48 Units at 570 PV per side, played from start to finish in under 5 hours.   Victory conditions were 50% PV destruction, and it was a blast to play.  Anyone whos still in doubt of how awesome this rule set in should just take a look at these pictures and tell me when in theirs lives would they have had an opportunity to play a game like this in such a short amount of time.    The entire match played out smoothly, felt great, and we look forward to show casing a game this large at a local convention next month!  For those who think this may be overwhelming to play, it was surprisingly manageable, we went with lance movements, so each unit of 4 mechs/vehicles/etc felt equal to moving 1 unit in TW.  Play a few games at company level and youll be capable of something like this no problem.






First game played on some very nice terrain a local buddy picked up off the net, got to say, losing on a nice terrain board feels better then winning on a hex map :P

Very cool. You say "Bv2" in the title, did you use the beta point rules? Or the current point values on the MUL site? How many forces on each side?

lol sadly we used the old system.   we will be trying the new system soon though.  i just used the wording of bv2 to grab attention since 570pv each doesnt sound like much :p

was 36 mechs per side with 12 support units.  they went with 12 vehicles (4 tank, 4 hover, 4 vtol), i went with 5 tanks, 2 infantry and 5 battle armir sauads for a total if 48 vs 48 :)

We did a 800 point game with the old point system using only 3039 tech and completed in about 41/2 hrs. It was pretty cool.

i think as a group we have decided 2 lances or less, we use TW, anything more then 8 units is AS....

Nice, I would love to know where you got that nice terrain? The mountains are verry cool looking, and when can I get a pod/dropship like that one in the photos?

First off...awesome game.  :)

Secondly.  The terrain is old battlehex terrain.  Long OOP.  :(  I have some and love it.  :)

Thirdly.  The DropShip is an IronWindMetals Mapscale Union DropShip.  They are awesome.

Hehehe.  ;)
