Having a few people over for my birthday this weekend. I gave them the options for some games to play, but they overwhelmingly chose to do a Battletech Grinder. I don’t have the right mix of mechs for that “small” grinder set. So I put together my own small list, taking from the large grinder pdf and favoring ones I had painted. 35 out of 40 are painted. I just had the Mountain Lake map printed so we’ll use that. Very much looking forward to blasting mechs. #Battletech #WarGames

How would you play a short 1 hour+ game of classic Battletech? I was thinking a single medium mech of the most explody low armor variants. Like the Vindicator 1AA or Shadow Hawk 2D. (Is there a list of firecracker mechs like these?) Alternatively, slower Clan mediums, which have lots of firepower but not enough armor to absorb the punishment. #battletech

Its weird absorbing Battletech lore mostly through short stories. My actual knowledge of history is mostly Clan War from video games/vague memories, and IlClan from recent sourcebooks. My knowledge of the timeline looks like: War Star League War Clan Invasion War Jihad? War Clan Invasion 2 Peace at last? Just kidding, War. #Battletech #War #Reading #ClanInvasion #IlClan
