The Inner Sphere / Re: What tech actually becomes obselete

I wonder, how nasty IS 'missile boats' would be, if they ALL shifted to using Clan LRMs??

IME, they'd be incredibly nasty, especially given that their BV wouldn't go up that much.  You're looking at -maybe- a 100-200 BV2 jump if you swap out two IS LRM20s for their Clan equivalent.

We typically combined two of Catalyst's neoprene battle mats.

So just a suggestion trying a larger battlefield.  Really on such a small battlefield it is a lot easier to camp at the back were faster units can not flank as well.  Adding say two more of those matts will create a larger field and make it harder for a few units to camp at the back without getting flanked and eating shots in the rear armor.   If you open your play area up to more manuvering it will give other units a chance to deal with the campers.

Now I would use some of those lights your people like to use and pair it with some sort of LRM carrier tank hiding behind  cover and bring in indirect fire on the campers

The Barbell is one of the more unusual, if not innovative, Security Mechs to come into the market in recent years. The most notable feature of the Barbell is the use of Industrial TSM, allowing the 25-ton 'Mech to double it's lifting and striking strength. While armed with  dual Right Arm mounted MGs fed by a half-ton of ammo, these are not the true weapons of the Barbell, but rather it instead uses it's I-TSM to carry hefty loads of Handheld Weapons to greatly increase its firepower.

With it's I-TSM, 5-tons of payload is available. Most commonly a cluster of MGs, or a Medium Laser, SRMs etc. are used. Hazard Security Solutions sells an assortment of handhelds, and kits if customers have a specific taste, on the side.

Update: Heavy FF is listed as a Lyran Commonwealth prototype in 3056 according to ph 29 IOAE - theoretically this is possible, though it being available to the Draconis Combine and Capellans and Blakists wouldn't make sense then, and it should be listed as Experimental in MUL, no? Experimental rules level for 3058 at least

Nitpick noted and valid.  I am not sure what wob called it other than 3rd transfer.  If I get an actual name and go thru edits again, will make the change.

The XL Schrek PPC Carrier has heavy ferro fibrous armor which is listed as a 3069 invention but MUL shows availability in 3058. I had someone check RG32 to see if it actually has heavy ferro and that it's not a Sarna error.
http://www.masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/9480/schrek-ppc-carrier-xl

It's just if this gets fixed I will be sad because the XL Schrek carrier had an Alpha Strike stateline I liked to use in faction restricted tournaments. That extra 2 inches of movement came in handy so often. Unlikely, but would I be able to get a 4/6 XL Schrek PPC Carrier with the same faction availabilities as the erroneous one except that it has regular ferrofibrous instead?

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?

We typically combined two of Catalyst's neoprene battle mats.
