Strategic BF record sheets?
« on: 13 March 2023, 13:52:20 »
Maybe I'm being thick, but... where are the Strategic BF record sheets? My Google-fu is coming up short. 

Yes, there's one at the back of my physical copy, but surely in 2023 I can't be expected to find a photocopier. Am I missing something?

Either print from the PDF copy of IO:AE (free with your physical copy if you bought through the CGL store), or generate a sheet via the latest dev release of MegaMek Lab.

Thanks, I got MegMek Lab working after fiddling with Java.

The point still stands. I bought my copy through my FLGS. I shouldn't have to play around with 3rd-party software, or find a photocopier, to get access to a Record Sheet template. I reckon it should be freely distributed by Catalyst, for example in the Downloads:

If you're not a fan of the CGL store, DriveThuRPG also offers digital along with print purchases. :)

Yeah, I too wish dearly that they made non-TM record sheets available for free.

Here are several of them as blank form fillable sheets.

Very cool sharing, thanks Alex! I do agree that links to those (or just blank ones) would not go amiss on the official downloads page...
