All this just to figure out how my toy soldiers move and fight, haha. Alpha Strike for missions. Strategic Battleforce to decide big battles and maneuver 30+ regiments of combined arms units. Just use regular Battletech maps w/the Battleforce tokens. 1 hex = 1 km 2×2 standard BT maps. #battletech

Rolled up t shirts and socks under the blanket for some Battletech Alpha Strike terrain. Yes the minis are wobbly on the steep inclines, I'll live with it. Progress interrupted by Lucifur who has claimed the river canyon. Still have a lot of work.

Ten rounds in- Steiner forces have lost Objective 1. The remaining battered defenders attempting to regroup at Objective 2 are cut off. Steiner's reserve heavy infantry deploy to defend the last objective. The 5th Marik Militia have suffered heavy casualties, 11 mechs. #alphastrike #battletech

Sunday night Alpha Strike mayhem. The battle rages...
The 5th Marik Militia bum-rush Objective 2 on the left flank of the 13th Donegal Guards while a smaller diversionary force keeps the Steiner troops on the right flank at Objective 1 pinned down. #alphastrike #battletech

Marik forces concentrate their forces to push through the 13th Donegal Guards right flank. There's 12 Marik mechs, plus tank support about to deploy on the board. Photo One Steiner left flank and Marik objective #1. Pic 2 A castled Longbow. Pic 3 Steiner right flank guarding objective 2

First time adding battle damage and wear. This took me over an hour to do because I'm old and paint s~l~o~w. Thankfully I didn't ruin it and discovered a better (for me) application method. Instead of a sponge? Tried a q-tip.

The 13th Donegal Guards must hold the line!!! This is my right flank. One Battlemaster 1D in reserve. The 5th Marik Militia is coming, in force with 2 Battlemech lances and a platoon of Vedette tanks. Good times.

Since the neighbors are still going ham with the Diwali fireworks I've been working on this lance of the Marik Militia. Works in progress.

This is why I prefer Alpha Strike to Classic BattleTech.
Six hours of gameplay in Alpha Strike simulates 2 minutes of combat...at least! 😜

I'm so close. I would guess I have another hour of painting to put in to finish. Then we can varnish, add decals, and do the base.

A Marik Heavy Recon Lance cautiously enters a battle ruined city unaware of the ambush they are walking into. House Steiner's 13th Donegal Guard waits for the enemy to stumble into the kill box.

You can always kit bash your own gun emplacements. Besides the price, the scale looks off to me. They look a little too big. Maybe it's just me.

Started a game of BattleTech Alpha Strike with my nephew.
Got 5 turns in. We plan to continue at a later date. I created a most excellent scenario for Scotty and I to battle out.
It was a glorious time!!!
