BattleTech Force Construction Guidelines (Force Manual Series)

 Hey Folks, we’re back with some helpful insight and advice for folks who are sitting down to build their very own force for BattleTech or Alpha Strike.  The new Force Manual series is an amazing resource for this.  However, it’s BattleTech, (Baybee) and that means its a multi-step process with worksheets and charts.  Let’s try and see if we can smooth out some of those steps to make this process work for you, whether you’re a first time unit builder or a seasoned vet.

Opinion: Legendary Mechwarriors

 Hey folks, today we’re going a little differently, and instead of reviewing a product from CGL, I'd like to share one of my opinions.  This isn’t going to be as long as my usual product reviews, so kindly bear with.  Today I'm going to chat about Legendary Mechwarriors in the context of them showing up in regular lance and Star Packs.  The way Catalyst currently does this annoys me for a couple of reasons, which I'm about to dig in.  Grab a shovel, we might find some worms to take fishing later.

Force Manual: Davion Review

 Hey Folks, Good to see you all again, hope the midweek is treating you all well.  Catalyst has delivered the first of a new line, the Force Manual Series.  If you’re coming ot BattleTech from another war game, you’re familiar with your army book, or codex, or player’s guide for your faction.  The Force Manual is the BattleTech version of that book.  Force Manuals are a replacement for an older product (The Combat Manual, of which two were produced) and bring a lot of information to the player’s hands.  Let’s dive in and see what we see, all right?
