Clan Hell's Horses vs Oberon Confederation | BattleTech Alpha Strike Battle Report | ilClan Era

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ก.ย. 2024
- The Inner Sphere swirls with turmoil and the fire of new wars begin to burn.
The near-destruction of Clan Jade Falcon has prompted the fast-moving Hell's Horses to conquer several systems located in the Falcon Occupation Zone.
But Hell's Horses stretches it supply chain thinner and thinner with each victory, making them ripe targets for Jade Falcon counter offensives and pirate raids.
The New Oberon Confederation, seeking vengeance (and plunder) has just launched a raid against the Horse's staging base and supply depot on the world of Bensinger IV.
Equipped with some of the latest technology the Inner Sphere has to offer, the pirates favor their chances against the veteran warriors of Clan Hell's Horses Iota Galaxy.

The 2nd Oberon Guard have a very cool paint scheme, that's a job well done!
Loving the Content, in my opinion you guys produce some of the finest battle reports on TH-cam .. I've gotta play Alpha Strike this weekend.
Awesome!! Thank you!!
Yes they do. I tell any and all Battletech junkies to come here, they're awesome at what they do.
Thank you sir!!!
Excellent batrep! While I do enjoy the Alpha Strike stuff, any chance we'll be seeing more Classic or Destiny soon?
Definitely! We are going to keep things rotating.
Destiny
When I hear "snark" I immediately think of the living grenade-bugs from Half Life.
Haha oh man yes!!!
the music at the beginning was perfect!
Stream it on all major platforms! Its the DFA soundtrack.
Can't wait for the next Alpha Strike battle report
Oh boy, I'm getting chills with the beginning of this Battle Report. I need to get myself that map soon. Wednesday is always Death From Above Wargaming Day! Best day of the week! 😁
I need that Warhammer IIC variant sculpt. Where did Dan get it? Same thing with the Summoner variants.
Polygon as far as I know!!
@@DeathfromAboveWargaming I have now arrived at the analysis that whenever Dan fields a Warhammer IIC variant of some kind, something dies...very horribly...It happened when he used the Ghost Bears against the Nova Cats as well. I think the 'Mech is either his good luck charm, or his spirit animal of vengeance waiting to be unleashed.
Haha its his fav. And understandably so. A beast!!
@@DeathfromAboveWargaming He needs a named pilot character for at least 1 Warhammer IIC. Someone to deal with uppity Mechwarriors like Bubbles, Vegas, and even Malthus.
Malthus is unstoppable. The Knights have a quite a few key actors… but that’s on Dan to come up with his own callsigns hahah
Very nice,short battle. The pirate just seemed to have a "shoot me sign" on their vehicles and mechs. Tough breaks for them but darn fine action.
Hahah the pirates had no luck.
To be fair, they were asking for it with that color scheme.
Hahaha
OC: Yar! Tidings from the Oberon Confederation! We be here for yer booty! I, Black Beard and me band of salty sea dogs be here to plunder!
CHH: Greetings dezgra! There will be no batchall for you, dishonorable barbarians! NEIGH!
Random Periphery/Inner Sphere citizen with an antique CB Radio: What in the blue hell am I listening too?!
(IlClan and Hour of the Wolf say that the Falcons caw and shriek into their radios and the Wolves howl so only makes sense that the Hell’s Horses neigh 🤣🤣🤣)
lol
I'm not saying I'm rooting for filthy Pirates, but yeah, I guess I am. Evil Clan genetic super monkeys need a good beating. Always luv the content, you fellas set a high standard and we the fans get all the benefits, thank you. I've keep pressing Lauren to Officially sponsor your channel, I'm wearing him down. ;-)
Haha thanks 😆 let me know if he gives in!
Seeing the table setup time lapse is awesome, giving me ideas for tables. 😄
Awesome! Thank you for this feedback - figured id try something new since we get a lot of “how the heck do you…” questions on the table. Glad it hit the mark!
@@DeathfromAboveWargaming do you apply MP cost penalty while moving on hills? Or just count it a normal movement?
