific variants affected would be:
Raider JL-1
Raider JL-3A
Raider JL-3B
Raider II JL-2
Raider II JL-3C

I didn't come across any other non-IndustrialMechs with a non-fusion engine.
