    If I was in a losing situation...I'd just go hard and get super aggressive. Either clutch an amusing kill or get the game over faster.

    I find this way of playing is beneficial to the game for reason beyond allowing for an awesome underdog comeback. Playing this way often forces the player doing so to "expose his throat" in his risk, high reward gambits. Thus, if it doesn't pay off and the battlefield isn't leveled, the advantaged player can punish the underdog. This allows for games to end more rapidly and bombastically. This is, I have found, typically more fun and enjoyable for all parties than the games in which the disadvantaged player plays conservatively causing the game to drag out turn after turn in a slow grind towards an inevitable outcome.

    Personally, I panic and get demoralized 😂But great insight as usual. Your knowledge of the game is outstanding.

    I feel like this is a great tip that a lot of people don't get. For a lot of people, their natural instinct when they're losing is to play more cautiously, and playing like this feels like "throwing the game away" when the game is already lost unless you get wildly lucky.
    Another big way to increase variance is to start moving to generate higher TMMs for your opponent, even if it makes your hit numbers worse, because it adds another way for the dice to potentially go lucky in your favor.

    The other thing is group your fire on that big guy to one side- especially if there is a weak side with ammo or like a Griffin with all its guns on one side.
    This works too with kicks as a kick to a side will automatically hit a damaged leg.

      Yes, targeting one-sided mechs has greater upside!

    You should be spamming cluster out of your LB-Xs from the get go , 1 point of damage to the head is still a hit on the pilot , 1 point of damage is enough for a through armour critical

    Great video, though it feels like it’s argued out of order. You make an incredibly cogent point at the end, sort of stating your thesis after you’ve worked through sub-points offered in defense of the core thought, “increase variance”.

      @TrailblazerBT that book is how I got into Battletech man, I was about 10 & there was a shelf in a thrift shop with loads of old BT novels. I fell in love with that cover art & the rest is history. I didn't even know it was a tabletop game or that the clans werent the main p.o.v characters for years! Great content btw, I stumbled on you the other day & subbed