You do. Per the AS rules adjusted to scale - so 1” up/down. Vehicles pay 2”.
I mean, Combine, Later era comstar/WoB mechs have C3 stuff. but beyond that yeah its rare
Hells Horses are my main clan when I'm playing Clan Protectorat/Marik
or Liao
Wow that huntsman sculpt is just perfect. The extra joint over the catalyst sculpt really gives it an ownable profile.
Yah - I agree. Admittedly I am a big fan of most CGL sculpts, the Huntsman was kind of average. The 3D model is very cool. Same for the Warhammer and Warhawk for me!
@@DeathfromAboveWargaming cgl knocked it out of the park on a ton of sculpts... But so did piranha. A lot of the MWO frames not only make each mech feel unique from each other, but also find ways to physically represent their roles as well.
I'm mostly just salty over the huntsman sculpt. Perhaps theres some opportunity for cgl adjustments in the future💁
The look of the Huntsman's what drew me to it in the first place in MWO; then I fell in love with it after that
Feb 3152 ??? 😱 Not a usual period.
It reminds us it s possible.
Great Alpha Strike content as always! Please, please, keep making these AS reports.
Yeeessssssssssssss! Finally clan victory! Great game guys.
Whoooooop, it's BatRep time!!!!!
What happened to the Eyeballs? What a roflstomp! Clans in Alpha Strike are boss level, unfortunately. It's hard to balance them out, I've found that even on equal pv fights, the clanners just come out on top because they dish out so much damage. Gobs of damage. Damage for days! Damage at a discount! It's unreal.
Eyeballs got smashed by horsies. Sad day.
Try the variable dice rules, it balances out such high spike damage
We usually do a variation of that, and agree it smooths it out. We wanted to try it close to RAW… but RAW plus Battle Lance is very brutal!!
I noticed the Conquest Mission in DFA Missions 5.2 PDF mission special rules is copy pasted from the previous mission Take and Hold. Doing Chaos Campaign and building Tracks so I noticed this.
Ack! Thanks. I will look asap!
fixed and available for download. Thanks again 👍
It's the Super Summoner Bros Super Show!
"jump point"...color me intrigued
It’s gonna be serious business *puffs pipe and adjusts monocle* 😆
That's Alpha Strike, short and brutal when the unit count is low.
A bad streak on the dice can ruin your day, especially when you can't buy an initiative win for love or money.
How'd y'all pick the forces, BV or off the shelf? Seemed a little light for even an advanced IS (well technically Periphery) force against Clanners.
It was PV balanced - I’d have to look but I believe it was around 250 per force.
Hell's Horses represent.
Not a fan of Alpha Strike, but I stopped by to compliment the gorgeous looking models! Thanks for your content, even if it isn't all to my personal taste 🙏🏻
Thanks! What is your weapon of choice? Classic?
Loved the model identification, great game and awesome models like always!
Thank you kind sir!!
Dan, do you feel any different about Clan mechs in AS now that you've been at the helm, or are you still in the "They're Bullshit" camp?
Going to go out on a limb and say he loves them.
Yooo playing Hell's Horses without vehicles? Where's the fun in that?! Good Battle Report though.
Blame Dan haha
Wait...3d printed with custom load out? Where can you get such STLs?
Polygon masterworks
Love these battles!
Ty for watching!
Whoa! The Clan mechs paint jobs look NICE! Was that from using Army Speedpaints? Was that the Grim Black color?
Eeeeww... more AlphaStrike? It's like wanting to play ARMA III and Call of Duty Black Ops boots up...... :S
Nice table though, as usual!
Hahah hey now! 😜 Gotta give all the flavors of BT some love.
@@DeathfromAboveWargaming Hahaha, NEEVVaaaaahhhh!!!!!
Love those Summoner and WHIIC prints! nice scale and detail.
Where can i get that Huntsman?
3D print - polygon masterworks iirc
Great BatRep. Loving the new format at the start.
And the battlemat is to die for.
Jump Point? DFA goes into space?
I will be wearing a space suit
@@DeathfromAboveWargaming Affirmative, Red Five!
