I feel like I'm looking at me at christmas when I was 12 ROFL. Super positive.

@SleeplessRonin 4 ай бұрын

@Mechjock I think one of the reasons we do Kickstarters is to relive that feeling. They take so long to arrive that it is like a little Xmas for yourself.

Nice. Glad you got it early to do the unboxing, fella. Great vid as always 👍

I was really thrilled. I'm very used to being at the end of a lot of Kickstarters, so it was a very nice change. Now I just hope everyone else gets theirs in so that we can all enjoy even more Battletech.

Totally jealous and I'll admit it! I signed on the second the Kickstarter opened. I have a feeling I'll be waiting a while. BTW-thank you very much for showing the little image to the right showing what was in each box as you showed it. I can't remember what was in each one and that small detail edited in is another reason why I think your videos are of a higher quality then most. Thanks for adding a little more content for our hobby.

Here I thought I was crazy getting one of everything from the ks and big plays over here got two of each! Sleepless Ronin single handedly subsidized our hobby.

@SleeplessRonin 5 ай бұрын

To be fair I run large campaigns and tend to provide all the mechs, so having multiples of everything is really useful.

It's my favorite way of playing! Collective story telling, the players are working towards goals, and I can create all sorts of fun missions.

@doomedwit1010 5 ай бұрын

And they don't have to be balanced or fair. So can be very flexible. Not that you can't do unbalanced and fun with friends ("Can a Nova eat 4 griffin 1Ns? Let's find out!). But I like stakes beyond win/lose. But at the same time it's also fun to encourage suboptimal play. But very hard to find people with the time and ... it's not the same online.

I amortized costs over time. Double Battalion + Extras. And yeah, just opening all the boxes, getting the mechs out and separating all the stuff for recycling took way too long. I've only primed a small batch... can't wait to start painting.

@greydeathangel 5 ай бұрын

@@SleeplessRonin From what I've been told it is pretty much random on who gets their stuff going forward. Before (the test run) was smaller more common orders (orders that had similar requests). I really hope that I'll be getting them before the end of the month or next....will be waiting on those spinny clips. You might've lucked out on the IS battle armor, seems that a lot of folks are getting badly casted versions in their pledges.

@@Veheloth Yeah it's annoying. I don't think you got anything for being a early bird pledger since most of the stuff they said were early bird could've been added as pledge add ons afterwards. Not 100percent sure we got anything for being early birds. And now we are waiting randomly for are pledges to ship. Worst if your not in the US as they're still setting up the shipping for them.

still waiting on mine. probably will be in wave 3 or 4. just a battalion and thus missing some of the lances in the kickstarter lineup and only got 1 of each of the lineup I got but still will be quite good and a massive growth from my current 3 lances worth of mechs

Hi. If you just play battletech alpha strike what five boxes would you say is a must get.

@SleeplessRonin 4 ай бұрын

Top 5 for AS: 1. Somerset Strikers because if you use pilots, you get Adam Steiner. 2. Mercenaries Box 3. Clan Cav Star (if you play clans) 4. Battlefield Support: Rifle and Command 5. Battlefield Support: Battle and Fire The Battlefield Support packs just give you a lot more stuff since you get 8 vees per pack. The other choices would be the two Legendary Mechwarriors packs.

HAHA, not familiar with the later years past 3060 but it's nice to see from the map that the Combine decided to do the war of 3039 to the federated suns and succeeded! They took everything back from the jags extended a little south into Davion space and also has a salient deep into their space. kzbin.info/www/bejne/en2nloqNntyeY5o Seems the combine was the only ones that gained, albeit only slightly more territory vs everyone else losing territory from the original houses. Oh so has Lio, good, them guys have always been the punching bags of the early BattleTech lore!

The Combine is the only house to ever take the capitol world of another house. They lost it due to politics, but not before ransacking it hard! Old Hanse's Battlemaster is on display on Luthien!

@@lexington476 I don't think's scamming. I think people don't realize how incredible modern logistics is or hard random custom crap like this is. Everything I've seen is that any kickstarter with 25,000 unique orders consisting of dozens or hundreds of unique items, comung from (dozens?) Of suppliers (books vs plastics vs coins vs dice are I think all manufactured by different people and contractors) is very expensive shipping. There are some scams but mostly companies seem to get in over their heads. People should treat kickstarter like gambling. Don't spend what you can't afford to lose.
