True enough, even if it wasn't shot to destruction, falling into a hazardous area making the mech near unretrievable leaves it to be effectively salvaged by those who can.
Worth noting is any IIC mech is not a variant of the regular mech. It's a clan second line battlemech they built based on the original chassis, many times they're not even the same weight class. Good example is the Marauder and Marauder IIC. Marauder is a 75 ton Inner Sphere tech heavy mech, a Marauder IIC is an 85 ton Clan tech assault mech.
I think throwback thursday is my favorite day of the week…. Especially Love all the battletech/Alpha strike content
Beautiful mechs. You can't have enough of them! Thanks for the batrep, Ash!
I love the hindsight is 3050 line 😂 Nailed it, Ash!
You have come so far in your alpha strike games since you started. Awesome to see fast pace mech madness.
Marauder IIC is a clan mech not on any Lyran list for the clan invasion but I think that's an oversight because they can salvage it in the time period
Everything can be explained by salvaging.

I love the 80’s. Bringing back memories of great cartoons.
loving the alpha strike battle reports.
Yessir! Definitely one of my top stops for AS BatReps.

I really like these Throwback Thursday games, it is my daily dose of nostalgia. Good work!
What? You can't have a Steiner scout lance without an Atlas. In all seriousness, love to see more BattleTech.
Man, Alpha Strike feels so bad without variable damage.
Agreed.
But I understand trying to teach someone and starting out quick and basic.
Any day with alpha strike is a good day
Jade Falcon be like: "We challenge you for your superior data coverage and lower rates!"
picked up the battletech core box today, keen to give it a try. Keen to try alpha strike too
Fast basic skirmish style battle tech was a brilliant idea, although I like d12s and die per point of damage
IIC variants are Clan second line 'mechs
Quote of the game “Hindsight is 3050” 🤣
Yeeeesss finally, thank you
More Battletech, amazing! You should give Battletech:Destiny by Death From Above Wargaming a try, it's an brilliant mix of Classic and Alpha Strike.
Good old Jade Falcon
Awesome, more Alpha strike. Poor clans not expecting the inner sphere scum to bring clan mechs lol. Please keep this reports coming!!!!!
The IIC. Era Appropriate? Yes. Donegal Appropriate? Plausible due to Salvage
Do you have color guide for that Rho Galaxy?
Am i missing something? Isn’t it a dice roll for each damage point, not a single roll for 8 damage.
As many have already stated the IIc is a clan mech. Also you overheated with it two turns in a row but didn't count the penalties for doing so.
Great game
Elementals don't take the penalty for jumping
For future games, elementals do not have a TMM penalty at all, as with all infantry stands. Cool game otherwise :)
