A couple of retailers in Aus are already offering preorders for the Clan box, but I have no idea if the lance sets or salvage kits or whatever are going to make it. Considering how ludicrously over funded the Kickstarter was there’s no excuse.

Those objective markers are extremely cool; I need to think about doing something like that myself. If only my copy of the game would arrive, drat you Australian couriers

I said come in! posted:Is there an app for keeping track of your mechs damage? Or website that can help make it easier? Are you crossing out the circles on your mech’s record sheet? I’m going to get mine laminated so I can use a dry erase marker to do it and have them be reusable.

food court bailiff posted:Speaking from my own meager experience here, but you definitely want to use wet-erase markers. "Oh, this is so neat", he said, shuffling through the sheets for one side and inadvertently erasing several random wounds in the process. This is really smart, thank you! I absolutely would have made that mistake.

Ahh, no worries then. I’m probably just thinking too much in the context of my lovely succession war lance and their inability to even strip paint off of things half the time

Are these from the Kickstarter? If so, that's encouraging. I really like the compromise between old and new aesthetics. I always preferred the old stuff to the weird "hypermodern" take done by MWO, but this is great too.

I’ve noticed some paints can get really bubbly if you thin them down too much, especially if you’re not careful using a wet pallet.

I managed to avoid most of the memes, so I just like the Urbanmech for what it is - an autocannon with legs. I’m happy to have gotten one with my Clan Invasion box, but one is probably enough as much as I love light mechs.

I like how in the BT novel Wolves on the Border it states that engagement ranges for 'Mechs are ludicrously short compared to what would be normal a millennium earlier because nobody knows how to make targeting computers good.

lilljonas posted:”Mixed scale” is a thing in 28mm scale as well, but few people realize or admit it. It got super obvious for us when we were making ww2 terrain. If you make actually 1:56 scaled houses, anything bigger than huts will take up a huge chunk of a table. A small, properly scaled, village church will eat up 1/4th of a common 4’x6’ table, same for things like station buildings. You need to adjust length proportions a lot to get houses that feel ok but still leaves you with playing area. 1/144 scale buildings work really well for 1/100 scale armies for the same reason, I've found. If you're playing Classic Battletech on hexes, I'd say forget about accuracy of scale and just put down what looks good and works with the hexes.

Part of the reason I don't really play games past the initial Clan Invasion (I know the Raven is Fourth(?) Succession) is because all these bits of fancy gear make my head hurt I just want to shoot guns at robbits

I went for the Veteran level myself; it seems like decently good value, especially considering the forcepacks will almost certainly be cheaper later with a FLGS discount.

Defiance Industries posted:I say hit him with the rules reference. Then double check all of his numbers because he's definitely cheating. And then ask him what is so profoundly wrong with his life that he is metaphorically searching his couch for change by needing a win at BattleTech by cheating I feel like this would just escalate and make the op look like the bigger rear end in a top hat. Just don’t play with the dude again if he’s not going to let you see his record sheets.

Deliberately playing poo poo mechs and using drop tonnage instead of BV to deliberately unbalance the game is actually a lot of fun.

Dr. Lunchables posted:What i mean to say is, "do late pledges/pledge manager things count toward the stretch goals?" I don't think so, no. Everything they've posted will eventually come out, just further in the future. So probably not until 2025 given that this KS is slated for fulfillment in June 2024. Of course, Catalyst sticking to their timeframes is incredibly optimistic.
