Thank you I was having difficulty figuring them out.

For anyone watching this to learn Aerospace, this is a great video. For the Hammerhead maneuver (40 min mark roughly) to work, you have to spend all of your movement on your turn even if you do a hammer head movement. So you hit maneuver (hammer head) and then continue moving.

Use Excel and create 2 tabs. Paste and List. Press Alt F11, right click on any sheet name, Insert Module, double click on the module and paste this code... 'Create tabs Paste and List Sub ExtractData() Cells.Clear Cells(1, 1).Select Sheets("Paste").Select ActiveSheet.PasteSpecial Format:="Text", Link:=False, DisplayAsIcon:=False Mech = Cells(14, 1) Ton = Cells(18, 1) BV = Cells(20, 1) Cost = Cells(22, 1) RulesLevel = Cells(24, 1) Technology = Cells(26, 1) UnitType = Cells(28, 1) UnitRole = Cells(30, 1) DateIntroduced = Cells(32, 1) Era = Cells(34, 1) Sheets("List").Select Cells(1, 1) = "Mech" Cells(1, 2) = "Ton" Cells(1, 3) = "BV" Cells(1, 4) = "Cost" Cells(1, 5) = "Rules level" Cells(1, 6) = "Technology" Cells(1, 7) = "Unit Type" Cells(1, 8) = "Unit Role" Cells(1, 9) = "Date Introduced" Cells(1, 10) = "Era" LR0 = ActiveCell.SpecialCells(xlLastCell).Row For i = 1 To LR0 If Cells(i, 1) <> "" Then LR = i Next i Cells(LR + 1, 1) = Mech Cells(LR + 1, 2) = Ton Cells(LR + 1, 3) = BV Cells(LR + 1, 4) = Cost Cells(LR + 1, 5) = RulesLevel Cells(LR + 1, 6) = Technology Cells(LR + 1, 7) = UnitType Cells(LR + 1, 8) = UnitRole Cells(LR + 1, 9) = DateIntroduced Cells(LR + 1, 10) = Era End Sub Now go to MUL. Search for a specific mech and when it is displayed, press CTRL A then CTRL C and then go to Excel and run the macro. It will add the mech to the List tab. If you save the Excel file, save as xlsm to preserve the macro code.

The Chaos Campaign document makes reference to a Spotlight ON PDF. It has roster and some sheets. But mechs listed belong to Republic and Dark Age era. You will see units like... Templar Doloire Avatar Uraeus Excalibur Burke Puma Bolla stealth tank Purifier adapter squad Kheper Galahad And Touring the stars also contain info about places in a distant future from Clan Invasion era. So with the boxes you are likely to have, it seems unlikely that you could play

For Chaos campaign you need at least: * Beginner Box * A game of armored combat box * Grasslands map pack

I love this. Thank you for making a video on this obscure topic

You could've titled this as a Mega Mek guide for the tutorial scenarios. Would make this come up when people search.

Just got my first Elementals, and have some left over Epic infantry from Vanguard minis, so enjoying these tips and tricks!

i just started printing them and i didnt even consider rattle cans.. they are like the perfect thing to rattlecan too

This doesnt look alpha strike friendly at all

by the way in the novels lonley elemental took a atlas down..... 😁😁😁

hi, i appreciate your infantry content. there is not enough around for only men , if there is not any at least armor no one cares

more accurately a mech scale weapon is a weapon designed do do damage to mechs and vehicles. Not one that can be mounted on mechs. Because infantry can use most of the mech scale weapons in form of field guns, and those weapons used in an anti infantry capacity should also have reduced effectiveness.

These have been great so far! Thanks for clearing all this up!

How do you change thier gunnery?

Starting my first tabletop campaign as a GM. How do we decide what has been salvaged and what couldn't be? And how do we decide when mech or vehicle was destroyed completely?

Well done and well said, really wanted an overview of the system thank you.

What edition of megamek is this? Looks very clean!

Elemental ablative armor is one thing I always run on my Cavalry/skirmisher/harraseer mechs. They are cheap and don't incure a piloting penalty like actual modular armor does. And in a pinch I can drop them off and they are a mean combat unit up close.

Thanks for the tutorial. Been playing with MekHq for a year, but have learned a lot from these videos.

I like the idea of that building as a hospital than a corporate office

The background music gets so loud that I can't hear what you are saying.

For aerospace fighters do they need 20 hexes too for take off and landing?

