Finally, you posted our game! I also agree with the ref's decision. I'm definitely up for a re-match; I'll bring my Canadian armor car squadron next time.
Out of curiosity, have you played any further matches in the Battletech beta? Also have you considered using American Armored Rifles? I hear those are pretty powerful in the FoW meta. Maybe that would help you win more? I mean, assuming you don't want to murder some poor virgin to appease the dice gods, it seems like your best bet.
Battletech Beta? Yes. It's wonky under the hood. Too many cross the board head shots. Ha! I've considered Armored Rifles. But not because they're awesome but rather for an excuse to get more tiny tanks. They are crazy good everytime I faced off against them. Particularly if Patton is brought. But then, some stunning tourney upsets have happened with him as well (you lose him and your score shifts outside tourney norms).
Really? My experience has been the opposite, only 2 headshots over ~7 matches. And I tend to spam LRMs. Weird. That and hits seem to get applied to the legs rarely, only ever seen a mech die from both legs destroyed twice. Tiny tanks are good! I've yet to meet a problem that could not be solved by more tanks. Dug in enemy? More tanks! Enemy outmaneuvered you? More tanks! No room to move because the burnt out shells of your tanks are blocking the way? Use yet more tanks to create a sloped bridge!

It was a good game and I look forward to the rematch! cheers!
glad to see some non german on german reports, love the style
Have you considered getting yourself a cup of saline water and floating your dice in it to make sure they aren't crap dice?
Heh. I did change out the dice mid way through this match out of frustration.
A neat trick is put the infantry in immediate ambush. Good game.
That it is.
