Excited about Blkout but impossible to get in UK… 😢

I'm in the process of re-watching the entire playlist - the next phase will be *so* much fun, especially with our hand-picked units as reinforcements :D

This video was a lot of fun. Thank you!

I love this but I hate this short form of combat

Ayyy

Comenting for the great and powerful algorithm

This is exactly the type of Alpha Strike batrep I've been looking for. Smashing work!

Another great report! 👍 I was wondering where you got your terrain from (the buildings and that great elevated rail)?

Love this series. Hopefully the Chupacabras can at least pull a pyrrhic victory out of this campaign. Bust through, blast the space port and fight their way out as best as possible. After all the bad luck they've had over the last few battles they deserve that cake.

Quick and brutal!

Just want to ask a question besides playing battletech do you also play Warhammer 40k?

Amazing as always!

Gonna be honest, the words might have been easier to parse if I was reading them. It just didn't work great, as written. Cool video though.

That little bit of bonus extra report is like a left leg in one of those build-a-figure action figure sets. If we combine the whole set, we get an entire extra battle report for free 😁 What's also funny is that my created unit ended up on the League side, but watching the game reports I still find myself rooting for House Corbyn. I feel some conflicting emotions coming up... 😂

Right, own up, who gave the skill 4 pilot the keys to the damn Blood Asp!!

Extremely cinematic and enjoyable battle report. Shocked this doesn't have more views.

This is not going well for the Chupacabras... oof.

Tactical draw, strategic major win. Wow!!

I get where you're coming from regarding the kind of primarily infantry-focused Thaumadrift represented in this video, but speaking solely as a viewer: I'd *love* to see more Alpha Strike scaled infantry action. I'm positively uninterested in squad-level skirmish games by comparison

I love the 50 pounds of large rock you have on your battlemaps. Hahaha

I wonder if that infantry air assault will be repeated on Blue Hole? I do think infantry combat is something missed out on in BattleTech. But it doesn't have to be the poor old traditional foot sloggers or the mounted cavalry boys in their trucks or apc's. Battle Armour does exist and provides opportunities that more traditional infantry don't. One silly idea I had for a force was a Drop Mech Company. Basically paratrooper force without the parachutes. Jump capable Mechs, medium mainly with one or two heavies, & Battle Armour Infantry to support. And dedicated dropships to transport the whole force. Need to seize or destroy an objective behind enemy lines. Or need to reinforce a failing position till heavier assets arrive. Drop these guys in and save time on doing the whole landing & disembarking thing. Can just pick them up or relieve them after the job is done. The 7th Light Cav Lance might have been the genome for this idea. Just upscaled and using jumpjets to skip the whole landing phase of the attack. One idea I had to represent the dropping onto the battlefield thing, is place a marker on where you'd like to drop your lance. Roll a scatter dice plus one or two regular dice to determine how far your troops drift off course from the landing spot. I'm thinking the higher you are the more dice you roll, there by adding risk to the manoeuvre. But there is a limit to what jumpjets do so I'm thinking standard drop height be 2 dice. If you have improved jumpjets or a light mech maybe higher, like 3. But I'm just spitballing this.

Great battle report. I hope fortune will shine on the Chupacabras in the future.

How have I missed this series?! Curse you TH-cam! Subbed and I have some catch up to do.

You could legitimately teach maneuver warfare from these videos :)

From my experiences playing the tabletop, "ammo explosion" is going to be found scrawled all over the walls of my padded cell

Despite Thaumadrift not being your cup of tea I am a big fan of bizarre little commando actions like that which change the wider strategic picture. I think there was one in the Galtor campaign book which was a similar small-action break from the usual "giant force wargame" format

Please play dropzone commander with the same battletech campaign homebrew

If the Chupacabra player had destroyed the remaining 2 mechs on the field at the end of turn 4 would that have resulted in their victory?

excellent battle report

These battlet reports are well produced and immersive. I can't wait for the next one.

New video yeeeeeei! 🎉

I'll be casting this to the big screen with breakfast tomorrow!

That little infantry action was great! Obviously not enough meat on the bones for an actual battle report, but it had a crucial outcome for such a small force committed! A good showing of their strategic utility!

Great video! Remember when your having a bad day that at least you weren't the Fenris pilot that managed to survive a battle just to be forced into the pilot seat of a Flea!

The Thaumadrift action is going to go down as one of the coolest moments of the series. For hard fought intel to enable a few infantry to deal a major blow that changes the tide of a war of mechs. Its like the plot of a movie.

Little Hetzer that could needs a special name or paint job (or both. both is good.) If that lucky shot had done something super cool like ammo racked a mech, I would've laughed forever. The fact that like in a sign of utter defiance he just "Oh yeah?!" fires and crits a weaponsystem after just witnessing their three platoon mate vehicles get devastated.... like... I'm not sure how the Hetzer can get up to max speed with how big that entire crew's proverbial balls are. ... gotta love it.

Man, that Hetzer crew deserves a medal...or a raise...or both!

The Infantry "highlight" was well done and a good choice. Infantry centric battles are a rarity. There's a real novelty factor here that might be worth catching. I have to tip my hat to a player who is willing to go on the offensive with a primarily infantry force. Not something you see everyday! I've noticed your players have no qualms about destroying infrastructure. I'm curious if they'd be so aggressive in a 3025 campaign. Love your batreps. Keep it up!

Real fun! I, for one, really liked the idea of the infantry battle. Excellent use of a small, mobile strike force to achieve a really important objective while the heavy metal was elsewhere.

Been waiting too long on this. You made my day. Can’t wait for blue hole too. And a two for one as well!

RAAAAAAAAH WE LOVE ARCHER-SIERRA 🗣️🗣️🗣️

You will never know the joy of seeing a Wargamer Stories notification in your feed and watching it for the first time.

Two battles in one battle report? Lucky day!

It’s worth remembering that TAG in the V7 rules/errata also allows the target to count as though it is spotted for indirect fire. It’s kind of an important change. :)

Hard encounter .. three turns of movement and shooting to clear that many opponents, the Chupacabras had no real chance of achieving their objective here ... I think it was a bit harsh on the player given the campaign impact of this delaying action. I normally really enjoy your battle reports but this just felt too one sided to be fun.

I always enjoy your videos tremendously.

Best way to make my day is to see a new video!

Got to say it before someone else does... HETZERS GOT TO HETZ

That airmobile Infantry attack was pretty cool! a good maneuver to throw off the Chupacabras. Creative as well. Lets see how it goes

Pairing the Urban Mechs with The Heavy Ontos was a good mix. They were able to centralize their firepower and just be a death ball.
