If we only get 3 players for #battletech today, I'm going to take a 600 point Wayward Son #alphastrike force (Magistracy, WoB Era) against 300 point WoB and Capellan forces.

It'll be a riot if it happens. Among other things, one guy's bringing minelayers, and I've got either a mobile long tom or an arrow 4 Demolisher, depending on the version of the list.

I really need to get around to painting up a full LAM set or two, and some just planes to act as aerospace support.

I noticed #Battletech #AlphaStrike has an optional rule for AS that is, effectively, Infinity’s silhouette rules, which I think are Necessary and Very Good.

So I doodled up some S markers for it. These three cover everything except Protomechs and Support Vehicles Size 4 and beyond.

The smaller ones fit inside the larger one, and are magnetized because I don’t like leaving a lily ungilded and so I can stick it in an A Case and it’ll hold still.

Received the second batch of neoprene terrain I had ordered. It's reasonably obvious that it's all ordered as a single large mat and cut by hand by Muse On tabletop.

The shapes and sizes are, however, MUCH better suited to #battletech #alphastrike than the ones from Hidden Forest Gaming. I ended up with a lot of bits from the latter that I'll probably never use, but combined with the alpha strike token pack it's a pretty good variety of portable terrain.

The Gray Death Legion has arrived! #BattleTech #AlphaStrike

Went to the game store today, as is my wont, met one guy playing #battletech. Got one game of #alphastrike in, 3.5 hours, a good time for both of us, and we played a game that would have required ages to run in classic.

On his side: Twelve assorted mechs ranging from locust, commando, and wasp to warhammer and atlas. 300 points.

On my side: Four hover skimmers, four urbies (including artillery), and a C3 lance (Cyclops, Warhammer, Locust, Grasshopper)

I won 12 VP to 8, but it was bare.

Lovely game of #battletech #alphastrike today.. Friend is starting to see ways to improve as he learns more, and I have enough stuff now that we can just play during the week at my flat if we want, too.

A hold the line mission today, with him having a wobbie c3i level 2 and me having a second star league lance of vehicles and lance of mechs.

Got in my first game of #Battletech #AlphaStrike today (fun! fast! light!). Tomorrow, going to get in my first #warhammer40k 10E game (we’re gonna do Boarding Actions)

Clan Cloud Cobra Beta Galaxy Garrison Star. I picked a number of mechs that I hadn't yet painted, but I'm not really sure if some of them would be very common in Cloud Cobra units.

The Vapor Eagle is a really striking mech. I love the MG attachment on its left arm, and the cool shapes of its armor.

The Pack Hunter though... I've found I generally don't like mechs with the giant shoulder gun, but this one looks like a zombie too. Bleh. #BattleTech #AlphaStrike #paintingMiniatures

A Marik Militia battle lance. This paint scheme seems like an odd choice of colors to me, red and blue on purple, but I really like it. I made a small mod to the Wasp, putting the SRM2 on the right shoulder, to turn it into the 3M model.

Orions are fun to paint, but wow, they look like a pile of junk that could just fall apart, and that left arm is huge and far too interesting to only be sporting a medium laser.

The Bull Shark is not a canon mech, but I hope that changes, because it is one ferocious looking beast! This one is part of the Minnesota Tribe with a touch of Clan Wolverine colors. It's a little shiny, but dullcote will fix that.

Also, in the Wolverines, I finally found a clan I kinda like. Of course, they were destroyed for being progressive and free-thinking... as much as that can apply to pre-3050 clan society.

Back to painting mechs. Here's a Snord's Irregulars striker lance painted in a desert/canyon camo. The new Penetrator design is one of the best updates from the new line of minis - I can't look at the old version and convince myself that it will even stay upright, much less walk.

Drei Displays Clan Invasion Salvage. Und nicht ein Mech war doppelt vorhanden. Das kenne ich aus den guten alten #Krosmaster Zeiten aber ganz anders. Fein dann habe ich jetzt auf dem Haufen der Hoffnung 11 Grundierte und 27 die bereit sind ihre erste Farbe zu erhalten.
