dingo with a joint posted:Does that mean it'll be available for regular sale too? Stuff on the kickstarter was scheduled for an eventual retail release, the stretch goals were effectively getting them out a little bit sooner. They said last time that they added completely new products that weren't even in the pipeline yet, and it really hosed them up hard, so they limited themselves to stuff that they had already started work on.

Painted up a binary of the I didn't think they warranted a full trinary. My phone continues to do interesting things with colors. They're a reddish brown but the phone makes them look blood red. At least it didn't kill the jump jet effects. I liked the description of "medieval knights wearing fur cloaks" so I tried to roll with that.

That’ll depend on your phone probably, they look reddish brown to me. They look great, haven’t seen that sort of color scheme in BT before!

You can also get a photo editor like Snapseed which lets you select a reference white and it will colour correct based on that.

At a Lemons tournament, no objectives, forced retreat to the center of the map and forces are predetermined. Would you take against the other: Commando 4H (4/4) Thor A (3/4) Battlemaster 1S (3/7)! Skinwalker Prime (7/8)!! Crab 54 (4/5) Shadowhawk 2D (2/5)

Skinwalker's got pulse lasers and an interface cockpit so those stats might be deceptive.
|
# ? Oct 8, 2023 01:11 |

They are extremely deceptive but at the end of the day it's still a medium mech and has the durability of a medium mech. Between that and a Shadow Hawk 2D and a Crab with an XXL and Composite the whole list might as well be made of glass.
|
# ? Oct 8, 2023 01:13 |
|
I’d probably take the second 3/4 of a lance, just because I believe the shadow hawk to be more durable than it is, much like an Oldsmobile Delta 88

Arquinsiel posted:Also worth remembering that the TROs are kind of implied to be in-universe publications and therefore quite likely just wrong. There's no kind of implied about it. They're explicitly presented as in-universe publications made by ComStar. The introductions make that clear. Also, it's silly to talk about a TRO being wrong or inaccurate. It's all made up bullshit so you can enjoy fun toilet reading while you decide which mechs you want to field.

The Hunter Light Tank is another excellent product from Defiance Industries of Furillo. It is a very affordable and reliable way to get a LRM-20 rack into battle cheaply.

In later TROs and Recognition Guides, they even deliberately exploit that. My favorite will always be the J Edgar Hovertank and how Comstar had tried so hard to wipe it from the annals of history all because of some fanatical pencilpusher got a bug up his rear end about how the lead developer for the tank had a name that meant Purity, and OnLy CoMsTaR iS aLlOwEd To Be PuRe!!!11

To quote: 'ComStar’s strange fanaticism once drove the Order to erase the original name and design engineer of the Jun Edgar Light Hover Tank, along with the tank’s production numbers, from the historical record, because the kanji character used for her first name meant “Purity.” The adherents believed that this belittled Jerome Blake, the galaxy’s only true embodiment of purity in their view.' So it's a literal case of Comstar in-universe clutching at pearls while screaming HOW DARE YOU like entitled Karens.

My local group is having a battletech day coming up. One of the regulars and I tend to get there early and then end up with people showing up one at a time, including some newer players looking to play with new toys for the first time. We've settled on a Hold the Line scenario where any late players can join as successive waves of attackers, which should he a pretty good time. My friend is playing the defender and planning to field Davion; are there any particularly interesting spots in 3151+ where Davion might get hammered by an odd alliances of attackers?

# ? Oct 11, 2023 19:10 |

Ankaa is now the tippy-corner of the Suns' region of control and would be a prime target for raiding. The Kuritans, Liaos, and Sea Foxes(!) are all a jump or less away.
|
# ? Oct 11, 2023 21:06 |
|
yeah, and the Kuritans do eat the Davions lunch for a good part of the time frame (until recently), so the attackers could be on loan from another power or "mercenary" units supplied for plausible deniability
|
# ? Oct 11, 2023 21:37 |

There's basically no reason for any of those factions to use false flags or need plausible deniability. The Clan don't care, and the other two are in an open state of war with the FedSuns and have been for over a decade.

Is there any state that isn't at war with any other neighboring state at this point?

The FWL and Wolf Empire had a ceasefire for something like six or seven years before things kicked back off in 3151. Pretty sure the RasDom and Combine have been in a state of mutual-don't-gently caress-it-up for decades. The CapCon I guess has had an uneasy ceasefire with the Suns for a bit, but the FedSuns and Combine have been locked in a very, very open war of conquest for over a decade.
