Just started dipping my toe into BT. This video was excellent, really well explained! Catalyst's web site is a mess, very difficult to parse out what you should actually be using or where to start. Videos like this are really helpful, thanks!

Thanks! I'm glad you like it. Really to get started I would get the Box of Armored Combat and either the Battlemech Manual or Total Warfare. The difference between the two is that Total Warfare has rules for most units other than Battlemechs and the Manual just focuses on Battlemechs. Total Warfare/Battlemech Manual are the base rules. The next more advanced book is Tactical Operations. Really, with those two items you can play the game. I would recommend getting a Record Sheet program, I personally love Solaris Skunk Werks. UI is so easy to navigate compared to others.

@@BenA718 The next part is deciding which mechs to use, check out the Ironwind Metals webstore for all those minis. I mostly pick the mechs I like the look of, then pick one of the numerous variants available for them.

You do a fantastic job teaching the basics of game with your videos!!! Could you Please, Please do the same for the lam and aerospace rules (minus the space stuff).

It would be awesome if you had videos on some of the more complex elements of BT. Aerospace, campaigns, ect. There is a lack of any video information on the web past basic mech playing. Keep up the good work!

Didn't see anything on Crit transfers. If a location at the start of a round takes a critical hit, the critical will transfer similar to armor damage, An arm crit with no available slots will transfer to the torso and the critical will affect that location

Can you please go over some of the construction mechanics of BattleTech? That would be extremely helpful!
@agamelift5 жыл бұрын
What specifically were you thinking for construction? I do use solaris skunk werks and sometimes megameklab to build my mechs and record sheets.

What if there is nothing in the spot and it got a crit does it transfer.
@agamelift5 жыл бұрын
Yes, if critical hits are rolled against that location it transfers internally if there is nothing for the critical hit to impact, damaging critical slots in the next location inward.

Fiber-ous. the armor is not made of lies so it is not called Fib-erous.
