Battletech Alpha Strike 

Hi all

In continuation to my previous post on Battletech we had a go at Alpha strike last week.

It was a small game about 150 points per side.

We used the hex maps as it was our first game and wanted to make it as easy as possible with the measurements and LOS.

We both had about equal forces 2 mechs, 1 tank, 3 infantry each.

The battle was fast and fierce.

We both made mistakes the most important of which was that the mechs get blown away much faster than in classic battletech (I lost a Dervish in 1 round of shooting).

I love calcic battletech but alpha strike will give us the opportunity to put lots of staff on the table.

We will be continuing our test in both classic and alpha strike.

Battletech

 

Hi All

I have had battletech for almost 7 years but have not played very much of it.

So a few weeks ago a friend had a game at the club and I was fascinated by it.

So I went to the basement got out the boxes and have had a few games since.

I have both classic battletech and Alpha strike (got alpha strike last week) here are some photos of the games.

More to come.

ADLG 2 games

Hi all

Had 2 games of ADLG this weekend i am trying out lists for a tournament that is coming up in a few weeks (1000 bc to 500 AD).

first I tried my Greko-indian (46) list with Indian ally.

my opponent opted for Romans and had Triumvirate (82) with Armenian ally

The game started with me forming a line of death stars (elephant with mix units at each side) and the phalanx on the end my opponent had his legionary opposite with some MF on the end of his line while the Armenians tried to take my flank which was protected by MF bow mediocre Mcav mediocre and some LH.

I charged in since I could not stop the Armenians and we slugged it out the elephant generals giving me the win.

Second up was my classical Indians which were up against Hannibal in Italy (7 elephant death stars in total).

As i had more groups and more elephants and better elephants (Elite vs Mediocre) my opponent was defensive, he held a gentele hill in the midle of the battleground and tryed to pressure me on the sides.

Little did he know that my levy, Mf bow mediocre, Mcav mediocre were all veterans of previous battles.

I stayed at firing range and let loose (20 units with range attack out of 26 in the army).

After a few volleys I charged on the hill (in retrospect that was not a good idea).

In the end both of our armies broke on the same round.
