As an aside, I've found dropping new players into CBT is usually too much, but starting them on Alpha Strike and then moving to CBT works much better

Cursed typos 😆

Tempest Rising is a great CnC inspired RTS that gets the feel of the old games with the QOL evolution of new RRA games. Highly recommend

My wife, who loves romance books and has at least a passing interest in stompy robots, said it wasn't bad and thinks this may be a way to get more women into the glory of stompy robots

Are you thinking a color wash or an ink wash?

It's a great productivity tool, but it's not a replacement for people.

If that doesn't work or isn't viable (which is perfectly fine), a King Crab standing triumphantly with smoking cannons saying "Bug squished".
Feel free to DM me if we need to discuss further :-)

I've not done one of these before, so let me know if I'm doing it wrong.
If you're willing, a quick sketch of a King Crab blowing a Locust through the CT with an AC/20 round. Since that's two mechs and additional work, I'm more than happy to pay for the extra.

I would say King Crab, Stalker, and Emperor have had some of the best glow ups

I'll give it to Twitter, though. Their data export comes with an html page you can use to browse your old content instead of just a straight dump

Was Rooster the same character from MC1?

- Stealth missions are interesting, but ultimately can be fast-forwarded to the escape sequence if not designed correctly. I did not design it correctly and will need to iterate
- Escaping from a horde looks really cool and adds a lot of tension
- J. Edgars are nasty little flankers

- Using a custom ECM field made for some interesting tactical decisions (any friendly within 3 hexes of the Raven gets a +1 to their TMM), especially when the players had to decide if they wanted to split up or not (they didn't)

- Originally the scenario called for 3 Skill 3 player mechs and 12 Urbies. I upped the player mechs to 4 and gave the Urbies a HBK-4G, Hunchback IIC, UM-R69, and RFL-7N in place of 4 Urbies, which made the scenario noticeably harder
