- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 ธ.ค. 2024
- In one of many offensives to reclaim New Avalon from the Draconis Combine, the Federated Suns Armed Forces have employed Hansen's Roughriders - backed up by the 21st Avalon Hussars - to probe the defensive capabilities of Linneus.
The recently reformed Altenmarkt Rangers, stationed in the system to repair and refuel, immediately respond to the Federated Suns incursion.
Four lances of BattleMechs begin preparations for a merciless and brutal battle on the low gravity moon with everything at stake…

You are the only guys posting today not about MW5 Clans.
Good for them!
that’s bc they play clan irl
Absolutely love that you actually use the in universe ranks of the Draconis Combine
We try!!
Great to see Dan playing again!, good Battle Report as always guys!
Thanks for watching
Every time I see those gold crystals, old Starcraft brainrot sets in and I start seeing protoss probes racing around.
Hahaha totally! Deploy carriers!
"You must construct additional pylons!"
Worst turn:
Player slow-walks a Jenner near a pile of my tanks.
Four Scorpion tanks close into point-blank. Two more Pattons line up shots from medium range. Jenner has a +2 mod. I mathed it, statistical average shooting would've resulted in three quarters of the shots hitting from all those units, including probably one of two AC/10s. End product should've been scrap and ashes where once a Jenner stood.
Missed two-thirds of the shots. The Jenner, now sans a side torso but taking no leg damage to slow it down, runs the hell away.
That Jenner survived not one but two campaign games, and was known as Blessed.
And I'm still salty about it years later.
Cool that you went two lances per player on this one. I know that adds up to extra in post and it's really appreciated.
Not really a Battletech guy, but I enjoyed the batrep! Nice production quality! (And man, that lunar map and scatter terrain looks great!)
Appreciate the comment and thanks for watching!
Awesome guys! Love watching your battle reports. I learn something new every time, AND you are so FUNNY!!! Thanks. You rekindled my love for Battletech. Now just awaiting my Mercenaries order.
We appreciate the kind words and always great to hear!
Such a fantastic match to watch! Love some good Alpha Strike!
Also, very happy to see my favourite Merc Unit, Hansen's Roughriders, out on the field for this one!
Glad you enjoyed this one!! Thanks for watching!
I love the paint scheme on those Draconis. Really beautiful and well executed!
I had almost forgotten we get a glorious Battle Report this week! Diving in now...
You guys make some of the most gorgeous tables for these batreps.
33:35 - "this one time at battletech camp..."
Man! RNGeezus gave and took away in this one! I definitely know the pain of cold dice in a game. As always this was a super fun watch and that terrain is top notch! 😂
He giveth
He taketh awayeth with thrueth armor criticals.
Thanks for watching Brian!
The moon of uranus thanks guys you made my battletech day lol 👍
”And here we have a battle axe…”
”That’s a hellbring…”
”A BATTLE AXE.”
Good video,
writing this comment the you tube algorithm so more people see this video
Thank you ❤️ I am convinced the algorithm hates us haha
Ah the IlClan era where it becomes 100% official the fed suns has lost the plot armour
still rocking the OG mechwarrior 2 soundtrack, nice !👍
Hell yeah one of the best!!
YESSSSSSS LET'S FREAKING GOOOOOO!
What makes the ilclan era different from the battles of the succession wars?
Different setting eras have different tech / unit availability. The Succession Wars is one of the earlier settings time wise, and Ilclan is roughly 120 years later in terms of tech progression.
Thanks for covering this one! Great answer 👍
@@morgangould8051 Only tech availability? No hinterland power vacuum, no mech battles in los angeles. no pow camp raids in ontario, and no overwrought 190t dark age vehicles?
Touche'😂. I've mostly been running Ilclan scenarios. The only thing I say "hell no" to is the TSEMP. It's been a blast with the multitude of options available, but I do like a good old-fashioned Succession War scrum from time to time.
@@alecciarosewater7438That’s ironically almost like the Battle for Terra during the Amaris Coup considering who’s fighting.
