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.

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.

BattleMechs / Re: Shadow Knight: It's cool because it sounds edgy

I am intensely interested in what the Shadow Knight looks like.

What the ShadowHawk always needed,  the Wolverine-M treatment, lol   

It is very similar, though the placement of the lasers wiill make playstyle a bit different.

5 isn't too bad, but then again, it's only 15 tons, so, yeah, LOL.

It wouldn't qualify for this contest but I did a 20 ton Introtech mech designed for basically this purpose years ago.

Basically, a Hornet & Stinger had a baby.

Hornet Movement Profile at 5/8/5, but Stinger type weaponry, only doubled.

IIRC, My "Gendarmerie - Garrison Mech" had a pair of MLs & Quad MGs w/ 100 shots.

Fluffed w/ using "Rubber Bullets".

It'd take some tweaking, and you might need to reduce the jump, but that should be easy to rework as a SecurityMech.

Haven't seen gatchaman nor BOTP (but I've heard of them), but I did see G-force while it's on Cartoon Network's Toonami during the 90s; which are the same, but with differences.

Again, I was a 90s kid, what do you expect?
