BATTLETECH Part 3! Lancers vs Wolf Empire | Escape From Dagda | Override Battle Report | ilClan Era

The 21st Centauri Lancers race to the McKinney Spaceport to deliver their target of interest to an awaiting merchant vessel, ready to jump from the system.
However, assault elements from the Wolf Empire anticipated this move and have already begun their approach. Their mission is simple: dismantle any critical infrastructure to prevent any and all ships from escaping.
With no other options, a lance of brave Lancers forms a crucial rear guard, in hopes to defend the spaceport long enough for the dropship to escape into orbit…

Wow... that gaming table is beyond amazing!

[@FireflyMyLife]

That dropship is AMAZING. The paintjob reminds me of a work by the great John Harris.

[@DeathfromAboveWargaming]

Check out our review of it! It is a great model for sure!!

[@enginesoul119]

"It's a beaut, Clark. " 😂 Men of a certain age is a thing. 👍 And awesome table and mission, as always!

[@enginesoul119]

PS And stoked about seeing a Dire Wolf in play. My fav mech since I read the Jade Phoenix trilogy when I was like 15.

[@DeathfromAboveWargaming]

“Thanks Dad, you taught me everything I know about exterior illumination” LOL Dire Wolf is a monster! A fantastic design and a flavorful one too. Terrifying but also not cheesy like some other clan loadouts.

[@enginesoul119]

@DeathfromAboveWargaming I watch that movie every Christmas. And, perhaps, overdo the exterior illumination of my own home.

[@DeathfromAboveWargaming]

@enginesoul119 love it! Never gets old!!

[@zesicarius]

Amazing gaming table !

[@shaneflickinger]

That new scenery is so good. I'm a sucker for airfield buildings for some reason. Thanks for the quick, brutal game. Still getting used to the ilclan ultra-killer tech, makes the game go so fast.

[@Trajann]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES THE REGENT APPEARS I hate to admit it but it had FAST become one of my favorite mechs of all time. It looks AMAZING - like a Hunchback and a Hauptmann made sweet love and made whatever a Regent is. Its weapons are excellent at all ranges of engagement; and the armour is ugh. I hate to admit that a clan mech stole my heart as bad as the Regent did but I do not think I haven't taken it yet after piloting it once.

[@DeathfromAboveWargaming]

LMAOOOO totally a hunchback/hauptman love child !!!! I’ll never unsee it!

[@Trajann]

@@DeathfromAboveWargaming also so very few clan mechs have the straight legs.... BAH - like I said I feel so filthy putting a clan mech in my top 5 mechs but.... UGH look at it XD

[@matthewneuendorf5763]

Love those 'Mech-scale dropships. They are beautiful. Torso armor feels a little thin. Chapter 2: Liao has been positioning against the Wolf Empire in anticipation of attacking Terra. They want to VIP because the Maskirovka thinks he's got knowledge about Alaric's defenses on Earth, and they want to deny potential reinforcements from getting to Terra prior to their inevitable assault. As a bonus, if they rescue some 21st Centauri Lancers POWs, then they can try to get a favorable contract with the unit, freeing up additional House forces for their attacks against Wolf holdings.

[@DeathfromAboveWargaming]

Oooo tasty plotline! I like it!!!

[@stephenyates1415]

What an amazing battlefield. I think it's your best yet.

[@braedentrefethen5437]

Yay, more Ben! Glad to see you back!

[@brianhenry152]

Another fantastic battle report! I absolutely love the terrain setup on this one. Related to the MW5 Clans trailer release this week, any chance of a return to 3050 for a showdown between the Dracs and the Jags? Definitely some hrutal action there!

[@alphawolf2993]

thanks for playing the best soundtrack in the world haha.

[@DeathfromAboveWargaming]

I agree!!

[@josephpince4716]

I heard the drums around the 30:00 mark. It took me back.

[@BazztheBazz]

Really loving these Override batreps!

[@sebastiang.5032]

Yeah, they are the best!!!

[@tabletopsidekick]

Override got me and my friends into BT after a VERY clunky attempt with Classic. Thanks so much for working on it.

[@DeathfromAboveWargaming]

Glad you are enjoying it!!

[@Zanibar]

These paint jobs are FANTASTIC!!

[@DeathfromAboveWargaming]

Thanks!

[@Heckibrd]

Ideas on continuing the campaign is that the last awesome pilot is captured and spills information on their employer either Steiner or Clan sea fox and wolf sends out their best to deal with them on another world

[@DeathfromAboveWargaming]

Ooo sea fox! I like it!

[@delaneyalusa]

Nice Layout, really nice dropships

[@danielwooldridge630]

A much looked forward to part of the week to be able to watch a DFA battle report! Thank you DFA Team!

[@DeathfromAboveWargaming]

Thanks for watching 👍👍👍

[@MathewJC25]

These are the best. Always a good day to see these.

[@DeathfromAboveWargaming]

Thanks!!

[@sebastiang.5032]

Whooooooop Override is in da house!!!! ❤😮

[@jaredl977]

Amazing board, fun game. Also, side note, It would be super neat for the opening mech forces intro/scroll to include the mech's armament.

[@sebastiang.5032]

This must be the best terrain setup ever!

[@Anthony-ve3dy]

It is a suicide mission to save one guy. That can only mean one thing and that is the identity of that one guy is Matt Damon in the 31st century. 😂

[@DeathfromAboveWargaming]

!!!! Dunkings of the 32nd* Century

[@onomatopoeia7505]

The Battletech Identity Ocean's Eleven Battlemechs We bought a Zeus ... Ok I'll stop

[@duanewong1527]

Matt Damon was so successful as an actor, rumored his descendent is casted by the Tharkad Broadcasting Company to play as Adam Steiner in live-action Battletech show

[@Bdakkon]

Love seeing BT played.

