Interestingly, the Sourcebook goofed with the Mauler. It claimed the design was from 3039, but the technical readout series stressed that the Mauler was a 3050-ish design. To handle this discrepancy, they created the Daboku in later editions, which had a reputation for ejecting its pilot if you hit it's lower center torso...a feature that is, in fact, a tongue-in-cheek reference to the animated series action figures.

an observation. You declared "torso twist" during the Movement Phase. That is not necesary, the torso twist is declared during Shooting Phase and it does not change the original facing for locations rolls against the torso twisting unit.

Absolutely incredible! I cannot believe I'm really watching a Somerset Strikers campaign on this channel. On Cloud 9 here.

9:00 FYI, there actually are rules for enhanced imaging. Condensed form is while the system is active, you get bonuses to piloting checks and shooting through obscuring terrain plus a few other bonuses, but if you take internal damage, you’ve got a 50% chance of your pilot taking damage too

When the internal structure takes damage it's only a chance of a critical. On an 8 or better.

the partial cover modifier only applies to standing adjacent to and behind an elevation difference of +1 and only protects the legs, splitting the line between two different terrain is the defenders choice of which it counts as passing through.

A Battletech battle report is always a welcome sight!

It is a good day when you see some battletech stuff here, more if it is classic battletech. I have see all the series last week ! Good call

Information is ammunition!

When a mech does a physical attack one level below a target, it can only punch (or use arm mounted physical weapons) and you use the kick table for the hit. The reverse is true for attacking from a level above, you can only kick and use the punch table. Also, you do add terrain modifiers cumulatively. Especially for woods, you can have a maximum of +2 modifier for woods or LOS is obstructed. This means a single hex of heavy or two hexes of light woods can be seen through. I also believe this adds to the modifier for partial cover behind elevated terrain. Loving the BT content, keep it up!

Yes!!!! Finally some battletech! We need more uploads! MORRRRRRE battletech!!

I love the way you tackle a fiddly game with such joy. Sure, you get some rules wrong but you keep it fun and moving along! Nice job.

I'm so excited to watch this series. You built up my anticipation when you announced you were doing this and I'm glad the first episode is here. I feel like a kid on Christmas morning!

In classic you can see through the mechs for LOS

Pulse lasers are -2 to target number not -1

Haha it's been a thousand years since I saw that show. Great idea digging it up for CBT scenarios!

Thanks for posting some Battletech content. Been playing for many years and still love it. The new plastic minis and new beautiful maps have revitalized the local BT scene. Enjoyed watching the video and hilarious commentary! Keep up the quality content.

When a 2 is rolled there's a chance of a critical not automatically a critical.

Absolutely love these. Huge fan of this series and source book! Thank you for making this series. Keep up the great work

I am so excited you are playing through this sourcebook!

A rough start for the Strikers--though, I doubt that is getting any easier from what I remember from these scenarios! Can't wait for the next episode of GuerrillaTech.

Love seeing this channel grow. Been following for a few months and feel like it’s grown even since then. Like these battletech matches.

So great seeing this on the channel! Loved it! Remember crits don't automatically happen, you have to roll to confirm

LMAO I loved it whenever "For KERENSKKKY" was shouted.

Very entertaining and I am looking forward to more! Im still learning so I appreciate the camera work and being close enough to read the dice and small details of whats going on.

I really enjoy the battle reports with Jay. I think you and he have great chemistry and always make for a highly entertaining video. I look forward to seeing him in future battle reports!

