as many said dates are irrelevant but the forcepack itself still supposedly should be this

Micro Sol and micro set. Easy to find on Amazon even. You can find some YouTube tutorials about how to use them, but it's surprisingly easy to use them. The hard part of decals for me is the dexterity and finesse of working with fine tweezers, not so much the solutions

Goodbye MegaMek? A disappointing update on one of the BattleTech community's beloved fan projects

So. Here's some lousy BattleTech news. (I will not tempt fate by predicting how it'll land in the hobby's "worst news of the year" list.)

my FLGS plays majority SW - id say 80% of the time if not more.
Def not a bad suggestion to a new player to try the mose core version of the game out first though. Different strokes for different folks i guess.

Might just be someone who plays mostly 3025. I don't disagree with the advice - majority of the games i play are Succession Wars/Intro rules. Models like my Grasshopper and Wolverine see plenty more table time than stuff like my Nightsky, and i havent even used my Legionnaire yet.

new #Mechwarrior5Clans DLC is great, love my Wolves - but biggest downside for me is the random assignment of mechs available for purchase. Im on the last level and still havent been offered a single Bane to buy. Saw on some other gameplay videos they got different mechs offered than me.

Of course I made a b-line for the @catalystgamelabs.bsky.social booth at #PAXunplugged for #Battletech!

after the honestly good but flawed BvS, i was getting Lukewarm on DC movies. Suicide Squad was an early nail in the coffin, & i wrote them all off a long time ago now - and haven't felt any regret skipping DC movies since. (i did watch Peacemaker, that's decent at least!)

As free time returns to me and i can get back to hobbies, naturally a new one enters the fray - #Gunpla! Only did 1 or 2 ever before, but went to a pop-up #GundamBase, and opened the proverbial floodgates. I think i've done 8 High Grades in the one month since then😁 (Working on a MG now!)

Crazy #battletech game set up by one of our regulars back around Halloween - we defended a scrapyard as zombie Urbies swarmed! They were assisted by a Charger and their leader - 4 Urbies glued together! (aka an Annihilator πŸ˜„). Like any good zombie movie, most of us died, but a few survived and won!

Haven't been as diligent recording pics for BatReps, but have a few from the few #Battletech games i squeezed in over the busy last few months. This one was a super cool map - fighting out a cavern full of Kuritans to extract a defecting scientists. Hunchbacks were scary in that terrain!!

its just high on the meme-ability scale πŸ˜„, but honestly most all variants of the Hunchback are great in tabletop. (Videogames i tend to find myself liking different mech and variants than in tabletop, especially because customization is such a bigger part of them)

I knew there were shrapnel collections, but i didnt know they made each issue in paperback too! I gotta grab some of them. I always prefer physical media when possible - great collection!

First free time in a while that I managed to get a campaign #Battletech mission in. Hermes II M did well enough! Even if I took an SRM that knocked my unconscious turn 3 πŸ˜‚.

Same here. Everyone is welcome in our hobby. Except Capellans

Plus, this lets me put two vehicles per page for record sheets without losing the reference tables.
I mean the TW vehicle record sheets were clearly designed to take up half a page each, felt like a no brainer to minizine the amount of papers to flip thru mid-battle

the little chart that most official records sheets make for the bottom of the page is good, but too small for (easy) practical use IMO. Me and a friend blew it up to a full page, added lines and colors to make it more user friendly. its a staple for me using TW vehicles now!

Our LGS we have tried the support rules, and enjoy them to some degree - but have drifted into using the full classic rules more often. Weve even had some vehicle-only games! Its new rules, yes, but overall felt like the same learning curves as 'mechs in classic. Not too bad and worth the time IMO!

i typically havent played much past 3067 tech (no problems with it i just like classic 3025), but with that context, I tend towards the 7H for lower BV + survivability (standard engine), or 7K for the Pulse Lasers. 8D has fun tech on it to play with as well.

If we talking pure stock, griffin has the edge. But overall with variants and picking any era, gotta go with my favorite medium the Wolverine

Wait, my head canon narratives of Battletech games isn't getting sponsored?? Well then what's the fuckin point if I can't shove an add on my posts for "Me underwear" or w/e the fuck gets promoted these days 🀣

Absolutely. I put 100s of hours into it, vanilla and mods. Idk if its solely responsible, but the HBS game definitely was among the biggest factors that got me into Classic tabletop BT, of which i'll be eternally grateful for. Despite its sequel's unlikeliness, id take more HBS BT any day.
