After I finished my part of the video I went back and watched Tex's "Guerra on Terra" for the first time in years. Towards the end he mentioned making the McKenna-class part 987 of Tex Talks BattleTech as a joke so I thought it would be fitting if I let him go over it. Probably would have fit better earlier in the series but oh well.

Thank you for the kind words. I think a large part of the reason I put so much effort into the ground battles of this one is that I knew it was a unique opportunity to use maps extensively.

The Havel river has is pronounciation on the "a" so its HAvel. Also the Ruhr is in the West of our county, not in the east. The rest is pronounced very well!

The funny thing is that I am listening to this during part of the day, and then I listen to Shelby Foote's massive American Civil War History and I find that there is a sort of battle going on in my head when I imagine mechs on the battlefields of VIrginia, and formations of troops arrayed Napoelonic style marching on Puget Sound.

Perth had a defensive role in WW2, with a single naval yard in Rockingham and a set of gun emplacements on Rottnest Isle off of the coast to ward off potential invaders. When we were kids, my brother and I used to imagine how a coastal defence would've played out if that had ever taken place. It was so unreal to hear about an in-universe beach landing actually taking place in the lore. The idea of Mech warfare in real world locations still fires off my imagination as an adult, having since visited other cities in the world (such as Seoul, London and Berlin) as well as the isolated deserts of Australia's North. Bravo Sven and company, You guys really hit this one out of the park, and thank you.
