    ERRATA: In this video, I referred to Dafydd and myself as "very responsible men in our 30s."
    Dafydd would like to point out that he is, in fact, 28.
    Guy would like to point out that he is, in fact, not very responsible.

      The best thing about the Steiner Scout Lance joke is that Steiner commanders are mostly incompetent rich assholes, so it makes *perfect* sense that they'd pick a mech that seems intimidating when it's really useless in practice. It'll rip your arms off... eventually... if you stop moving...

    Let me add my voice to the choir asking for a large-scale Timber Wolf next! It's only fair to paint the most iconic Clan mech to pair off against the most iconic Inner Sphere mech. Imagine the rules too: 40 frag missiles, three lascannons, two heavy lascannons, and two heavy stubbers. And that's just the Prime variant... The TBR-D would come with two plasma decimators and 24 Krak missiles, a dozen facing forwards and another facing backwards

  • @tychoMX
    @tychoMX Před rokem +4

    Being of an older vintage myself, I have a huge soft spot for 'Mechs. And related to that specific vintage, my favourite is the Mad Cat / Timber Wolf. It was a fun game where as your mech got hit you filled up damage slots until bits became non-operational.
    Worst was when your cooling system got damaged. Then you were really screwed!
    This turned out great - thank Guy and everyone at Midwinter!

    I love it!! I switched from a brief stint of 40K in 1991 back to Battletech as it was too hard to get me and my impoverished friends into 40K & Battletech clearly had better rules and game system in place. In fact it was remarkably balanced system for creating your own custom mech with sweet spots around every 15 tons or so between movement/heat/bigger guns.
