So we all know Battletech distances are measured in hexes. A hex is 30m across. I'd like to know how many hexes 30m is. That way I'll know how many hexes we have per hex. It's hexes the whole way down!

To the mad motherfucker who looked at a Ryoken B, with it's UAC20, six clan medium lasers, and terrifying mobility, and thought yes, this is the ideal mech for a 0/0 pilot, when sticking Kai in it at the Great Refusal. This wild bastard clearly was planning on killing god for fun. I salute you.

True stealth isn't ECM or stealth armour or Chameleon LPS, it's piloting a mech so utterly forgettable it vanishes from the minds of your opponent. Pic unrelated. See, you've already forgotten about it.

FROM: hr@newavalon.hpg.local TO: all-staff@newavalon.hpg.local When the Word of Blake split off, that left the Inner Sphere with two organisations that could claim to be "ComStar." HR wishes to advise that the correct plural is not "ComStars" but instead ComsStar."

Comstar tailors local comms to local conditions, but occasionally there's a bureaucratic slip up and you end up with a situation where local comms rely on carrier pigeons on a high-g world like Basalt. To this day communication speed there is capped by how fast pigeons can walk.

kallonmarketing@victoria.hpg.local kallonadmin@talon.hpg.local Upon review, the name 'Impregnator' for our new heavy mech has been rejected. Yes, I know we thought we could get away with it after 'Penetrator' but apparently there's a line the shareholders will not cross.

What I'm saying is yes, listen to the devil on your shoulder that wants you to hunt light mechs in your Victor 9Ka. Vibe check the bastards by throwing a high precision cinder block at them. They deserve it.

Light mechs are running against a clock when fucking with AC20 armed assault mechs. Sooner or later, even at TMM 3 or 4, you ARE going to get hit. You can accelerate this clock by loading precision into your AC20.
