I like the Gendarme.  Hadn't thought of using VGLs for tear gas.  Good call.

****TNN News Alert****02063033 – 21:20////BEGIN TRANSMISSION//// Hegemony Intelligence claims to have largely eradicated the remnant elements of ComStar's ROM, and assesses the future capabilities of any remnant of ComStar to be largely insignificant. Coming less than a decade after the fall of the centuries old order, this announcement by the HID signals the final footnote in the Order's history.\\\\END TRANSMISSION\\\\

The Inner Sphere / Re: Who do you find to be the most interesting character(s) as of 3152? Why?

« Last post by 17thRecon on Today at 18:23:46 »

Nikol Marik: a fresh young Marik character that legitimately seems to be trying to be a good leader for the right reasons.

Danai Liao: similar to Nikol, but with less naivety. Probably going to be doing great things.

Yori Kurita: because she’s Kurita and none of the other choices had any real appeal.

It can be done, just no backup weapons

Are those Snipers or SnACs?  I didn't think you could fit two Snipers on an 85 ton 'mech...

General BattleTech Discussion / Re: Mechacide?

The only unit I have seen that does that have the booby trap system to make it quick and easy. Doing it in the Succession Wars doesn't make sense because you can recapture battlefield salvage in a counterattack from a battlefield that did not enemy infantry present to start immediately salvage operations.
