Battletech - Beyond The Basics 3 vs 3 Ep. 4
4With the basics of Battletech and introductory tactics out of the way, we can now shift our focus to more intermediate level considerations when commanding Mechs on the Battlefield.
For this iteration of our critically acclaimed Battletech series we'll go through a 3 vs 3 matchup with light mechs (i.e. under 35 tons), using only Introductory Level techbase (or 3025 to you oldtimers) to show that speed can sometimes be better than armor - at least unless your opponent is disgustingly lucky.
Please note that for the sake of brevity, Stephan explains most of the rules from memory, so if something is not 100% correct, please don't crucify us. When in doubt, please check the current rulebook + errata to make sure. This is intended to serve as a starting point, not the be all end all of Battletech rules discussions.
Battletech is an iconic boardgame / wargame that has been around for over 30 years with multiple videogame adaptations and a rich backstory full of big stompy robots beating the crap out of each other.
As it so happens, Stephan has played for several years on the German tournament scene (even though those days are long gone), while Steve has never played the game, but a keen interest in doing so.
