If the video game is fair game…

I’ve been playing BEX, and I suck at it mostly. I always play Ironman, so that entails lots of restarts. I finally have a merc company that has lasted a bit. I’ve moved up to 2 and 2.5 skull missions.

Needed some money quickly and took a 1.5 skull mission. Comstar showed up, wiped my lance it was the last mission in my current system, I didn’t know what I was going to do to not go bankrupt.

Discovered I had Shadowhawk in cold storage sold it, started taking out my “starter” mechs on half-skull and one-skull missions, I’m starting to become a bit more financially solid again and may have survived afterall.

    Yeah, I don’t think the community here is big enough to separate HBS Battletech from the tabletop.

    Always remember that there is a potential 1.5 skull variance in mission ratings. A 1.5 skull rated mission might actually be a 3 skull mission. Pay attention to the mission payout as it has much less variance. If it seems like it’s too much for the rating, it’s a setup and going to be way harder.

      I never recovered and we went bankrupt shortly after.

      Have me an excuse to try out BTA. Got it installed and ran my first mission today. Gonna take some getting used to.
