Love to see more classic, pulses have a -2 to hit and each SRM location is rolled separately not in groups of five damage.

one thing about BT fans.. they'll let you know when you're wrong... and you are always wrong about something.

Please do more battletech classic!

The Highlander IIC is the clan version of the Highlander (that is what the IIC signifies). Definitely would have been difficult to get as salvage...

The wraith is a 3055 mech

That battlemaster is a 3062 varient

The wolverine is a 3050 fed suns varient.

It's fine if the battle is happening in the 60s.

I'm helping. 😜

Y’all managed to hit me in the feels with talking about the fact that you have to ignore messages to get a game in.

...still miss the old intro music :(

This was made immeasurably better by the made-with-mouth sound effects.

Nice a 2v2, we play a lot like that here at home. Good match.

Love it, I have only played Alpha Strike since getting back into Battletech, seeing this game makes me want to dust off the classic rules the next time I'm in the mood. The 3D terrain is a real bonus too.

All those painted mechs on the side are such a tease!

@geoclisymmk2135 2 years ago

A death from above attack abides by the charging rules in that it takes such concentration to try to pull it off that the pilot can't take the time to aim and fire weapons

@geoclisymmk2135 2 years ago (edited)

jump of 7 = +4 TMM jump of 3 = +2 TMM, all jumps add +1 to the TMM distance when compared to walking

Gorgeous table and if you're piloting a Highlander I think DFAs are mandatory regardless of whether or not they're a good idea. Thunderhead Studios does make forest and rough terrain STLs for BattleTech, so it's not out of the realm of possibility for another collab with GF9 to expand the physical HexTech line.

@geoclisymmk2135 2 years ago

SRM's do not group damage each missile is an individual hit to roll location for. (same with LBX cluster shots) LRM's DO cluster in groups of five or less

@alphawolf2993 2 years ago

its impossible to play a game of classic battletech and get every rule right haha.

@colinlogan2909 2 years ago

The first time the Highlander jumped is the point I were I totally started rooting for Travis.

Great stuff! Haven’t seen any CBT in a while.
Talking of making the battlefield look more realistic, I got some Toyota pickups (and some modern military vehicles I’ll do in house colours anyway), in a scale suitable for BT to use as terrain and scenery from heroicsandros, nice and cheaply. I figure in 3025 there are still Toyota pickup trucks. I also got some tiny plastic I-beams and made barriers and mech-sized Czech hedgehogs.

@Spectre22111 2 years ago

Awesome more battletech, and a highlander burial added in...shame you didn't exit in bagpipes for that roll.

streak SRM's only fire if they hit, which means if they do not hit, they do not subtrack heat or ammo, which means you almost always want to fire them! No worries though classic battletech has a billion rules.
