Ground Combat / Re: Adding in Arty
« Last post by General308 on Today at 16:10:57 »What is the "overwatch rule"? When I said we play with overwatch units, I basically just meant we park mechs with ranged weapons in suitable terrain and use them as snipers (or "overwatch"). And, yes, you're correct, fast mediums and lights make life tough for those units. But, IME, a good counter to fast movers is to park a big boy and pull better firing equations.
That is why I asked my first question to "overwatch" is a rule in TW now it is pretty clear you are not using that rule.... Quick question what size battlefields do you play one? IE how many maps do you usually use?

The Inner Sphere / Re: What tech actually becomes obselete
« Last post by OatsAndHall on Today at 16:06:41 »Are Inner Sphere LRM launchers obsolete with Clan launchers around? They weigh the same, have no minimum range, and unlike ELRM or NLRM don't give up weight or crit space over regular launchers or exotics like ATM or MML.
Absolutely. Clan LRMs are half the weight, take up one less crit and you don't have to deal with the minimum.

Clan Chatterweb / Re: Terra. Home to ilClan Wolf.
« Last post by tassa_kay on Today at 15:38:44 »The Clan homeworlds weren’t starved of entertainment. See page 49 of WoK for an in-depth look at their media practices, which vary by Clan and by caste and extend far beyond Clan Spaniel: warriors get military biographies and docu-dramas of great battles, scientists get science-related programming, and the other three castes get programming familiar to the Inner Sphere’s denizens, everything from cooking shows to soap operas to documentaries to news broadcasts. Granted, these things are all heavily censored and tightly controlled, but to say they’re starved of entertainment isn’t at all accurate. The only real difference is that Spheroid media tends towards commercialization and Clam media tends towards information and indoctrination.