[@Kanas83]

Paired Grasshoppers yass

[@MPS1969]

First off, this was another misdirection. The 21st picked up the VIP at another point. However... The 21st were not expecting to have issues with the black ops insertion, recovery and lift off. While Clan Wolf was mostly looking to prevent at the space port. Some scouts on regular recon, a sibco on training maneuvers in the general vicinity watched the small dropship come down...

[@DeathfromAboveWargaming]

Ooo love it!!! I can hear the ominous music playing in the background 😄

[@MPS1969]

@DeathfromAboveWargaming ...more storyline bubbling away in my head... 😂

[@DeathfromAboveWargaming]

@MPS1969 hey feel free to email it! Maybe we’ll shamelessly steal/adopt some ideas 😄

[@brycie35]

Great battle report, keep them coming. Was your new HEXTECH Aeroplex Buildings printed in colour? Or were they painted? They look great!

[@DeathfromAboveWargaming]

Those are the 3D prints from Thunderhead - keep your eyes out for a dedicated review!

[@derekburge5294]

The distant rumble of battle shook the Pieru homestead, setting the windchime to tinkling. The elderly couple in rocking chairs on the porch didn't even spare the flashes on the horizon a moment of attention. "Sounds like dem wolf boys are havin' themselves a scuffle 'gain," the grizzled Eustace said. "... Wha?" Mildred replied sleepily. She rubbed at her eyes and cupped a hand around her ear. "I ain't hear'ed nothin'." Eustace laughed, though anyone observing might be forgiven for believing the noise was a hacking cough. "You ain't heard nothin' for twenty years!" The old lady swatted her husband on the arm causing another fit of hacking laughter. "Shut yer gob, ya ol' buzzard." She spent a moment listening to the battle go back and forth for a moment before grunting. "Ain't a scuffle. Can't ya hear th' difference 'tween Clan an' IS lasers?" Eustace simply shrugged. "Didn't wanna assume nothin' this far. Somethin' got gauss though." Mildred nodded as her husband took a pull on his pipe before continuing, "Betcha it's tha Mad Dog C they got." Mildred's nod shifted into a negatory shake. "Nah. Same mech got pulse lasers too." "Dire Wolf... B was it?" Another swat to the arm. "Eustace Pieru, it's a darn good thing I din't marry ya for yer brains. The A variant got dat gauss rifle." "Pah. Dem new Clan machines ain't worth spit what with dem XL engines." He spat on the porch. "Why, back in my day-" "Yes yes, dear heart, an Awesome used ta only hav' three PPCs." "As blessed Blake intended!" The old married couple drifted into silence as the battle wore on and they watched the sunset through the ever-present haze of methane production.

[@DeathfromAboveWargaming]

Beautiful! You are a talented writer!! You should submit to Shrapnel. Not joking!! Good stuff!!!

[@derekburge5294]

@@DeathfromAboveWargaming Appreciated, but nah. CGL can't afford me.

Why is Aaron wearing denim jeans and not his signature woodland camo cargo shorts?

[@misterbeeps]

New merch drop.

Haha you guys don’t miss a thing! 😂😂😂

[@roewedge]

How dare you Aaron

[@onomatopoeia7505]

Otherwise we wouldn't see him. That's how camo works 😉

[@jamesstricklerii5384]

Would love to see the 21st centauri lancers getting jailbroke by another faction, with Clan wolf holding them 😊

[@DwarfElvishDiplomacy]

I really would love to see a narrative battle collab with the guys from Alpha Strike but seeing how they are from down under i guess it will never happen 😢

[@DeathfromAboveWargaming]

That is an expensive plane ticket!!

[@HouseMasterPoDing]

Nice to see this one finished up! Wolf Jesus is strong! And no capellan jokes either. This is a new leaf for the channel!

[@DeathfromAboveWargaming]

All praise the wolf jeebus! Lol

[@jacobmccarthy655]

Actually were getting a prepainted savage Wolf at the end of the year

[@Heckibrd]

That ain't a dropship that's a dripship cause it is looking nice

[@andrewbuhagiar2663]

The VIP was an adult film star who had blackmail material on the new wolf ilKhan.

[@DeathfromAboveWargaming]

LMFAO too good. Stormy Steiner.

[@Ichaerus]

@Death From Above Wargaming: I can see it now. Aaron is musing before BatRep video, and one of his thoughts is, "How can we get Ichaerus to watch the BatRep and comment? I know! I will put Arkham Bridge as one of the tracks(the opening track), and field Wolf Empire forces!" Sure enough, that has to be what happened. Even better, was praise to the ilKhan and First Lord of Star League IIC, Wolf Jesus himself, the great Alaric Ward. Ben is a good sport, and definitely swung for the fences with his 'Mechs with heavy hits and downing the Star Colonel(which ranks higher than a Star Captain and a Star Commander. Star Colonels are usually in command of a Cluster. Star Captains will typically command a binary or trinary. Star Commander will lead a Star.), nearly bringing down the Dire Wolf as well. Elementals doing a touchdown dance after the battle resolved completes a good day. A Wolf day, a good day indeed, for Death From Above Wargaming Wednesday.😁🐺

[@DeathfromAboveWargaming]

As a certified German I can attest that 'Zellbrigen' isn't a German word. 😜

Sounds like it's from the Netherlands and its about beer