We need more! I´m missing Battletech lately

pulse lasers confer a -2 to hit, not -1. Also, hit arcs are plotted from the facing of the mech's feet - not the torso (if twisted). Sorry I sound like such an asshole, pointing out rules. I love the quality of these videos and your minis are wonderfully painted. The energy is good and it is fun to watch. But even one improper ruling can make a huge difference imo so I thought you might want to get them right so I say these things. Also, you can torso twist during the fire declaration phase. Physical attacks are made after ranged weapon attacks. When your physical attack only reaches the legs of the target mech like here, it is resolved using the Kick table. When attacking from a side arc, the attack ALWAYS hits the leg on the corresponding side. Similarly, if you kick a mech 1 lv below the attacker - it is resolved on the Punch table. The punch table gives 16.5% head hits instead of the usual 2.7% ;) When using a Hatchet against a target ON THE SAME LEVEL , the attacking player resolves hits on the regular table BUT, MAY CHOOSE to use the punch or kick table at a cost of +4 to-hit mod (in addition to the -1 hatchet bonus). Also, I just realized you boys are not rolling for criticals. You have to roll crit. 2d6 8+ for one crit, 10-11 for 2 and 12 for 3 or blown-off limb/head. Also, you are forgetting fall damage. Tonnage /10 x levels fallen, in groupings of 5.

Awesome stuff. Thanks for sharing classic Battletech. Add in those attacker movement modifiers could cause some missed shots.

Partial cover only counts if youre in the hex next to it in CBT

I'm amazed the Hunchback IIc made it through that. despite the low ammo count I have never actually seen one live to run out of ammo before as they are VERY dangerous and VERY under-armored.

Let's torso twist again, like we did last Somerset! Great fun, still not enough standing in puddles to shed heat though.

I had no idea this even existed. No nostalgia. But lots of fun watching you guy enjoy it.

This is such a fun game to watch. I would love to see more air to air action myself. Can't wait to see more CBT battle reports.

Looking forward to watching your series 👍🏻

love to see the inequality in numbers and quality play also the great fun with all those references to the series even by the players! On the other hand i would have liked you to use the rules for Honorable clan combat even though you kinda made up your own variation on it as you went on.

Love that you guys are playing battletech!!!

I love it when you play Jay! That dude is great.

This brings back memories. I used to miss on sixes all the time.

For my next action I would like to spend 2 heat to refuse your batchall.

Remember Valten Ryder's rules for dating elementals. 'No concussions on the first date.'

Can't wait for the next one

Wow I remember watching that animated show.

Watching this as I boot up Mech Warrior 5 for another playthrough.

No wonder Victor Steiner-Davion called him Ciro the hero ironically

Unless I'm mistaken being shot in the head isn't a piloting skill roll (PSR) it's a conscienceness roll which start at 3+ but every time you get hit they get harder so 3+ 5+ 7+ 9+ 11+. On the 6th damage you auto pass out and can't wake up (you wake up on the next increment so if you needed a 3+ and rolled a 2 then it's 5+ to wake up but this doesn't get any harder and if you take another head hit it's still a 5+) There should a gauge on your mech sheet. Also if you ammo explodes on a crit or your lose a left/right torso I think thst damages the pilot too

Loving the Battletech!

Super stoked every time I see CBT content! My favourite wargame on my favourite wargaming channel! One quick note on the rules, if I may: when a mech falls, it takes damage, determined by its facing. The bigger the mech the more damage it takes, so that Mauler would have taken a beating! Keep up the awesome content.

It's like watching lil kids youth soccer. Everyone just clustering around each other, 'Bunch Ball'. Fun watch tho! I played so much BT 'back in the day' that I still know the Hit Table rolls, Weapon Ranges/minimums, Damage & Heat, plus a whole lotta Mechs readouts. You did tempt me tho, so much so that I stop'd watching these Batt[tletech]Reps. Many months later, yes, I'm finally baAaAaAck! & I caved, 2 different Starter sets & 3x Lance packs. More than enuff IS3025 goodness to re-gather all the old Mechwarriors for more than a bit of 'A Game of Armored Combat' awesomeness! Blaster was here... forward all my correspondence to me in 3025!

More Battletech! 🥰🥰

Hey guerrilla there's a new mutant chronicles warzone table top game coming soon would love to see you play some bat reps in it

Aw yis moar BattleTech!

Stompy robots and wacky fun! I’d like this twice if I could.

CASE only prevents damage transfer, not the explosion itself, if I recall correctly. That mauler was toast!