@ 27:10 😆 Oof. Great report, as expected! I, for one, appreciate seeing the pre-game construction of the table and hope you utilize such clips in all subsequent reports - it is great for the pre-game introduction. Your tables are instantly recognizable across the many batrep channels I view, due to the placement of elevation BEFORE you add the mat. The topography of your tables is such a unique feature! Anyway - BRAVO.
Thank you 🙂👍
Hey Bud, long time no write 🤣 Loved the intro with the setting up of the table. Has Dan lost weight? He looks leaner, good for him if so! Awesome prints and fun report. Looking forward to a face off between the Templar and the Kingfisher on a Destiny report. Talk to you soon, keep up the awesome work!
Thank you good sir!! Need a new mini for the Templar, but that would be a good match up!!
Great Battlerep! The dice force was not with Aaron. I think the forces would of been more balanced with the Oberon Confederation having 2 mechs instead of the 2 vehicles. Dan had great looking mechs. Looking forward to more videos.
Dice force has abandoned me!!
Another amazing game. So many critical hits!!! It was interesting to see the c3 system in action.
It was not as great as I had hoped… I think the way to go is dual masters with a bunch of c3s vtols in one network.
@@DeathfromAboveWargaming Masters can only talk to other masters under very specific circumstances - consider using C3i instead, it allows you to put up to six units in one network and there's no single-point-of-failure Master to get sniped out. Unless it works differently in Alpha Strike, of course - I've been getting very familiar with C3 (and, more importantly, how to kill C3) in my recent Classic games. Sharkie loves her damn EWar systems and ECM is expensive.
Non-bird based clanners for the win I guess? Short and brutal game. Thanks gentlemen.
I am still sore.
Great looking Hell's Horses, Dan did a great job. Also, happy to see the Oberon Guard back out on the board. I was a fan of them back when they fought Clan Wolf and Kurita in earlier BatRaps!
They might get some more reinforcements after the new Kickstarter!
Fantastic batrep, lovely models 😃❤️
Thanks for watching 👍
in this game the other player wanted to 'pop tart' and shoot, i think you can in AS, you just move but stay in the same spot. all jump mods then apply.
I believe you need to move at least 1” or you are considered stationary - but regardless, if you are (for example) standing behind a building… jumping doesnt change your ability to see over it, or allow others to see you. That was what we were talking about if I recall.
@@DeathfromAboveWargaming just imagine that for that turn you are just straight up in the sky. that was your move. and then you end up in standing on the ground in the same spot at the end of the turn. in the same way that were you to jump and move say 5 inches you were in the sky for the turn.
Right - I think there should be some optional rules about maintaining/peaking at a certain elevation for a turn based on jump MP! Nothing too complex but if you want to clear some trees to get a clear shot, why not?
@@DeathfromAboveWargaming as always you are a pro with your batreps. question- will you be doing any Dark Ages battles? Maybe an Orca vs. Dark Age clanners?
Haha who knows! Maybe one day. I would need to buy and assemble an Orca first though!!
Love to see the Hell's Horses shine!
They crushed it for sure! Loved Dan’s print and paint work!!
@@DeathfromAboveWargaming I've seen several good ones that step away from Alpha Keshik flames lately, which is nice. After I finish a company of 1st Canopian Cuirassiers I'm going to do some Alpha Galaxy 11th Mechanized Cavalry. I was stationed at NTC for several years, working closely with the 11th ACR "Blackhorse" Soldiers. If I'm doing a Hell's Horses unit, picking the one that is a tribute to them is the only right choice in my mind.
Love that! I was thinking of doing Delta - I think those are red with some white stripes.
@@DeathfromAboveWargaming I believe Delta is reddish-brown camo with black highlights. Time to check the UCC which is perpetually open on my desktop...
You are correct! I was thinking of Gamma:
unitcolorcompendium.com/2019/02/26/gamma-galaxy-4/
A real “HELLS HORSES,” Force would have 2 mechs
A lot of “Elementals,” (small lasers & Srm-2
Armored ice Savanah Masters 5 ton (Med Laser)
Tanks & LRM Hovercrafts?