Thanks for putting this up. Very informative breakdown :) Also enjoy your blog! Didn't know you were on TH-cam. This was the first campaign I tried with my sons this year, gave a great feel of continuation vs just a braw, but simple to understand. We did a company to side, I believe we did a 4 mechs of choice and then filled up the company rolling on the Merc RAT. Learned a little humility here from a pair of 9 old's that rolled a freakish amount of 12s and 2s over 4 missions and me not reading the fine print between tracks and loosing access to some mechs. We are now working through the Rampart Company Scenarios in the House Arano book, with a eye to moving on to some of your scenarios, most probably the War of 3039

Very intersting to see what other folks are putting together. Made a recent order from IWM of mostly vehicals, but had to pick up the new sculpt of the wolverine.

That is an amazing play area!

That's a spectacular table set up! Outstanding sir!

Good coverage of the rules and good explaination, good visuals. Audio cuts out from time to time unfortunately.

Ahh finaly a video that looks at the chaos campaign thank you

cool board! ive got a bunch of the thunderhead STLs printing and i cant wait to set up my own

Why you only include 1 secondary weapon and not two: Foot Infantry go from moving 1 hex per turn to choosing to move 1 hex or being able to shoot, Almost everything else goes down 1 base movement. " Mobility Limits: At 2 Support Secondary Weapons per squad, a platoon loses an appreciable amount of mobility. Foot platoons may move or fire in a turn, but not both. Motorized, jump and mechanized (hover or wheeled) platoons suffer a -1 MP rating for carrying 2 Support Secondary Weapons per squad. Mechanized (tracked) platoons suffer no mobility restrictions for carrying 2 Support Secondary Weapons per squad. These limits only apply when the Secondary Weapon is a Support Weapon. Platoons using Melee or Standard Secondary Weapons do not modify their mobility." - Techmanual pg151 And this is why I have 8 platoons of WW2 universal carriers, some with field guns. Edit: This then got brought up later in the video, but mixed up a bit with encumbering weapons (marked with E in the crew requirements column), which have the same penalty as crew 2+ weapons in close quarters (range 0, occupying same hex as enemy)

just pointing this out to be a smartass, but it would have been quicker to just plough through the rough terrain than go around it - turning to avoid it eats as much movement points as the terrain does, and then you often end up travelling through more hexes and turning back again.

Its not working for me. Its says my dropship cannot deploy on a ground. How do I fix this?

Been wanting to run this for my gaming group. It looks so much more simpler then the Campaign Operations book.

BattleTech: Flechs Sheets Alpha Strike: Jeff’s BattleTech Tools Alpha Strike Roster Both works on tablets and Flechs works on phone, both are 100% free and have lots of features.

It's fun to use if you are not a custom builder. I had this on an Android tablet, and it just saves paper if you are playing nothing but standard stuff.

1:03 Look closely… There’s nobody in the ship! The Ship is on autopilot mode?!?!?!?!

Do you have information about where to get those trees?

Infantry are *incredibly* underrated. LRMs, SRMs, field guns... All of these are highly cost-effective in terms of firepower, especially when considering things like armor or camo in conjunction. In a tight geometry battlespace, these can devastate a lance handily.

Wow… two of the best opening title sequences from SNW’s second season in one video. Well done! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

You have a link for this spreadsheet?

Great video. Going to be GMing a time of war campain here soon and your videos have been good.

Too deep...

Thank god I was able to find this. thanks for this resource

Good overview! Been getting back into Megamek again after years, myself! Unrelated, though. Do you remember where you found that version of the Campaign Ops art for your wallpaper? Looks great without the book text on it!

It seems that from the foam inserts shown at 14:38 the middle ones (directly on the table) fit most mech sizes?

That hex map looks really good…so many uses come to mind…can’t wait for it arrive on megamek.

One of the things that the manual resolution does not allows is for the expenditure of ammo. For that, if you are so inclined, you can edit the XML file before importing it manually. Another thing that bugs me is the opfor. Imagine that I want a friend of mine to come up with an opfor roughly sized as the battle defined by MechHQ. I can start the battle, save all forces into a XML. Edit all opfor units there, keeping the ID's (that's the tricky part). Do my battle on the tabletop. Go back to megamek and have a battle with 0 units deployed on turn 1 and ending after 1 turn. Save everything to the XML. Edit ammos. And back in the MechHQ do the manual resolution with this last edited XML file. It takes a little bit of test and failure but is doable.

Element games sells that case
