General BattleTech Discussion / Re: Mercenaries Kickstarter Discussion 6: the 1st 3rd Star League conversation
« Last post by Rob Bendig on 13 May 2024, 23:04:22 »What I'm curious to see is how much the products we're getting through the kickstarter will end up costing at the retailers in the great white north.
401 Games (https://store.401games.ca/pages/search-results?q=battletech) has the mercs content listed for pre-order. If those prices hold, even with high shipping to Canada, this KS was a good deal for me.

Ground Combat / Re: The Value of an AC/2
« Last post by Charistoph on 13 May 2024, 22:23:31 »You only need so much speed on an AC/2 carrier though. Chances are a good half of the map is In Range either way, and you'll probably need to stay stationary to combat medium/long range penalties. It's only really bad because tanks can't climb hills good.
Getting in to position is just as important as being able to pull back. And since CVs take twice as much MP to change Levels, that builds up over time when compared to the Blackjack which can just leap over it (in most cases). There's that nasty Tukayyid map that's a pretty deep canyon...
The Clint is actually in the "no jump" category, since the CLNT-2-4T packs twin AC/2s, but your point still stands, and I don't disagree at all.
So it is, and fixed.
Also, the backup weapons for the Blackjack are great, making it even better, since everyone tries to counter the Blackjack by getting into AC/2 minimum range, only to be confronted with a facefull of medium lasers.
That definitely helps, that's for sure, though, there's that one hex where you're in Minimum or Medium Range.

Aerospace Combat / Re: FC Naval Command Decision
« Last post by Minemech on 13 May 2024, 22:10:56 »Please tell me what equivalent tonnage in canon Warships you would use to so easily dispatch the Fox?That response does not make sense. I could make a 2/3 ship and call it a corvette saying the same thing and give it less cargo capacity, but it does not mean it is not dead meat in a fleet engagement.

But she can also play Piano, trombone, clarinet, french horn, bass drum and quad octave marimba.
She also dabbles in guitar.
We are all very proud of her.

BattleTech Miniatures / Re: The Royal Dick: Journey to ReaperCon
« Last post by klarg1 on 13 May 2024, 22:06:24 »Working on the shadow side. Wasn't expecting such a copper look, but here we are. Main goal was to avoid any colors with yellow in it to communicate that it is in shadow. There will undoubtedly be adjustments later.
I can’t comment on what you were going for, but I really like the tone you’re getting.
