Fixed the mechs cards. Now they are printer friendly.

Next step: faction cards.

Updated the JagerMech JM6-DD with a new image (edited Ironhawk´s Wolf Dragoons JM) and Catapult CPLT-C4 (also and edited IH art).

Just so you know, there is already a BT card game including clan cards etc. I don't remember who put it out right now, but I have 5 or 6 decks.

I recieved a case of cards for my birthday some years ago.

It was published by Wizards of the Coast in the late 90s. I am a huge fan, and I think I have 11 decks built right now.

I really think this Thread should be a Sticky some where, maybe here or in the Fan section ?

Rules completed and cleaned up. Faction cards added!

(Do I add a Mercenary faction card? What would be the special ability of this faction?)

(I didn't add mechs of choice for the Rasalhage... should I change this?)

[Noaceik]

What you can do for the merc faction card is they can pay half the cost of a unit they destroyed, and then next turn they can use that unit as one of there own, but it will have half armor rounded down. Considering mercs are all about salvage rights that would make sense.
When it comes to base mechs for Rasalhague, and mercs they can use any factions mechs, but at +1 cost.

Now for your personal stalker mech I think you should make the damage 5/5/3. The reason is because a LRM15 does 9 damage on average in TT, but with artemis it does 12 damage on average same as a lrm20. I would round up the 48 average damage to 50. Then you could divide by 10 like you have been basicly doing.

[Odanan]

There is one more faction to be added...



Now please help me finding the holes in the rules. Is there something not well explained? Did someone tried the game?

The problem is: you only buy mechs in the start of the game.

Maybe something like this: when they destroy an enemy mech, they can replace their most expensive mech in game for that one. But we need to analyze the balance of this.

I'm also trying to find an ability for the Periphery....

PLEASE let devs use this as like a small sidegame you can play on MWO to pass the time xD

[Stalvos]

You should post this game on BGG.

[Bongo TauKat]

I seem to be having a flashback to that horrible Pokemech, er, Dark Age. It sounds good, but I still shudder from them making a Kodiak with an CUAC20 and one CERLL an sniper. Add into that people who were dropping MBTs out of a troop transport....ARRRGGHHH!!!

*pant* pant*

But a card game would hopefully be better from the looks of it.

Nice! I will adapt some of these suggestions to the game.

But how could a mech have ECM 2?

Well for ECM you would probably have to modify it to only be able to be used on a single source, but it would be something like "if a player has at least one mech in game with ECM, once per turn he can ignore X Damage received by one of his mechs from a single source during that turn, where X is equal to the highest value of ECM among mechs that player controls. This ability is not cumulative if the player has more than one mech with ECM in game."

It would represent a dedicated anti-missile mech. I mean think about it, if that catapult with indirect 3 shoots at you and you have an advanced anti-missile capabilities on your team, why should it be able to stop only 1 of the missiles?

[Odanan]

I'm adding two more faction cards:

MERCENARY - ability: Salvage Rights. Once in the match you can replace your most expensive mech by one of the opponent you had just destroyed.

PERIPHERY - ability: Uncivilized. You start with 10% less resources but your base can't be conquered.

Sure!! (heck, I could even make this game online for them)

I like the periphery thought... changes the dynamic and even though they're poorer, harder to supress.
