    Always love watching your battles - I appreciate that you don't over-edit and let us see how you work through the turns and rule checks. Keep them coming! I wasn't sure if I would like this scenario at first, but as you played it out I thought it was really cool. It really makes you think about speed vs. damage output vs. armor as you balance capturing points vs. crippling the opponent so they can't capture.

    Two quick questions: 1. Can Battle Armor squads ride in the cargo space of vehicles? 2. Does a vehicle have to have a Troop compartment to carry infantry/BA, or can they shuffle into any old cargo space with room for them?

    • @AlphaStrikeWePlay

      Good questions. Generally, cargo space can accept infantry/Battle Armour for vehicles.

    To follow up.on what Tarron said, by the ilClan era, all but cutting edge Clan mechs are generally for sale via Clan Sea Fox. A quick perusal on Mech Factory will show that many Clan-only mechs ended up in Inner Sphere factions. Older designs, especially, like the Storm Crow, Timberwolf, etc, are far more likely to appear in IS hands than not, so long as the buyer has the funds.

    Hi Guy's, Here are the rules I use for BrisCon's Take and Hold scenario: Take & Hold Game Setup Each ‘Mech enters the battlefield from your home edge in initiative order. There are three objectives placed on the board and they are your primary objective. Primary Objective During the End Phase of each turn, if you control an objective, you score 1 Victory Point. Special Rules How to gain and maintain control of an objective? To control an objective, you need to have more active ‘Mechs within 4 hexes of the objective than your opponent. If you and your opponent have the same number of ‘Mech’s within 4 hexes, then the player who’s ‘Mech’s are the closest to the Objective gains the victory point. If both players have ‘Mech’s equidistance from the objective the player with the most BV (including MechWarrior Upgrades) gains a victory point. ‘Mechs with an unconscious MechWarrior or that are shutdown, do not count towards controlling an objective. Objectives cannot be damaged, moved through (but can be jumped over), nor may a Mech finish its movement in the hex with the objective.

    Just found this video while looking for a refresher on how to use Aerospace units as I want to field a clan star that has a Kirghiz C (the variant that has a 10 ton infantry bay...) aerospace fighter in order to hot drop a couple of elemental points of the star onto things. Going to have to watch the rest of these videos, thanks for doing them! Editing to add on: "there's a rule for that" ahhhh yes, in battletech if there is something you want to try, there probably IS a rule for that (and I love it)

  • @csmead209

    Question then, an attacker on a level 2 hill targets the defender on level 0 terrain. Along the line of sight is a light woods on level 0 terrain but neither the defender nor attacker are adjacent to the light woods. Would the light woods intervene in this case?

    • @AlphaStrikeWePlay
      @AlphaStrikeWePlay Місяць тому

      Good question mate, and thanks for taking the time to ask it. As the woods are not adjacent, and due to the height of the attacker, the woods do not count.

    I play as the Marian Hegemony, so I switch all my missiles over to Rocket Launchers. The only downside I've had is that a bunch of rockets costs a lot more battle value than a lrm or srm with a ton of ammo. I only suggest the RL10, you can have three of them instead of a RL20 and the range is much better.

    Turn Sequence. All Ground fire resolved before Aerospace Attacks. You can shoot down your potential tormentor before he attacks. Any pilot control checks made in the end phase (so after aerospace attacks resolved. There were one or two other things I would quibble with but can't remember them off the top of my head. All in all a nice primer. Many thanks.

    The hex 0909 stuff doesn't apply anymore, errata for page 107 says you measure range to the flight path of the aerospace unit (both for low altitude and for aero on ground sheets rules) edit: you also use the aerospace above/below hit location table regardless of facing, and bombing ignores TMM and terrain

    5:47 _The PNT-10K has entered the chat_ Also, for the purposes of roleplaying in a campaign or something, there are two Clan PPCs that acted as in-between developments before they reached the legendary Clan ER PPC: The Improved PPC, and the Enhanced PPC. Improved is basically the standard version of a Clan PPC, has the same range, damage, and heat as an IS PPC, but weighs 6 tons. But the Enhanced PPC is a proper head clipper. 7 tons, same heat and ranges as an ER PPC, but it deals 12 damage. Came out in 2823, so if you're doing a campaign and you manage to liberate an old Clan stockpile of obsolete weapons, could be pretty sweet.

    I have only been playing tabletop for just over a year despite learning of BT back in the 80s & playing MW2 shortly after release. I have heard reference to Protomechs from other content creators & mainly how they are very overpowered & unbalance the game. I definitely see this & thus far in what I've read in the lore as I'm currently reading Sword & Fire where they were introduced they were a very difficult challenge for even heavy mechs to take down. I love BT for the stompy robots & feel that whether it's Protomechs, Aerotek, or artillery if it takes the spotlight off of proper mechs it isn't good for the game. I'm all for combined arms even if that means using mechs that have specific roles, but these buggers do seem to be ridiculous when it comes to the rules, & don't see why you would take mechs if you are competing & playing to win. You two seem to be in love with these things & whike I haven't finished this video yet it sure doesn't sound like you believe there is any drawback to game balance etc. Anyways I enjoy your channel & subscribed, & look forward to continuing to learn about this game & universe.

      The pilot cards are recommended to add some spice to your games. Having a unit on the field with some interesting other skills is cool. The other cards labelled Alpha Strike are used for the different and separate version of BattleTech. It is a simplified and faster version of BattleTech made by Catalyst Game Labs and is also very popular. The boys have not looked at Alpha Strike at this time as they are working through the standard version, but it will happen.
