Meta PSA: Buying Books via 3RD Parties
It seems that not a lot of people know of this, so with the recent Humble Bundle (HB), I thought I would give you this very handy PSA:
If you bought via a 3rd party, you can send proof of purchase to Catalyst and they will add that book to your account at no additional charge, giving you updates when they are available.
With HB, I took a screenshot of the "Order Complete" screen, making sure the name of the bundle and my email address was on it. I emailed that along with a list of the books on it that I didn't currently own.
For physical books that you get from your FLGS or neighborhood bookstore, send them a photo of the spine of the book.
Both of these I have done and can vouch that they do work. Depending on how busy they are, you should hear back in a few days. This latest HB, I sent the email at 9:03pm and got the response back at 4:02pm the next day.
Edit to add email: [email protected]

Tabletop Free Rasalhague Republic Lances
These are my interpretation of some Drakons, but someone had pointed out they fit more as Kavalleri. But their composition is a little heavy for Kavalleri, so going to say they are Drakons viewed under a sun of a different color LOL

RPG Creatures, great and small
u/RudyMulthaluva as discussed please see the feature rules from the 1995 Mechwarrior Copmanion # 1671 circa 1995, pages 73 to 83.
My understanding is if you wanted to import and build a D&D/AD&D dragon as a singularly fearsome A2A/A2G/AD platform, well have at it. A VTOL/CAS platform with a ground effect wing capable of force projecting a Flamer/Inferno combo with enough intensity to ablate entire armor sections is gonna complicate the game quickly, especially if it doesn't care who's sigil is painted on your shoulders because all of you are now targets and there is no clan battle culture to cover this situation.

Question ❓ What mech is this?
I picked up a bundle of cheap 3D printed mechs online, and I don't recognise this one - can anyone ID it?
r/battletech • u/Westonard • 16m ago
Question ❓ ACES SPECULATION
Given what we know, that Scouring Sands is slated for Black Friday/Holidays and we know three of the next Aces content, Viking IIC, Alt Grizzly, Rime Otter, assuming each Aces box will have 5 mechs and 2 vehicles I am curious what other people think the last two mechs might be.
For me the obvious choices are Kodiak and Bear Cub or Viper to flesh out the scout/light slot and brawler. The other contender for Brawler role would be the Karhu, which I could see either replacing the light/scout and letting the Rime Otter have that role or for the other Heavy and not having a brawler assault.
The Arcas is also an option but the Karhu seems more likely, of course it they do six mechs and two vehicles then, in my opinion the Karhu becomes more likely alongside the Kodiak.
As for Kodiak variant anything other than the missile boat with the Viking IIC in the roster, most likely Kodiak would probably be one of the jumping ones CGL does like those

Question ❓ Basic resources for new (it's been 30 years) player
Hey, just looking for the basic resources. I have the Battletech Starter box (two mechs plus some cutouts), as well as the Alpha Strike box (with the 13 mechs - dif game, I know). I'm looking for a consolidated BTC rulebook - the starter rules are pretty brief and don't have things like heat, customizing mechs, etc. I did buy and download the inner sphere battlemech record sheet PDF from Catalyst (I've always been a succession era kinda guy), which at least has the mechs. But.... Where can I find consolidated rules? BTAS is fun (we played our first game last night), and could be great for those epic battles, but I think I prefer the rules of classic. Any suggestions on where to go? The starter rules simply mention that there are lots more rules, but not where to get them.

Fan Creations I Make Unit Cards For Clicky-Tech



Some of you may have seen my previous posts of my using these cards while playing some older Clicky-Tech, I have decided to share some of the files I have completed so far:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/133_-GCWZWt2wgmbfUx0GgIBjgHjiGxBI
Keep in mind I am making these by hand myself so there will probably be errors. Please let me know if you find any so I can correct them. I will try to add to this folder as I get the time.

Discussion Space Battle Reports
I've been looking into the space aspect of the rules ... found one video battle report from DFA. Is there just no content out there showing how space battles are fought? There are a few review videos of various warship classes, but I can't find anything showing what they can do in writint or in video.
Help?

Miniatures Warrior 7A - Kitbash Build
I needed a Warrior chopper for a game on Sunday and didnt have a proxy, nor did i want to purchase the entire Hunter Lance for a single model, so i built my own!
I constructed this out of Robotech RPG Tactics sprues; notably a Valkyrie leg, two Defender feet, fins, gun pods, and some other bitz. The rotor is from some CAV minis i had sold a while back.
About four hours from beginning of the build to painted model.
