This is the only warning: I'm into a variety of games and writing. I post weird stuff here as an amateur, mature stuff elsewhere. BattleTech, tabletop roleplaying, Pokémon, and similar hobbies are fair game to be represented/discussed here.

In Alpha Strike, they're just as fragile but they are horrible (but slightly expensive) skirmishers. They have "Jump Strong", making them have a +5 to be hit while jumping and only a +2 to hit its targets.

Currently working through editing photos up and getting my report all cleaned up. Taking less time than I expected, but now... on to "how much damage do I need to pay to repair?", which is only slightly more important than "what's salvage?"

A little peek at "how it was going" this morning when my brother and I picked up our campaign scenario...
That Zeus has already lost its large laser, and that SRM Carrier is too far to hit well. I'm sure everything will be fine. It's fine. It's *fine*.

Well, how could you not?
For others: read @michaelastackpole.bsky.social 's Kell Hounds Ascendant, the brothers Kell are a fun ride while they set themselves up. And the stories don't require you to know that much before you get started.

Now, several players use one of these Jucoci boxes, it's just that moving it around is a little unwieldy... and I only plan on taking SMALL forces. (The local club really tops at like 10k force sizes and a maximum of 8-12 units.) Also, expensive and required me to magnetize bases.

Once I *did* start, figuring out a scaleable solution became an issue. Up until now I was using the "ArtBin 6857AG Large Anti-Tarnish Box" as a cornerstone of my storage. I grew up using similar for 'bits' with my mom... the style has changed in the last 10 years, and they're harder to get now.

In the waiting room, so it's time to grab from The Stack of Novels. Not a paperback, the last one got a crease in the cover from being tossed in my bag as I walked...
Ah. That narrows it down. Long overdue, too.

I would only really watch them with my brother-
I lied, I take that back, local TV would occasionally run "creature features" after SatAM cartoons and before football. I got to see so many films of 'questionable quality' but pfft, I was twelve.
Genuinely weird stuff.

Oh... well if that's the way it goes, I guess I need to write a strongly worded letter.
And maybe nail it to a door.

For the "wetlands" scenario, which was a different contract, he had a choice of doing a straight-up fight against 120% of whatever he brought or a Strike mission between two targets. One was urban, the other in the wetlands. He didn't want to do urban fighting so he asked about the wetlands. I sent:

Once he shows interest in a particular card, I pull up another document and read off the description of the contract. I added a small bit where the executive officer can chime in about whether the job "feels good" or can go "I don't like this, boss". Finally, I list what scenario types will be used.
