Finally finished the second to last mission. It was a real bottleneck for me until I created a lance to beat it.

Three Zeuses. All with 3 ML+++, one LRM 20+++ four LRM ammo, three JJ and assorted Rangefinders and TTS. One Awesome with 5 LL+++ and three JJ. It went down to the wire. I was sure I’d never make it in time. Last generator blown by Dekker jumping into range and hitting it with the LLs. Tense.

3087

Nice, but why the Zeus?

3088

I wanted something that could move faster than my usual lance that had a bunch of energy hardpoints and at least one missile hardpoint. Also decent armor. What would you have gone with?

3089

I was uninspired and went with the heaviest mechs I could find.
Two Crabs, one armed with 3 Large Lasers amd a few other weapons, the other with LRMs, an Altas with an AC 20 an AC 10, and some SRMs, and finally a Highlander with my Gaus Rifle, AC 5 and two Large Lasers.

Very much just the biggest mechs I could find, and hoped for the best.

I have one last mission to go but I am not sure what I will do after that.

3090

Yeah, same here.

3091

Looking forward to the tournament, even if we are using standard mechs.

3092

Honestly I always worry that I’ll embarrass myself in this kind of thing. But I’ll make it my duty to do the stock thing and maybe fail bigly. Then I’d go for the next level and build mechs.

3093

I think it will be a lot of fun, and since it’s turned based, no need to worry about clicking super fast.

3094

So I just got my first Atlas. Strange setup. I was doing a 4 1/2 skull mission just for the hell of it. When the Atlas showed up I did my usual thing. My KC with the 2 AC20+++ headshot. Boom! Down. I finished up and got the full salvage.

Later in the mech bay I discovered that it was my first. I thought I had at least one. Now I’m seeing them a lot.

3095

Guess what? Expansion incoming!

3096

You just beat me. Did you catch the new mech though? Looks like Hatchetts are in!

3097

sweet! more battletech is good battletech. BATTLETECH.

3098

Yeah. I wonder how they’re going to work the damage on that?

3099

Take my money NOW. I will purchase every piece of DLC on this product.

3100

This is awesome news!

I just got a little nerd judged by my wife. As I started watching the vid when I leapt out of my chair excitedly and exclaimed “Hatchetman!”

I may or may not have done a little happy dance as well.

3102

Did you say little happy dance?

3103

Can someone explain why Hatchmen are so exciting. It’s just a medium mech with an axe isn’t it?

3104

It’s a medium mech with a Hatchet!
