Very important tactical note for the LCT-1M: It has literally a single ton of armor, that's 16 points total. Do not get this thing anywhere near an enemy. Stay at the absolute outer limits of your LRM medium range whenever possible. Because a single medium laser hit can cripple this Locust. The arms and legs each have a single point of armor, but more importantly they only have 3 and 4 structure, respectively. So a medium laser will remove that likb with a single shot. And if that's one of your legs? You're done.

Absolutely!

Seeing what 1 ton of armor looks like on the record sheet is a little disconcerting.

Making a list of 'Mech requests for after I cover the AGOAC box, Beginners boxes, and Clan Invasion boxes. Your suggestion is added to the list!

Thanks! I figured doing some short videos on the "beginner" 'Mechs would help new players get excited about their units.

Yay another channel I can nerd out on for a game I can't find anyone good to play with.

My location has a pretty decent sized group, but my problem tends to be finding the time.

@@12crit Yeah last time I played with someone it was a simple 4v4 classic and took almost 6 hours.

Series should be perfect to get the non battletech fans of my friend group involved. Thanks!

@12crit Ай бұрын

Awesome! My intention is to use this channel to make it easy for newcomers to get into BattleTech. Hopefully it helps!

Oh hey! This is an excellent series idea!

@12crit Ай бұрын

I knew I wanted to do some videos covering BattleMechs and was struggling on where to start, then I just went "where did I start?"

Loved the very in depth review.. for sugestions outside of the box.. Id say Archangel.. or maybe for something more "tame" marauder

@12crit Ай бұрын

Might have to splurge on an Archangel model now. It's a fun design!
