Fritz’s Tabletop: Battletech Mech Analysis
Welcome to the Inner Sphere. This week we talk medium mechs, damage output and if hex games are really better.
It is the 31st Century, and Mankind is once again at war. Battlefields are dominated by huge robotic war machines – Battlemechs.
Not all mechs are built equal, sometimes you ride into battle with the lance you want, other times you fight with what you have. Either way command demands success! In this weeks tabletop post we are going to look at some tactical points for each mech class, and analyze the difference in hex maps vs. a traditional wargaming table in the game.
