Gaming Terrain / Re: Terrain for TW?
« Last post by General308 on Today at 16:55:30 »I know people use 3D terrain for Alpha Strike but I didn't know how you would play TW with it.
Do you just turn Mp to inches then?
Yes. Now the rules will recomend one MP=2 inches. But when we play it we do one MP =1 inch. That way it eliminates the math. The effect is you get a larger battlefield by doing 1 to 1 in the same space

Ground Combat / Re: Adding in Arty
« Last post by General308 on Today at 16:10:57 »What is the "overwatch rule"? When I said we play with overwatch units, I basically just meant we park mechs with ranged weapons in suitable terrain and use them as snipers (or "overwatch"). And, yes, you're correct, fast mediums and lights make life tough for those units. But, IME, a good counter to fast movers is to park a big boy and pull better firing equations.
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?

The Inner Sphere / Re: What tech actually becomes obselete
« Last post by OatsAndHall on Today at 16:06:41 »Are Inner Sphere LRM launchers obsolete with Clan launchers around? They weigh the same, have no minimum range, and unlike ELRM or NLRM don't give up weight or crit space over regular launchers or exotics like ATM or MML.
Absolutely. Clan LRMs are half the weight, take up one less crit and you don't have to deal with the minimum.
