Gonna marathon through all the battle reports, hands down this is the most interesting setup for a battle I’ve seen. First off, I LOVE the map and explanations for how the battle happened. The Jefe mercs and their speedy redeployments pulling the enemy lances out of position was inspirational, as well as the trap they sprung at Emeraldstone. Just- kudos. That makes what would be a pretty generic battle report into a super interesting setup, as its a big risk for the mercs but a huge payoff. Fantastic. 10/10 just off the first few minutes of the video.

Question/comment on initiative and unequal number of units. In turn 4 the Yellow team has 2 "units" to move, vs the Red team's 1 "unit" (a unit being a Lance in this instance). Yellow should have moved both units before Red moved any, since Red won initiative. Are you also house-ruling how initiative and unequal number of units work?

Fantastic battle report ! How do you manage the campaign movement and strategic actions ? There is nothing about that in chaos campaign rules
@WargamerStories
6 ай бұрын
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed the video! We are using our in-house system for controlling strategic actions. As for war chest points, battle scenarios, rewards, cost of deployment, and the combat rules: we use a combination of BattleTech: Alpha Strike and Chaos Campaign Rules. Chaos Campaign has some rules for larger campaign movements, but it felt more at home for a mercenary unit bouncing around planet-to-planet looking for missions. Which, coincidentally, was the original plan for my players and I to play... but it slowly evolved into a single-planet war. So, we started using our own ruleset that we had originally developed for a medieval fantasy wargame because we were more familiar with it. To be honest, we were surprised that the audience was interested in our campaign system to organize our battles. If you are interested in our system, there is a video that explains are campaign rules called Road to War: Blue Hole.

Maybe not a video, but I'll tell you where we got the buildings. Etsy has a huge selection of epic scale or 6mm scale buildings.

If you have a 3D printer or access to one (our local library has one that we use occasionally), myminifactory.com has some nice STLs you can purchase for 6-10mm scale buildings and terrain.

Very nice report. Are you using house rules for heat? Commanders edition says heats adds plus 1 to weapon attack target number rather than reducing attack dice.
@WargamerStories
Жыл бұрын
Yep, we were! Good Catch! For larger games (company sized forces+), we go back to the original rules outlined in BattleTech Alpha Strike for shooting and heat. It is much faster and way deadlier. For smaller games (just a handful of mechs) like this one, the players prefer the "House Rules" for shooting because they like the feel of rolling a lot of dice. One way to make the player "feel-the-heat" is to reduce the number of dice instead of inflating their Target Number. Thanks for clarifying it for new players :)

You want both sides to have even chance and plausible war game? The way we did it, we sat at a table- and in a very MechWarrior Destiny style RPG fashion went around the table slowly crafting "why" both sides are interested in this planet and what they did to slowly went from diplomacy to threats of war to actually a war. Limit the size of army groups based on what you can manage in terms of number of mechs, etc. I limit both sides to two companies as maximum amount of forces in a battle. More than that is too taxing on their current command and control elements.

Awesome battle report. Looking forward to more! I was curious on the initiative house rule. Since moving is such an important part of the game would you want the person who wins initiative to go last or give them the most info on movement since they won? With alternating it just seems whoever brings more to the field gets a better look with their priority lance no matter what. Either way great job.
@WargamerStories

Yep, initiative is important. In a few battles you will see the players move units with less priority in order to wait and see what their opponent will do with a particular lance or what not. I am glad you are enjoying the battle reports!
