signal9<p>Continued WIP, a Kodiak in canon colors, Raven Alliance Delta Garrison Galaxy. Fuzzy in the background, a Timberwolf and Hunchback IIC queued up for the same treatment.</p><p><a href="https://masto.hackers.town/tags/battletech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>battletech</span></a> <a href="https://masto.hackers.town/tags/ravenalliance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ravenalliance</span></a> <a href="https://masto.hackers.town/tags/miniaturepainting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>miniaturepainting</span></a></p>

Played it a decent amount as a teen but lost my people to play it with when I went to college. Played it again last year at GenCon and found that I had forgotten what an absolute *slog* it is if you don't have all the tables memorized. 2 players, each with a light 'Mech, and it took us over 45 minutes for him to kill me in the 3rd round. It made me want a faster to-hit/hit location/damage resolution mechanic.</p>
signal9<p>The Raven Alliance is seeing a significant expansion in force.</p><p>Adding hover tanks to the Gamma Galaxy, engaged in an invasion in Kurita territory. Prefer scheming and subterfuge, but force is necessary.</p><p>Aerospace units added to Gamma Galaxy, mostly these are for the 5th Alliance Raven Wing.</p><p>Next to be completed is a second-line star for Delta Garrison Galaxy.</p><p>War are added for interstellar engagements. Looking for that multi-layered campaign!</p><p><a href="https://masto.hackers.town/tags/battletech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>battletech</span></a> <a href="https://masto.hackers.town/tags/ravenalliance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ravenalliance</span></a> <a href="https://masto.hackers.town/tags/wargaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wargaming</span></a></p>

NinjaDebugger<p>Having been laid off, I'm looking at selling things off, and to avoid shipping, my local battletech peeps get first shot, but I'd like to avoid ebay if I can, so I'm thinking of putting up stuff for sale here and on SomethingAwful's SA-Mart, of stuff I'm not likely to use myself.</p><p>I'm also open to taking painting commissions, but I doubt I'm good enough for anybody to bother.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.sandwich.net/tags/Battletech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Battletech</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sandwich.net/tags/AlphaStrike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AlphaStrike</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sandwich.net/tags/paintingMinis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>paintingMinis</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sandwich.net/tags/miniatures" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>miniatures</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sandwich.net/tags/painting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>painting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sandwich.net/tags/paintingMiniatures" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>paintingMiniatures</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sandwich.net/tags/miniaturePainting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>miniaturePainting</span></a></p>
