BATTLETECH: In the Shadow of the Dragon Review
The #DraconisCombine faces internal problems in the late #DarkAge, just on the cusp of the #Ilclan era. The book, In The Shadow of the Dragon, puts all of this on display through a unique Crime-Drama.
Here is my review of House #Kurita 's latest novel in the #Battletech Universe.
The book is written by Craig A. Reed. A link to said book, which releases today, will be in the top pinned comment.
The soundtrack in this video, was made by @audaciouscues7219, and was used with permission.

BATTLETECH: Land-Air-Mechs Are Lame
zhlédnutí 17KPřed 14 dny
A video I'm glad to finally be done with, this will be the only piece on this subject I intend to create. The #LAM is a left-over from an earlier time in the history of #Battletech, harkoning back to the days of #Macross / #Robotech. Well, I'm going to go over why I personally can't stand them, won't play against them, and think they're generally bad for the setting. The #Ubanmech #LAM is hopef...
BATTLETECH: The Bushwacker
zhlédnutí 34KPřed 21 dnem
The face of Technical Readout 3058, and a breakout #Battlemech from #Mechwarrior3, #Mechwarrior4, and #Mechwarrior in general, the #Bushwacker is a fantastic product of the #FederatedCommonwealth, and has a long history of production, and use in the field. So, let's go over its origins, which surprisingly begin in the #SuccessionWars era, and then into the #ClanInvasion, before heading into the...
Mechwarrior 5: Clans News

Another trailer has dropped for #Mechwarrior5Clans, and this time it gives us an insight into a bit more of the storyline, as well as a few brief glimpses of gameplay. We also got its release date, which is pretty awesome. So, I'm pretty excited overall. And let's go over what we learned, and what I'm hyped for. A link to the trailer will be in the top pinned comment. #Mechwarrior5 #Mechwarrior...
BATTLETECH: Quad Battlemechs

It is finally here. The #Quad #Battlemech video has arrived, going over the origins, and history, of the work of Dr. David Harrison, and the companies who worked with him, as they created 4-legged Battlemechs. From the #AgeofWar, through to the #StarLeague, into the #ClanInvasion, #Blakist era, #DarkAge, and #Ilclan era, these machines have roamed the #InnerSphere and #Clan space. Every great H...
BATTLETECH: Without Question
zhlédnutí 4,2KPřed 2 měsíci
The follow-up to A Question of Survival, Without Question is an #Iclan era Novel, taking another step following #ClanJadeFalcon in their struggles in the #Hinterlands after their collapse, due to their loss on Terra. So, let's see how this #Clan Novel holds up. The new era needs solid Clan fiction if its going to stick to its premise, and is Without Question going to be that? This video has a s...
BATTLETECH: The Gunslinger
zhlédnutí 19KPřed 2 měsíci
The #Gunslinger is truly a monster amongst #Mechs. This brutal #Clanbuster is one of the first of its kind, at least made by the Great Houses. The #FederatedCommonwealth, and #DraconisCombine, or rather, #HouseSteiner, #HouseDavion, and #HouseKurita came together during the #ClanInvasion to stop their mutual enemy, the #Clans themselves, and eventually began codeveloping machines too. Whether i...
BATTLETECH: Hungry Like the Wolf
zhlédnutí 3,5KPřed 2 měsíci
There are few that know the secrets behind the #Ilkhan of the #Ilclan, #AlaricWard. Master of the #DarkAge and bringer of the new era. But in the world of #Battletech, there are battles that take place in the mind, and even in the heart! #HungryLikeTheWolf is one such example of this. Truly, one of the greatest #ClanWolf stories of our time. There are several links in the description to help yo...

Well, after #Kerensky Kon, an event I was at this year just prior to #Adepticon, the #Battlemech forcepack roadmap came out on multiple platforms.

    I just got into your channel. I played mechwarrior 2 and had some battletech toys. I got into 40k a few years ago and am starting to get into battletech lore.

    Great video as always Big Red! A couple thoughts: - I’ve been reading through all the novels because I have chosen to not have a life, and recently finished Robert Thurston’s novel Freebirth which features some LAMs. I thought it was an interesting approach to LAMs: essentially, Clan scientists were trying to mess around with LAMs to see if there was any use for them. But they found that they were too mechanically complex and all-but-completely unreliable. Horse and friends won a battle on Huntress against some Smoke Jags using a LAM, which (spoilers) they ultimately used as a guided cruise missile because all other uses failed. I kind of like this approach to the lore and wish the rules reflected this: a weird and terrible Star League invention that simply does not work except as a guided cruise missile that may not even work because every minute risks mechanical failure. - In my previous career, I was a very, very, very minor military historian. I did a bit of a deep dive into American attempts at close air support in the European Theater of Operations. The conclusion was that virtually all close air support was all-but-ineffective as the air jocks were going too fast to be able to accurately identify friendly vs enemy forces which led to unacceptable friendly fire casualties (in particular, before OP Cobra, where the US Air Force killed well over 100 US infantrymen and even a general). Post-battle analysis also found that a lot of the “kills” against tanks/armored vehicles airmen claimed were either just temporary mobility kills or just scratched the armor and that they’d been destroyed by infantry with bazookas, anti-tank guns, mines, or other armored vehicles. I think this could be the other way I could get behind LAMs-they go so fast that you have to roll to see who you hit, and you might end up doing damage to your own forces and any damage they do end up doing is greatly reduced. Anyway, keep up the great work! It’s always a joy to watch your holovids!

    Personally I am not BattleTech(PC game never tried tabletop) fan and if not BattleTech PC game. I would never known that battlemech and MechWarrior was part of it. A and that MechWarrior is just part of bigger game universe. In my childhood was just Mechwarrior 3 game and later MechCommander 2 games. So I was exited about MWO and MW5, but I am glad that these game came out after so long wait and rekindled interest in universe for tabletop and pc. Not sure how was in your region but there I grow darker tabletop and card games Like BattleTech or 40K was basically unknown for general public. It is great that table top community managed to grab opportunity and basically revive franchise. As PC gamer that seen many great IP killed over years this give me some hope that I see any of them revived.

    All things considered, in the essence, Flashman is its SLDF config is basically a more mid-to-close range oriented, faster Black Knight. And this is pretty terrifying.

    This video was fantastically captivating, and helped me to decide what to finally paint my clanners as. Smoke Jaguar is the one for me, and thanks to BR40T for giving me the idea.
