A Marik Heavy Recon Lance cautiously enters a battle ruined city unaware of the ambush they are walking into. House Steiner's 13th Donegal Guard waits for the enemy to stumble into the kill box.

Based and primed my first platoon of infantry for BattleTech. Six man squads because eight to a base was too crowded.

Got the table set up for Friday's Alpha Strike game. The Steiner campaign against House Marik continues. Control the city of Pia. Both sides are bound to avoid collateral damage. #AlphaStrike

You can always kit bash your own gun emplacements. Besides the price, the scale looks off to me. They look a little too big. Maybe it's just me.

A painted miniature of a Wasp 'Mech.  It is light ash gray, and the cockpit glass is dark red.  It is posed as if dashing.  Some of its legs are obscured from view by a knee-high gray concrete wall.  An oil drum and tire are next to the wall.  The dragon emblem of the Draconis Combine is on its right torso.  The emblem of the Genyosha, a black wave, is on the left torso.  Thin black stripes decorate its shoulders.  The miniature is photographed on grassy terrain.

Started a game of BattleTech Alpha Strike with my nephew.
Got 5 turns in. We plan to continue at a later date. I created a most excellent scenario for Scotty and I to battle out.
It was a glorious time!!!

My kitty scooched across my entire BattleTech Alpha Strike table set up and did not knock over a single piece of terrain. Not a fucking one.
He is a black magic man. Yes his coat really is that silky.

Along with a point value for each planetary system. Your capital was worth 5 economic points and every other system worth 1. Scout ships cost 2 points/1 turn to build etc. That kept things interesting and spicy.

We would all participate in battles so when the Federation and Klingons went at it we'd get picked for a side and the side with the bigger fleet would get 3 players. We also home brewed some rules for ship yards (capital system and star bases) came up with point value/cost for each ship class.

You've seen that Peter Cushing wargaming meme, now see the source. Nine hours of wargaming in a pub with Grand Moff Tarkin sounds like a bit o' heaven. I bet he would have loved BattleTech.

3 months. Long ago my friends and I played a massive campaign using Federation Space for fleet movements and Starfleet Battles rules and SSD's for ship to ship combat. It took all summer. 5 players total. It was glorious. Weekly sessions lasting on average 6 hours. One sitting? 8 hours, BattleTech.
