Should AS infantry use different damage rules then other unit types? It would make infantry less plain to play

Maybe foot infantry have "Morale" to better represent how it is a large group that can be scared into running away; hits reduce morale as normal but the infantry fully recover morale if they manage to kill one of the giant robots

Mechanized infantry have "vehicles" and "morale" instead of armor and hull. When attacking you flip a coin to see which one you hit and if you destroy their vehicles they are reduced to 2"f movement

Field Gun Infantry lose firepower as they take damage! Every field gun has 2 hull and no armor and when all guns are destroyed the gun crews scatter

Battle armor doesn't need any revisions as they often do interesting things and have wacky artwork

What should motorized infantry do? Capture support vehicles by boarding them? #battletech

Finished model. Added highlights (battle damage paint wear-through) to the edges of panels; weapons glow to the rotary autocannon and the lasers, and cockpit instrument glow (basic- those windows are too small for me to do anything more exciting; I just don't have the manual dexterity for it).

My improvement is slow, but I can zoom this image to larger than life size and not wince at all the mistakes (just one or two)!

"Strength of the Pack" kann jetzt vorbestellt werden und erscheint am 13. Februar.

Gleich vorab: Wenn ihr am Clan Invasion Kickstarter teilgenommen habt, dann solltet ihr das Buch bereit in Einzelteilen als E-Book besitzen. Falls ihr nicht dabei wart, dann ist das aber DIE Gelegenheit und wir können relativ sicher davon ausgehen, dass es auch ein Taschenbuch geben wird.

Exceedingly proud of the galactic effect I managed on this Gargoyle E. Also, I had a lot of fun doing it. #battletech #miniaturePainting #minipainting

A hand holding a painter's grip with a Gargoyle E BattleMech miniature, mostly painted, in pink, purple, blue and silver "nebula" effects over a black base, with the occasional white spot for a star. In the background are painting supplies, a cutting mat, and several other mech miniatures.

It's Saturday! Time to take a little break between the hustle and bustle of weekly life. However, the Archer might need more than one day to prepare for Monday.

Played some #Battletech with my kid tonight. He found a spot where he could use forest as cover to launch attacks against me without me being able to return fire. My Zeus 'mech is getting thrashed while I'm trying to circle around his position. I figure I might flank from the other side with my Longbow and Stalker, but it's not looking great.

Brilliant tactical play on his part. I've created a monster.

"Of course, I’d like to make them here in the States if we could afford to, but no one wants to pay $27 for a miniature, so we’ll work with what we got." - Sarna Interview with Loren Coleman

And I can get a 6mm mech figurine from an american store on etsy for $10-$16, less if it's a tank. Infantry are sold in entire squads and I can glue infantry from different sellers onto the same base. Some stores even offer free shipping if you buy enough #battletech

“Militia units of the planet Borghese, this is Star Captain Galen of the 243rd Fox Assault Cluster. As your employers have foolishly reneged on the terms of their agreement with Clan Sea Fox, I claim all Industrial assets of the world of Borghese for the profit of Clan Sea Fox. I bring a full binary of clan ‘mechs supported by two points of elementals.

What forces do you bring in defense?” -Star Captain Galen, 243 Fox Assault Cluster, 3152, opening moments of the Battle of Borghese

I have made a whole set of #Battletech Highest-Value game cards.

I may have also made an additional 16 card expansion...

This was a diversion from making a public-domain token set for print and play battletech amazement.

Here is a sample:

A Highest-Value type game card for the SubUrban Mech. Made in the year 2675 This BattleMech has a cost of 1.47 M Cbills, weighs 30 Tons, can reach speeds of 64 km/h, has 10 double heatsinks, and a modest Battle Value of 915.

Time to say goodbye to Mr. Greenburg. This was the framing device I came up for the different scenes. Kudos
@darkcrowind.bsky.social
and the BPL crew for making the vision come to life.
