General BattleTech Discussion / Re: Chaos Campaign rules

You probably missed it because it isn’t there, at least if you are referring to the current, in print Alpha Strike: Commander’s Edition. The older, out of print, original Alpha Strike book had the chaos campaign material in it. The also out of print Alpha Strike companion has some addition rules for maintenance, repair, and salvage. Both those books can still be purchased as PDFs on DriveThruRPG.

Alpha Strike-compatible Chaos Campaign rules have most recently (I believe) been featured in the Battle of Tukkayid book.

Ah, I thought that!

Well, really two different scenarios to go with this; the intended training audience would have their sensors, including active probes programmed to read the holo-projections as real. Uninvited guests active probes would not. Fancy sensors might not be fool-able and the pilots would need to play along.

I'd say let your holo-projections do whatever a normal unit could do, except effective physical attacks. It's not hard-light afterall.

What if there was a back-door override that had been kept in the programming for centuries and no one ever thought about addressing or cutting it out, or when they did it caused the system to fail?  I give them a little fluff about how their targeting systems seem to cycle unusually as they approach the field.

Before I got this information, I was going to treat them like the Beginner Box in a way.  Basically, any through-Armor hit would cause the hologram to disappear as a kill.  So wiping out the Armor normally or getting a TAC.

If anyone asks about it, I'd have them do a PSR to try and figure it out.  Maybe give them a bonus for the same conditions as The Fall of Terra's standard.

Part of the story was that the Clanners scored far higher than the Spheroid commander would like, which means they engaged them pretty effectively and thoroughly instead of focusing on their original prey.

Of course, they could have just considered it another challenge and ran with it, too.  Clanners be weird, after all.

I can't remember where I read it, but I swear I once saw something saying SLDF mechwarriors put rank insignia on the backs of their machines.

Does anyone know how QML will be shipping (i.e. Ground or Air)?

Will they be shipping through another company (i.e. UPS, FedEx, Post, etc), and if so who?

I guess Canada got hosed again. Got 2 different orders and only checked the biggest one before. chipping has gone up from 37 to 40% of the order and the second one is 66% percent of the order.  :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:

I knew books were pricey but not like that.  :shocked:

Mine did drop $50 to $100 shipping to Michigan. I'm glad for the drop but wish it could of been more.
Just never heard of taxes on shipping to Michigan.
I just wish I could order more, feel like I'm missing out on something.

We're still unsure. The artwork on the cover, for example, shows Lambda Galaxy colors and insignia.

Probably won't know for sure until we get IKEO.

Company $150.00
Add-ons $110.00
Original Shipping Total was $33.86
Updated Shipping Total is $30.82

Was low, barely a needle move but only getting ForcePack adds on meant fairly regular box shaped volume.
