How well does Destiny do with Alpha Strike and TW.

Krud; I can't answer that question. I'm too old school.

Campaign Ops helps you customize mechs in a campaign but it isn't needed outside campaigns. And you still need TechManual for the details, weight, crits, special rules, etc. Tac Ops AU and IO:AE and other books may also be required depending in the item and era.

Clan Spaniel is now available in print on demand from Amazon and DriveThruRPG for anyone who wants a physical copy to keep their old FASA Wolf and Jade Falcon sourcebooks company on the shelf.

Clan Chatterweb / Re: Clan Watch membership

« Last post by cmerwin on Today at 19:20:22 »

I finally got around to reading through the Proliferation Cycle, and specifically the story "The Trickster", which chronicles the first omnimech fielded by Clan Coyote. Interestingly enough, one of the main characters is a Jade Falcon Watch member (Trueborn who washed out) who goes into deep cover on behalf of the JF to steal the omnimech technology. Not something I would have expected from the Watch in the 2800s, with an unsurprising ending. But it does show that the Watch at least had the knowledge to conduct deep cover operations, at least before they were disbanded and transformed into IntelSer.

Tennessee. No really large items.

Yeah, so we're next door. Seems a hair high for shipping, although if that's what it is in the end, I'm not complaining.

What State do you live in? Any of the large neoprene maps?

In a similar situation, with a similar shipping charge, just curious if it's comparable.

Tennessee. No really large items.

“Sir tracking has an ID on the intruder it looks to be a Broadsword.”
“Great we have cats back in the yard. Tell the GSF and all militias we have Jagā tōzoku-dan inbound.
“Hai Sir!”





“This is the first run on the new toys. We got the first lot. The GSF and Storm will get the second.”
“That works out well as my techs are looking to mod a couple of the Pikes.”
“My people will be happy to have the extras in stock for future events.”
“So the third lots will be for open sale?”
“Yes we do need to recover the money from this after all.”
“What someone with your money? I was thinking this was just something of a hobby for you.”
“You can think what you like. I for one want Howaitogōsuto LTD to bring in some money.”





“Sir tracking now has a good idea of the Jagā tōzoku-dan target.”
“So what is it?”
“They picked Saganami Shiro.”
“How much time do we have?”
“Tracking figures about two (2) hours.”
“OK, inform the GSF and Chu-sa Byrde so they can get units on site. Have transport get moving for the GSF.”
“Hai Sir!”





“GSF command to all units we have a bandit unit burning fast on Saganami Shiro. All commands will have two (2) Battlemech units ready for pick up and hot drop on the Shiro ASAP. Saganami Militia will be providing support units.”

So this is the next mission.

each command will pick 2 Battlemechs that will be dropped close the Saganami Shiro.
the only units that are in the field are the units that are at plant 3 mission 88.
Saganami Militia will provide the armor support.

Sturmfeur Heavy Tank
Partisan Heavy Tank
Demolisher Heavy Tank
Partisan Heavy Tank
Saracen Medium Hover Tank
Saracen Medium Hover Tank
Saladin Assault Hover Tank
Saladin Assault Hover Tank
Heavy APC Wheeled
Sloth Battle Armor
Goblin Medium Tank
Foot Infantry Squad SRM
APC Hover
Foot Infantry Squad Rifle
Motorized Field Gun 5 Infantry Platoon Rifle

You all have until the 19th to pick and post what forces you are bringing.
