I just found out some online stores are selling a version of the Hextech terrain that is 3D printed but the cool part is they match up with the hills on the paper maps Catalyst released. So you can get "Badlands 1" hills.
Started painting up my first ever set of Battletech minis this morning after being inspired at GenCon, and lo and behold here's some Battletech gameplay! Love it when things line up like that. Thanks for all you do Ash!
New to the TTP version of BattleTech! Vet of the PC games and that sit in a pod with the joysticks and puddles and buttons and play BattleTech multiplayer at the arcade thingy way back in the 90's! Just have to say, reading manuals over and over does help but watching you guys just hang out and shoot the mechs was the best way to learn the TTP game! So thanks guys 07
Love CBT! I’m 20 minutes into the video, and noticed that you fire your smaller weapons first. The optimal way to do it is to fire the big damage guns fist to strip the armor, and then the small ones, hoping to get into the juicy innards opened up by the bigger hits.
So here's an interesting idea to play. You and your opponent choose one mech from the opposing side to salvage. Winning side gets to take and KEEP the figure his enemy lost after the match is over. True method of salvage. This also adds to some more careful planning and execution of plans. :)
By the way, the Penetrator is a new Catalyst sculpt from the Hansen's Rough riders box and has not appeared in any other Lance boxes yet. The Snord's Irregulars has a Guillotine that is also in the Comstar Battle Level II box set.
So this is BattleTech I'm intrigued but there's a lot of stuff I'm trying to wrap myself around lol so when buying the monos are they all the same or there actual faction specific minis?
There are effectively 3 'lists' (for lack of a better way to frame it): 1. Inner Sphere 2. Clans 3. Comstar Within each of those list there are dozens (or in the case of the Inner Sphere hundreds) of themed factions. There no real rigid lists. If you want to play and you're trying to decide what to go with check out Google Battletech factions and you will open a door to 40 years of lore and history.
Also as an aside the mercenary force I'm currently building uses models from all 3 force types so collecting models for the game can be pretty forgiving.
Cyclops was also a rank in the KKK (or at least Grand Cyclops and Exalted Cyclops were). Ironically, it is the Inner Sphere which ended up with the Cyclops and the Grand Dragon, not the Clans.
If you like to speed up the matches do double or triple range all weapons... The old days OG no hex big maps terrain we ran triple all the time made game fast \dynamic.
I like how yall explained your rolls. Handy for us new guys.
Yeah I really appreciate when it's explained
Pulse laser have a -2 to target number to hit so all those 8s hits for jay
Ash and Jay playing BattleTech is always comedy gold. The terrain collaboration between HexTech and Gale Force 9 is brilliant.

Always good to see the classic battletech getting a spin. Great terrain too!

I think that's okay, you just need to declare firing cluster damage weapons last
Also if you are using Long Range Weapons with ammunition, get rid of the ammunition to prevent critical ammunition hits later on. 😁
TBT-5N, I'm looking at you!@@ProBloggerWorld
@@emperor1337 Hehe! My ARC-2W is waiting for you. 😃
I was going to say Archer too! But most recently, it was the Treb lol@@ProBloggerWorld
Just leaving a message to bump the algorithm I hope.
I'm always glad to see a game of BattleTech! Thanks for the video. :)
Classic battletech is so awesome! Love the upload thanks !
Love Classic Battletech keep it up :)
Love that classic B-tech
I’m so glad I wasn’t the only one thinking of that song by Snow
"I'm going to shoot you with everything, forever" - never change guys! Great fun, thanks.
Always here for CBT :)
As always, love the content! Let the mercenaries duke it out, the houses will swoop in unopposed...
Love these Classic Battletech Battle Reports
Jay didn’t realise that his hatchetmans autocannon was a rotary autocannon so he could have fired up to 6 shots per turn
Unfortunately Jay forgets many things.
If they're playing 3050-3055 no rotary AC
@@richardolierii5419 he was playing a 6d which has the rac
@verysilentmouse yeah I realized that at the end. Sorry about that
Doesn't it use a cluster table to determine the number of hits?
That terrain is really, really nice for Battletech
Always going to thumbs up for CBT..
I think pulse and LBX weapons have bonuses to hit.
Lbx cluster rounds have a -1 target number pulse lasers have a -2 target number to hit
Pulse are -2 to hit LbX cluster is -1

The gyro hit on the penetrator made it automatically fall bc shutdown and automatically take pilot damage so the pilot wouldn’t have woken up
6:58 But does he have any cyclops friends?
Yay classic battletech
Ash and Jay are Battletech Dynamite! 😍

The Snord box is amazing! It also includes a new variant Highlander!
Another excellent video!👏👏👏😄 Ash, Jay and BattleTech. What more needs be said?
Jay made mistake with jumping penalty its +3 to hit for the jumping mech not +1
Saw that... some time in MegaMek games and the rules will be super clear
I was wondering what paint you used for your wolf dragoons I've been looking for one like it

Jumping Atlas thats a scary thought...lol
Immobilised shut down mech are 4 easier to hit
Cyclops was also a rank in the KKK (or at least Grand Cyclops and Exalted Cyclops were). Ironically, it is the Inner Sphere which ended up with the Cyclops and the Grand Dragon, not the Clans.
They don't seem to be adding the attacker movement modifier (+2 if you ran, +1 if you walked...)?
Where do you all get your buildings and accessories from?
Do you have a link to the Defiance Industries website for the decals?

Hi.
Would like to know where did you get your movement templates for battletech alpha strike.
And what the name of the templates
Ah yes, my favorite heat philosophy. If they gave me all these weapons and shiny heat table I’m damn sure gonna use all of it! 😂
Stringer Pilot after being thought KIA finds his way back to his team to take the Helm of their newly acquired Mech. Hatchetman will pay.
Okay im going to get that G9 terrain.
where did you get the battle mat you were using? I've been looking for a blank mat to use with 3d terrain similar to what you did in this battle.
It’s an official BT one but I don’t think it’s available for sale yet
Was it from the mercenaries kickstarter?
Slight mistake on SRM hits; SRM missiles do 2 damage per, and each needs its own hit location. Only LRMs are counted in groups of 5 + extra.
Where can I find these roads and hills?
They’re from Gale Force Nine!
@@GuerrillaMiniatureGames Let me look again. I can't find them. I see the buildings.
Jay is the best opponent!
Are the streets HexTech or Gale Force 9?
Hextech!
Nice! Can you do a Crescent Hawks vs. WoB batrep/scenario?
I know one of us would be jazzed to do Crescent Hawks....
When you hit endo steel on a critical you keep rolling until you hit something important
If you run on roads you psr every hex face you turn. The spider should have made 5 more psrs that turn
I thought a crit to endosteel was a roll again.
I really do need another Penetrator.
Classic matchup
Play classic Hexless. 1” = 1 hex. Turns count hex sides, small straightedge helps.
Grand Dragon is an unfortunate name
39yr~ Battletech player here to say; Not all CBT-ers like to get 'Technical'. In fact I think half don't. [In my experience, for what it's worth..]
Oh man, 4/6-ing the Atlas?!?!?! C'mon, that's where Strategy & Tactics comes in. #Disappointed already... 😏

Sheesh you guys make A LOT of wrong calls and calculations. Like really basic things.
