    Great to see some Alpha Strike play. I feel it makes Battletech way more inviting to new players and for speed games Hex Alpha Strike is the best of both Battletech worlds with no measuring and no arguments about range or LOS.

    Yes! More Alpha Strike! More critical! More DFAs! More carnage! Enjoyed the batrep dude and glad for all the work you do for the community.

    4:27 That Archer model is great.
    Catapult Faceplant From Above 😍😍
    Jay makes for a fun and voluble opponent.
    I find the larger scale engagements in Alpha Strike to be more fun; though using Classic Battletech for duels would be cool.
    I'm looking forward to the campaign games. Having an emergent storyline is one of my favourite things about wargaming.
    I'm also looking forward to let's play Eavyhay Utyday from Ash in the near future 😉

    Trash talking in Battletech seems more civil than other games.. which is awesome.. kids have been wanting to play a tabletop.. we got neverwinter D&D campaign so they already do tabletop.. imma do the whole thing with the models and all i think they will enjoy it we play board games almost every day.

    OMG, you can't even spell Eridani!!! As a winner of multiple tournaments I cannot condone such a misbehaviour. Blablabla.
    Naaa. I absolutely love that you fully embraced BT's shittiest C-List villain faction as your main faction! :-D And thanks for picking the game format where you actually see more than 4 machines in a game that doesn't take several days.

    Can you explain specifically how you are doing dice rolls at the beginning of videos when they are different than base rules? Or perhaps put them in the description or a pinned comment?

      @veneficus7430 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@KujakuDM So d12 is just a switch from 2d6. It changes the odds, personally not for the better, as it tends to make games a lot more swingy. You will see more low and high numbers, but less midrange numbers

    Doesn’t the D12 kind of skew the averages?

    • @GuerrillaMiniatureGames
      @GuerrillaMiniatureGames  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You don’t want averages mechanically using Variable Damage, you want a linear result system. If there was a TN Cap for mods in Battletech a bell curved resolution would make sense, but they scale linearly. A linear resolution makes much more sense mechanically and also is much easier to resolve quickly.
