BattleTech, StarGrave, VoidFighter, Rogue Warriors (BattleTech28), wargaming. 2012 Nippon Golden Demon winner (40k squad, bronze). Hobby. Just hobby. Merucari store: https://jp.mercari.com/user/profile/141104057?utm_source=ios&utm_medium=share

Holiday wargaming shopping (I held off buying anything* for seven months!), from Defiance Industries on Etsy: Black Watch decal sheets to finish my 1/72 scale Marauder. (SirMortimerBombito) 3D prints: 2 Sabaku Kaze hover tanks for our Kurita forces. 2 Harrier hover tanks for our Stewart Dragoons…

This month at school it was back to our based-on-the-old-Ultramarines-game game. They had to download data that came in randomly to one of six terminals each turn, and get it back to their DZ. Ended up a draw but much fun was had.😄👍

Catalyst just released a #Battletech Activity book. I'm seeing a lot of posts about it on Tumblr. The book has a ton of my lineart illustrations; much more than I'm posting here. Always, strange to see work I've completely forgot about. "Ohhhh Yeah...I did do the new Lament lineart."

35 years ago, I played Battletech at a facility in Chicago. It was absolutely incredible: Proper first-person multiplayer mech combat using high-end networked PCs and played from inside enclosed pods. Difficult to articulate just how astonishing this experience was. Years ahead of its time.

柏バトルテック会より帰宅。 #battletech 今日は参加者が7人と少なめだったので一卓のみ。 攻撃側と防御側に分かれ、BV(戦力評価値)は揃えつつも、攻撃側は防御側の2倍の数を投入/防御側は若干腕がたつという条件のHold the Lineシナリオを遊ぶ。 自分は防御側でクロケットを投入。防御側は他にヴァイパー(ホワイトレイヴン)、コモド、ノヴァキャットM。 攻撃側はショーグン、オストスカウト、ハチェットマン5S、パンサー10K、センチュリオン、タナトス、グラスホッパー5J、シーザー。 両者、マップの中心部に寄りながら交戦開始。
