« Last post by AlphaMirage on Today at 16:30:22 »My Karnovs and Anhurs survive because they move fast, assault BA are not really tactical deployment units IMO, they are defensive area denial assets. If I needed to get BA into a fight I'm doing it on an Omnivehicle/mech or hover IFV like the Maxim.

General BattleTech Discussion / Re: Upcoming Releases XXIX: First Annual 29th Birthday
« Last post by Prometheum5 on Today at 16:26:25 »Here are some Mad Dogs
First sculpt from IWM about 20+ years old.
2nd is the IWM redo.
3rd is the Catalyst sculpt.
4th is the Premium sculpt just recent.
The Premium sculpt is much larger than the other sculpts.
Haha WTF. Why is the Premium Vulture larger than the CGL Plastic? How is this so difficult??
As for the Phoenix Hawk, seems like the skinny limbs are fixed but the head fused to the torso is not, so any argument about the Premium minis having better detail is moot.

« Last post by worktroll on Today at 16:24:57 »In my head-canon, I distinguish between tactical deployment, and logistic deployment. The latter is thin-skinned transport, to get the BA from point A to point B in good time. A subset of this could be use of fast hovers or VTOLs to deploy heavier BA in blocking positions, or lighter BA into spotting/ambush positions, ahead of actual engagement.
Most BT games are, I imagine, using tactical deployment, where the need is for a relatively thick-skinned transport that can survive with the battle going on around it. Hellraiser, how do your Karnovs survive when the heat is on?
