Battletech - Random Mech Games

 Hello Folks, 

Time for another battle report, this week it's battketech time. Order of battlevthis time was to buy a pair of random mech salvage boxes, paint em up, and play a game!

Basically saw these at Fandom and thought it would be a good laugh.

Random box of mysteries, how lucky will I be.

Warhammer and Executioner, 2 clan assault mechs, so quite lucly!

Opposing forces not as lucky, with rifleman and nova. Nove i quot like, but its not an assault mech!

We decided to use a solaris games fame table fir victory and make it a gladiatorial duel. Basically you get fame for doing big damage, crits, blowing stuff up. But can loose ot for killing smaller mechs then you  running away  stuff the crowd doesn't like.

Windy small river with some building and s bit of trees. Enter the combatants, team yellow vs team gold.

Few turn advancing to contact, team yellow ducking around the water factory.

And the blasting begins, executioner jumps over and light up rifleman, while my warhammer takes on a hiding nova.

Things develop very fast, on the second or third round of firing, rifleman gets a torso crit, and hits my MG ammo! No more executioner. But he goes down fighting, destroying one side of rifleman torso leaving him crippled.

Seems there's advantages to not using all your luck on the mech draws!

Crippled rifleman limps away while n9va and warhammer pound it out. Warhammer is able to keep up just enough distance to prevent nova from trying a dwsth from above or getting behind.

We end up trading shots at medium range, but all the lasers from nova are spreading out the damage, while warhammer gets solid ppc hits.

In the end nova tries a last ditch alpha strike, but can't quit do it, and ends up with a destroyed center torso.

Fame points end up very even, I got allot for doing big hits of damage, and blasting internal for crits. So a few points a turn, meanwhile the evil Goldens get good points for killing a bigger guy and some crits. I think it's like 8-9 on fame? 

Decided to call that a draw, maybe that's a bit of a win for the disadvantaged force, up to the crowd to decide that?

In the end rando mechs was allot of fun, will have to do again!

Thanks;

Mike
