I recently got into Battletech Alpha Strike because of this channel. I did exactly how you showed with the download and loved the game. Now I have the hardcover rule book, 4 lances painted up and ready, and hours of fun playing Alpha Strike. Thanks for the inspiration. It helped me dodge the 40k bullet. I would be ankle deep in sprews and heavily in credit card debt if not for you.

Brand new to the Battletech (Alpha Strike) universe. I would like to thank you for taking your time to explain all the concepts. For someone that is a N00B, your video makes everything make sense to me. Thank you!!!

This is a fantastic breakdown. Thank you so much.

You aren't getting enough love for the effort you put in. Ya earned a subscribe from me however! Lets see more!

thanks so so so so much!, is really hard to find well explained tutorials for this game and i love how you take your time to show us all the core rules and how the game works, i want to show this game for friends and this help me a lot how to deal with the basics, thanks so much and greetings from Mexico!

Love this video! It is so easy to follow. Love the examples and conciseness. Thank you!

Thx for this amazing video. Really helped me getting grip on the rules before my first game.

500th thumbs up!

the Synthwave came in hard at one point and im not gonna lie i didnt pay attention to the hatchetman details but damn.

video was great, i played a game of armored combat a couple of weeks ago, been dying to use my Alpha strike command book i bought soon  haha (Building upto 500 PV Jade Falcons right now)

Thank you!

Have the book, but no time to read it! Just asking: does facing matter? I mean no armor diagram! so No? and everything can see 360-unless blocking LOS to Target? a simple Yay! or Nay will suffice! Still decing to get into this part of BT. TY For your time!

Heat scale nah never use unless taken critical hits

Thank you so much! I don't have the base Alpha Strike box, so I don't have a complete set of rules, and the resources I was able to find online wasn't clear on a lot of stuff.

This resulted in a lot of "sorta rules" between me and those I play with (who leave the rules to me, mostly), some of which I see now were wrong.

I have a question, or rather two. Are multiple-target attacks a thing? And how is range handled? If I'm at short range, but want to use medium-level damage instead, is that a thing, or are you constrained to range brackets?

Quick question. Lets say I have a hatchetman, and my opponent has a fire starter. I move and get to 1 inch of my opponent. The hatchetman can do melee. Can the fire starter shoot the hatchetman with him being 1 inch away and attacking using melee?

I got a question. If you have jump jets can u do pop up attacks? Or is "IF" the closest option  to that?

In the video games I used to take a catapult and jump jet above a building or mountain, take a clear shot and the release the jets and drop back down to cover.

Does that exist in this version?
