I was looking for #BattleTech upcoming mini products and got irritated how hidden that is. I'm pinning this and will try to keep it updated.

From Sarna/ whatever online. I don't sit through the CGL newscast because I don't have the time to wade through long form content.

@M4_RECCE Dropships for days really. The majority are not Mech carriers; a lot of them haul vehicles and cargo around, so you don’t see much of those. However, since galatic logistics are bottlenecked by jumpship collars, these actually are one reason why Mechs are so important.

[Lynx @limjyue]

Yeah sure, Lore-wise it's definitely not our beloved Inner Sphere backstabbery, the Mech-on-Mech is going to be the similar, with the added bonus of Abominations. Gotta take a closer look at those rules..

[Lynx @limjyue]

Here's a cheerful #battletech thought. With the new Core products out and the implicit move towards the ilClan era, there is still one product that is _techincally_ 3025 tech.

Gothic.

[Lynx @limjyue]

Overall, the iconic Marauder has the look of an efficient war machine and to some extent it is. There are weak points which a savvy player can exploit, but the design is solid and only the AC5 is somewhat lacking. It's a design you want on your team.

[Lynx @limjyue]

Huh. #BattleTech rolls are down to 20 and the D20 lands precisely at the last Mech. Marauder it is then. A plank-owner Iconic design from Macross, and actually its lineage continues into the Clan era with the "Mad" part of Mad Cat. Very well known.

I personally had an experience where my 3R Marauder was pressurizing a Battlemaster successfully, only to have the Beemer to breach my LT and set off the ammo. Ah the shifting fortunes of the BattleTech battlefield...

@Rs3085 The issue I have with Lorescape's offering is that they don't appear to be compatible with Heroscape tiles - smaller and different connectivity. For people with a collection of Heroscape tiles for Battletech, it'd require a reinvestment. Maybe for roads and rivers.

マスターユニットリスト、終了。新サイトに移行予定との事。
やはりそうでしたか。今までお世話になりました。

@Rs3085 ... thanks.

.... and we're learning about this, for a critical game resource, through non-official third parties? sheesh.

[Lynx @limjyue]

To be honest, not unreasonable. I'd prefer more of course, but it does seem Mech minis basically ran its course and now we are moving into aero and alt/ remastered sculpts more. Naturally, the number of packs would reduce.

Not happy about how I had to hunt up this info...

[Lynx @limjyue]

Overall, #battletech for 2026/ 27 looks to be:

1. Oct 26: Core + C-Beemer
2. Nov 26: 2xAero Packs, 2x Dropships, Snowblind
3. Q2 27: Clan Battle Star
4. Guess: H1 27: Abomination, Caballero, maybe another ACES.
5. Guess: H2 27: Fox Patrol, maybe Hep Box, another Aero?
