GeekNights Tuesday - Battletech (2018)

I should get my box today. I’ve never touched painting before, but slightly considering it now.

Fuck.

Minis.

My one weakness.

Hmm…

Could we play Battletech in TTS?

-expanding brain meme-

Or in VR CHAT?

Or in Megamek? Or in, you know, Battletech?

TTS lets me do the things that aren’t fully codified in those systems.

Like eject from my mech after setting it to self-destruct, jump into a jeep, and try to ram you.

How much did you spend on that Jeep? I don’t think it’s going to hurt even a mech with no armor on its leg.

1000 Jeeps. Let’s roll.

1000 small lasers. One per Jeep. RIP.

Dude, there are tons of Battletech models in TTS. This is eminently doable.

I think you have to make a piloting check for each one that makes it through.

I don’t remember off-hand.

Are you confident you’ll make all those checks?

2.8% chance to roll a 12. One of those jeeps is going to jump off a ramp and smack the mech right in the cockpit.

If I learned anything from playing Battletech, a 2.8% chance of something crazy happening is, adjusted for BATTLETECH, actually a 104% chance.

It’s like wind chill.

Unless those jeeps are driving off a cliff, they’re just going to be driving into the 'Mech’s legs. At .1 tons it’s going to take a lot of people driving a lot of Jeeps to the point where it’s more efficient to just scale the mech with a welding torch.
