Solid movie awesome cast, the topic has been relevant since it came out, 8/10. Other movies you might want to check out of the same genre, Seven Days in May, On the Beach, Twilight's Last Gleaming, The Day After, and my personal favorite, The Bedford Incident. Once Upon a Time in The West, 10/10. Thanks for sharing.

Catalyst released a newsletter today that indicates the regular Mercenaries Salvage boxes (and several other items) will go up for sale this month. They will be $7.99 (MSRP). There will also be Battlefield Support Salvage Boxes for $11.99 (MSRP). I didn't get any of those from the Kickstarter so no unboxing videos as of yet from me, but I believe those are the vehicle salvage boxes and I believe they are supposed to have 2 vehicles (not sure if 2 of the same vehicle like the Force Packs).

the 'bug' mechs, are given the name due to the name of the mech: Locust Wasp Stinger Spider Cicada Spider Grasshopper Tarantula Scorpion Firebee Firefly Flea Dragonfly Firemoth Hornet Stalking spider Fire scorpion Glass spider it's a long list and has mechs from every weight class. during the initial release of TRO 3025, there were several recognized by name as being both light and fast. but, over time, that stigma has changed.

the biggest mistake CGL can make with Battletech - make faction specific units and/or faction specific rules. the greatest strength of the game, the rules are universal for everyone. and literally, everything is available to everyone - always! the only limitation is, newer era units are not available to older era's of history. even that, I get around by declaring the item as a prototype.

@geekcabal2599 since I haven't seen the actual books yet, and you have, I hope you are correct. this is a story-line based IP. while it is a war game, it is not directed at tournament play. this is the area that most 40k players cannot distinguish between the two games.

Yep! Adam Steiner became Archon and his children and grandchildren after him for better or worse! After Peter Steiner-Davion 's only child Hanse Steiner -Davion was unfit to rule due mental disablilities. With the ascension of Melissia Steiner to the Archon throne it was definitely worse (first time a Steiner was replaced by a totally non-Steiner=Vedette Brewer)! Ironically, she was eventually succeeded by Trillian Steiner-Davion, the daughter of Hanse Steiner-Davion who so many Lyran Purity fanatics considered unfit for his Davion bloodlines as well as his mental disabilities! Even worse was how Adam's 1st Somerset Striker Kuritan Kamerad Franklyn Sakamoto's(AKA Kurita Franklyn) great grand daughter Kurita Yori became the Coordinator of The Draconis Combine. Basically, Toranaga Matsuhara, the ruthless Gunjan No-Kanrei (Shogun) of the Combine wiped out the legitimate Coordinator and his heirs and placed her on the throne.

There's a MechWarrior Dark Age book, Technology of Destruction (looks like a coffee table book). I remember when it came out and in the sidenotes where it covered the timeline up to that point it mentioned Adam Steiner becoming the Archon. I think some people were surprised he actually existed in canon and not just in the cartoon. I knew Toranaga put Yuri on the throne but I guess I didn't know about her background. I will have to read up on that.

If you can paint, their unpainted products are cheaper. We are doing unboxings of other types of terrain if you want to check out those videos. There are cheaper options out there. They may not be as detailed or as virtually indestructible as Dwarven Forge, but they aren't bad.

Highlander, outstanding movie 9/10, soundtrack 10/10. The final fight scene is great, and the sweeping camera work is unique. Highlander 2, terrible, 2/10. I haven't seen any of the other movies, Highlander 2 killed my desire to go further. Didn't know about the animated series and the anime movie.
