TuppyHow dare people have differing opinions in the #Battletech community. We should all be united in our following of Word of Blake, and our shared pursuit to found a star league that is for all of humanity, not the selfish lords of renegade nations, or the demons from beyond the periphery.

Scott's Game RoomOff to Southern Assault
This weekend I’ll be heading to Clemmons, North Carolina for Southern Assault 2025. I’ll be playing in the Alpha Strike tournament, but due to a work trip, I won’t be able to stick around for Monday’s BattleTech tournament.
When I first started thinking about my list for the tournament, I had an idea for a theme: MechCommander. It is one of my favorite computer game representations of BattleTech, and I played it a ton back when it came out. Once the idea of theming my list around the game, I knew I’d go with it even though picking Clan Invasion as my era really limited my selection of variants to pick from.
I’m taking every Inner Sphere ‘Mech from the game except a Hollander since that one isn’t available in plastic. In its place, I used my salvage pick to take a Smoke Jaguar Mad Cat. It was a fitting choice both for its role in the intro cinematic and because I’d always try to salvage the one that shows up to terrify you in the game’s third mission. I think my list overall ended up in an okay place given the constraints I put on it. The biggest thing that I worry about is that it doesn’t have any particularly fast units for racing to objectives. I think it’ll do well enough to be fun to play though.
375 points of Fed Com forces ready to liberate Port Arthur (Mad Cat already has been liberated)I also decided to have some fun with the printed copies of my list and I customized the cards to match my theme. I gave each of the ‘Mechs a MechWarrior callsign and a little quote. Those are all pulled from either the game’s cinematics or in-game dialog when units are issued commands.
If you’re going to be at Southern Assault this weekend, say hi. I’m always happy to meet folks, and I’ll have Scott’s Game Room dice to hand out while I’m there.
And finally, whether or not you’ll be at the event, you can still give money to the Crab-Back 2025 charity game. This annual Southern Assault tradition sees Crabs and Hunchbacks facing off to determine which is the superior design. The game raises money for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals, and you can donate to support either the Crabs or the Hunchbacks (or both). No matter which ‘Mech ends up the victor, the kids win.

Due to mutual poor planing each side has only one dropship to shuttle mechs between a planet and multiple moons. But then the clanner captain decided to glory-or-death the sphereoid dropship #battletech
argv minus oneOn a positive note, I salvaged a Nova, prime configuration. Its armament is simple: 12 ER medium lasers.
Despite its bad reputation https://www.sarna.net/news/bad-mechs-nova/ it's actually quite impressive in #MechWarrior 5. As long as your aim is good, you can down most 'Mechs in one shot, and down almost any 'Mech in two. And you can fire twice before overheating.
Just try not to get hit. 50-ton 'Mechs don't have a lot of armor.
It would also be wise to swap the jump jets for more heat sinks.
Bad ‘Mechs – Nova | Sarna.net
They scoffed at cadet Rual when he’d requested a Nova for his Trial of Position. An older machine with a long history, Rual’s sibkin ridiculed his choice as one outclassed by most of the new OmniMechs that had joined Clan Nova Cats’ touman in recent years. The Huntsman was just as rugged and possessed a
As if the Elementals weren't scary enough, I ran into a Puma with 16 machine guns.
One machine gun will do basically nothing to a BattleMech, but against 16 of them, 'Mech armor will last only slightly longer than tissue paper.
Encountered a full Star of 25 Elementals in #MechWarrior 5.
They were every bit as overwhelming as I feared such a large swarm of them would be.
Although they cannot attach themselves to my 'Mech like they can in the tabletop game, they are a lot tougher than tabletop, able to sometimes survive an LB 10-X shot at point blank…if you're lucky enough not to miss.
Ended up aborting the mission. One of my few comprehensive defeats in this game.
