By that logic the AC/2 is a very smart weapon indeed REMEMBER XHOSHA VIII!

Thanks for the comment! And yah, I agree that it felt a little too fast to get into visual range. We are talking about some ways to address that - a city certainly would make it tricky!

I only like those things when I am not on the receiving end hahah

Yeesssssss THATS IT! hahaha

The other half is extreme violence

Thanks man! And welcome back to Battletech - great time to get back into it. A Game of Armored Combat is an excellent start. I would also check out the Battlemech Manual or the Total Warfare for the most recent complete rules (TW has all the vehicle and infantry stuff - and while the Battlemech Manual is easier to navigate, its completely redundant with TW). There are also a couple “new” Technical Readouts, but they are mostly a remix of the 3025-3058 books if you have them... if not, I highly recommend! From a mech perspective, definitely 1000% check out the Battletech Kickstarter. Your mind will be blown. Amazing new models coming in mere months, so I’d advise checking that out. You can check out our custom BattleTech analysis engine at www.battlytics.com for deep dives on all of the kickstarter and Game of Armored Combat mechs - that should help you find some good ones! Lastly don’t hesitate to reach out by email if you have any additional questions!

Thanks! And great question... I am out and about right now, but when I get back to the DFA lair I’ll check my notes on this. Definitely would roll a dice for each pellet (so in the case of an lbx-10, you’d roll 10 dice)... there is a minimum damage as well, but I need to look at the model and see what the rule is on that to get it as close to RAW as possible. Stay tuned...

@@DeathfromAboveWargaming Awesome, thank you. My playgroup has been playing your ruleset in Civil War era for about 5 months now; if you ever want any input on anything, or just feedback/suggestions, I'm happy to offer them

Very cool - always feel free to shoot me an email with feedback! I took a look at the LBX, and you are correct -- for any given LBX, if *all* of the clusters miss, the minimum 2 damage applies. This is, weirdly enough, also true for the LBX-2. It keeps the damage within a couple tenths of RAW.

@@DeathfromAboveWargaming Shot you guys an email to the DFA gmail!

winning is overrated.

Thanks! Its music from the MechWarrior2 soundtracks. And yes - we are still here! Video production has slowed down a little as I’ve had some other DFA projects on my plate - but don’t worry, we aren’t going away 👍

@@DeathfromAboveWargaming Cool. Do you use that soundtrack for all your videos? Also, what's your stance on the upcoming DLC for the Battletech game Heavy Metal?

Always good to see new BT content being produced. Not entirely sure how I feel about a new mech design when there are 10 billion other fan favorites they could have chosen. 😊 But overall great stuff!

Thank you!!

We have started looking at it and testing the ruleset. Some stuff we really love.... other stuff is hard to work with. For mixed arms it’s definitely my game of choice. For mech-on-mech action I think CBT is the way to go. Ultimately, its on the roadmap. Curious to see if CLG updates the ruleset or leaves it static. Commander’s Edition, while a really comprehensive product, was essentially a cut/paste of earlier books in terms of rules. But i digress 😁

Hahah well you can bet we had a conversation about it....

If you’re talking about the video games, this is where it all started in the 80s... on the table top.

Death from Above Wargaming oh damn, the more ya know I guess.

Haha yah man! Thanks for checking in and feel free to hang around and enjoy the narrative behind the game! 👍