Turn 3 just reminded me of a scene in Hot Shots: Part Deux where Topper Harley (what a name) and an enemy are about 3 feet from each other... emptying entire clips and still unable to hit each other! 😂😂😂
lmfao great movie
Where did you guys get the alternate sheets for the mechs? I use MUL so I only see the basic sheets.
Free on our website
So good! 😮🎉
new video hype! 💥🤘🤘🤘💥
Hype it uppp!
@@DeathfromAboveWargaming Paintjobs on all the mechs are really great in this one! love all those decals 🤘
Thank you!!! I went decal crazy over the summer.
How do you guys determine what your going to field/play for the battle reports? Do you just pick a theme and go by battle points or do you look into scenarios? Also big fan of the roughriders so it was cool to see them represented!
It starts with the narrative, and then we select appropriate factions. Based on the units we have available, we will collaborate on flavorful but not “over the top crunchy” lists… these were balanced to (if I recall?) 350 PV or something like that!
Thanks for the answer! Always love seeing the setups.
Thanks for watching!!
you haven't had a bad turn in Battletech until a hits-on-3's kick roll misses, causing rhe pilot to fail their pilot roll and fall. On the fall, ended up with a through armor critical, which hit ammo with no CASE. I laughed for a good half-hour.
Battletech is one of those rare games in which losing is often more amusing than winning 😁
@@nyandynTrue that!
lol sounds like an episode of FailArmy
33:44 Wargamer Stories has one episode that is ten straight turns of terrible extreme-range shooting and neither side could agree to a draw because the attacker's goal was to move anti-dropship guns towards the starport
Yes, jumping adds 1 TMM, This makes the Wulfen that jumps SO bad ass as it's TMM is 4, 5 with the jump
Haha sometimes I have to stop and double check myself. Thank you for confirming!!!
Great battle. Love to see Dan again. But... when will Override new on the table again? 😎
2028 I think.
@@DeathfromAboveWargaming This does not check out, Star Commander.
My nav point is taking me off a cliff, over
@@DeathfromAboveWargaming not playing Override is considered dezgra, it's in the Remembrance... somewhere... 😜
Haha I do love how much you love it ❤️
Nice a batrep.
Nice
Saugute Musik!
I had shot at the radar dish - 2 mechs with alpha strike
Linneaus is "Lih-nay-us"
I ignored your first comment, but I’ll take the bait on this one:
Go outside and interface with more humans.
@@DeathfromAboveWargaming I did. I went to school. That's where I learned about Carl Linneaus.
For every 10,000 amazing viewers, there is always one douche bucket like you keeping that torch burning. Keep it going brother!
@@DeathfromAboveWargaming I'm sorry that you're allergic to learning.
@Strill_ Maybe one day you’ll be relevant.
Great battle. Too much armour to beat Aaron. Nice try. 😅
You know I love my pips!!!
I am sure you have been asked this a bunch. What are your cameras?
I say the Davion have a strategic victory while Draconis Combine a tactical victory atleast in terms of destroyed mechs
Dragon's Tongue not Tail
Tomato, tomahto.
Cause the Dracs "Licked em real good" 😂.
Well the Dracs turned TAIL 😂
People in Fed Suns space call it the tail.
DIE DIRTY DRACS! 😂
Currently watching this now to pass the time for Mech 5 clans to download, as of commenting this now I’m already rooting for the Dracs only because there’s a Marauder on the field 😂 I don’t know who wins or if the Marauder even survives but I’m hoping 😂
Haha enjoy MW5 Clans!!! Thanks for watching.
It's not "hussers", it's "huh-sar". Go listen to Sabaton's song "Winged Hussars".
I mean... if you are going to be pedantic, the term Hussar changed pronunciation several times between the 15th and 17th centuries as it spread across European militaries. Even today there are several different pronunciations, including Huu-ZAR and who-SRR. And that's just in the english and germanic languages.
I suspect that in a thousand years time, in space, in an imaginary universe, in a multiple planet/language/culture empire ruled by tech barbarians whose right to rule is primarily determined by being good at fighting rather than ruling, we might say it differently again.
More importantly, excellent battle report and awesome table as always.
@niallboyd7456 thank you!!
Absolutely love that you actually use the in universe ranks of the Draconis Combine
