wargame_insomniac,
I'm glad the links helped you out.
You know..
If you got into the battletech universe because of Mechwarrior why not play CBT rules in the Dark age time line. ?Maby of the mechs you described would not exists in the 3025 timeline. ?
The design rules allow you to make your own mechs and Irinwind metals are releasing more and more of the dark age mechs, vehicles, and battlearmor in the CBT scale (~6mm or ~ 1/285)
How is that for a thought?
Then you can play the factions you already enjoy. ?
I would also recommned.
Battle Corpt - CBT fictionCBT official WebsiteGood luck
I have already got those saved to my favourites. I have also found a couple of lists for Davion force lists CBT from forums as per the 3025 TRO and 3039 TRO. I have realised that Arbalest and Jupiter are nt likely to be included in Davion force-those will have to be deferred until a future Merc force.
As for most of the rest I have found out that they are mainly Unseens. The good news is that the Unseen's are included in new TRO 3039.
As TRO 3039 is the new list designed to work with new starter rules I will stick with that one. From what I can gather it is mainly the 3025/3026 lists with only a few added variants. It is before the Clan reappearance so before all of new tech in the TRO 3050 book.
I have e-mailed the UK supplier to see if he has TRO 3039 in stokc. If so then I plan to order it, the Intro Rules and the Davion/Kuita starter scenario book, plus a couple of lance box sets. I have worked out a few extra light mechs to add in my second future order to reduce my initial bias to assault/heavy mechs.
Doing that will mean that I will be playing with the vast majority of mechs that I am familiar with from MWDA plus a couple of new ones such as Valkyrie. I am looking forward to being able to field Battlemaster, Griffin, Longbow, Marauder II, Phoenixhawk, Rifleman, Thunderbolt, & Warhammer IIc from Unseen list plus also Templar & Zeus.
In fact many of those mechs appeared in 2 or more of my MWDA forces so I guess firstly that Wizkids were reasonably realistic and accurate in what they gave the MWDA factions and that secondly I am fairly consistent in what I look for in a mech!!
I will probably be trading/swapping away the plastic mechs from intro box set or keep them in case fellow club members want to play withoujt having to buy figures.
Cheers
James
?I'm going to have to go with the "evil" Sword of Light Regt and the menacing all-red look for my Kurita force...
