… – The Game

" This was one of our biggest BattleTech games. The Battle Value of each force was around 23,000 points, which may not mean much to most readers because I'm pretty sure they've changed the battle value system once, possibly twice since then. My opponent liked his heavy and assault 'mechs, and squeezed a lot into his force! I was fielding a garrison force, although they were old or less popular mechwarriors, they were equipped with heavy and assault 'mechs, albeit over half were second-line machines. This was also my chance to try out some ProtoMechs. I know that ProtoMechs have tended to get a lot of bad press, but I think they can work well in some situations. They are certainly a very useful distraction when you use them against an unprepared enemy who hasn't previously encountered them, disrupting their plans as they try to deal with the unexpected threat. Apologies for the unpainted models, I only had 20 or so Inner Sphere and Clan 'Mechs painted at this time and none of them actually made it into this game! Scenery is a mixture of GW Space Marine game buildings, deodorant can cap "fuel tanks", cheap coniferous trees (10p each), cardboard roads, a few resin and plaster cast buildings. Enough waffle, on to the battle…"

I love Protomechs. CGL Battletech is hot trash but the FASA material is still just as good as the day we picked it up.