Classic Battletech joy

You know I just noticed you skip the declaration phase for attacks and I don't think anything was lost doing that lol

Just checking this out... I was wondering if my Battlestar Galactica vipers (from the space game from Ares) would fit on these hexes lol. Would so use them as fighters as well 😂

You DARE refuse my BATCHALL

Ash, I love this series SO MUCH...but you really need to brush up on your rules brother. Alot of people will be playing based on how you did it! I'm not listing them as others have in the comments. PLEASE take this as constructive criticism Ash, it's so good that you're giving Battle tech the attention it's always deserved with your usual boyish enthusiasm 😍🤸

I miss BT. I could watch this all day.

When ammo goes and case is involved with innersphere the torso blows but nothing else the pilot automatically takes 2 pilot hit and so at that point the mauler is dieded.

Awesome

I don't know, losing an assault to gain a medium doesn't seem like a Pyrrhic victory to me :D

Jade Falcon for lyfe!

Information is Ammunition

CIIIIRRROOOOO JENKINS!!!!!!!!!!!

Mauler has four ac2s not two.

Great game, the current rules seem a bit more kind than I remember in the 90s.

thanks Ash, great game! Check Etsy for custom made Movement dice, makes things super easy. :)

AWESOME!!!! Loved the show as a kid and my kids also enjoy it. What model are you using for the Banshee fighter? Only thing I'm missing for the strikers.

Will you be doing more gamma wolves? Love the game. Me and my mates have played a few games and we love it.

What green paint did you use for the jade falcon mechs??

YEEEEEEEAH MORE BTTTTTTT

CBT you say...

Mauser only has 2 ac2. Thought it had 4.

I would be really keen to see some Battleforce 2 for the larger number of Mech battles. Possible?

13:00 Intervenining terrain doesn't effect ASF strikes

Where'd you get the Mauler model from? 💕

What is that Mauler model? I didn't think CGL made one yet.

Thought she had Jade Falcon Vulture Prime (2 LPL 2 MPL and 2x LRM20 no jump jets

I was unlikely the last game I played. It was Mad cat Prime vs Nova A one ER ppc killed my mad cat by headshot

Don't ultra acs have the option to fire twice per weapon ...so the hunchback 2c could have shot 4 times Vs the mauler

Did they ever make mech minis with twistable torsos? Seems like an obvious feature to have.

First Movement: Vulture Prime CAN´t jump

being in forest is a subjective thing, you might not be able to see the forest from the trees, if you look to the wood only

😍Any chance you'll share the link to obtain the AXM-2N ???? Absolutely love that Mech and the best variation by far. @Guerrilla Miniature Games

Was this Jayknight Jay???

The critical hit are being done wrong. Need to roll an 8 up to get any crits.

2 on 2d6 is just a crit roll, not an auto crit - at least I think :)

I've seen the show no way was Adam a 2/2 more like a 6/6 lol

It would be nice if you played actual Battletech and observed the phases the way they are written

Hello, when part 2 ???

Unfortunately you guys got so many rules wrong…. I appreciate the effort but you guys need to learn the rules!!!

awesome :D good callback to the comstar propaganda show ;)

great game and minis but I think you guys need to brush up on the rules.

Refuse your what?

I love the concept, but you guys really need to brush up on the rules. I won't be a rule-nazi here, as others have pointed out some of the pretty basic things you got wrong, but I would like to point out an even more basic thing that you got wrong, Kristen Redmond is piloting a Vulture (Mad Dog) prime. This model does not have jump jets, yet you jump. This is basic reading of the record sheets, yet nobody notices it or calls it out?

Well, intro to cover the Cartoon of MechWarrior. Little fun fact: The Cartoon is not canon to the lore of Battletech. Yet what makes the cartoon canon to the lore. The cartoon is in universe propaganda cartoon. The cartoon exists in the universe and you were all watching propaganda!

CBT is so cumbersome compared to contemporary games. 😞Alpha Strike is much more enjoyable to watch for me.
