Updated the Abilities.

BTW, as I don't know if it's possible to add a pool to an existing topic, let me ask you: should the game be called

MWO CARD/BOARD GAME
or
MWO CHESS
?

Ya know, there's already a "MechWarrior board game". It's called BattleTech.

This is not Battletech board game, it's Mechwarrior Online Card/Board Game.

Following your thought, the PGI guys shouldn't develop MWO because there are a lot of Mechwarrior video games out there (including LL).

First batch of tech level 2 mechs released! Check out that Atlas!

[Chunkymonkey]

I guess PGI doesnt have any lawyers.....or do they?

Awsome game though you should try looking around for the proper variant pictures like the Cat-K2

Sure (that´s what I was talking about, literally), but there are only a few variants done by now - people since to like much more to repaint their mechs. The few ones I remember are the Cat-K2, one Stalker (made by me), one Cicada (made by me) and one Cataphract (by Iron Hawk). I need to ask permission for the Cataphract (already got for the Cat).

[Odanan]

I know there are other modified mechs out there (once saw some modified Atlas and Centurions) but I will need help finding them.

I see two issues

1. The Battletech card game created by FASA

2. A computer program called Megamek.


It looks cool but I think your look at some cease orders being issued.

Thanks

[Scytale]

This looks really awesome. Well done!

This is not based on the extinct Battletech CCG. It´s based on MWO.

MegaMek? Really? I guess MWLL will fire me too.

In fact, if MWLL and MegaMek were not prosecuted and shut down, it´s unlikely I will be.

Good work, although this would work better with a heroscape board than a chessboard

It would be a simplified Battletech TT.

But the thing I like in the chess board is that it is a limited and controlable environment - the game becomes all about planing before battle and not just reaction-to-events.

Sexy.

[PANZERBUNNY]

Make sure to make unique dev piloted mechs so we can blast them.

[Odanan]

I´m starting to edit the image of the mechs to reflect the real variants. It´s a hard work so give me some time...

You mean canonical unique mechs, like Yen-Lo-Wang? Interesting! Yes... I could add those... in fact, when the game is finished, I could even add some badass custom players´ variants, like Stalker Odanan.

[Khanahar]

Totally awesome. Definitely printing off. Good work!

Two comments:
Armor values seem really low... a lot of lights and mediums will be easily destroyed by single attacks from larger enemy 'mechs. I'd consider doubling or something to take into account the miss/inefficient damage inherent to BT or MW.

Also, not sure I get why attacking diagonal is disallowed. Of course, ranges shouldn't be boxes as diagonal shots would reach unfairly far. But some moderate accommodation could be reached like having range calculated as sum of tiles up/down and tiles right/left. The resulting range profiles would look like:

Short:
OXO
XMX
OXO

Medium:
OOXOO
OXXXO
XXMXX
OXXXO
OOXOO

Long:
OOOXOOO
OOXXXOO
OXXXXXO
XXXMXXX
OXXXXXO
OOXXXOO
OOOXOOO

Odanan, great job as always. Do not hesitate if want to inlude the UrbanMech in your game using my design. If so, you may want to review your cost scale a bit so that the Urbie is the only one costing 1 point.

Also, it would be great to evolve the game so as to introduce some of the repainted concept art in it within factions, etc.

I can increase the costs of all in 1 or Urbanmech can cost 0. ;P

I was planning to make 1 paper mini for each mech in each faction. Yes, I would be using repaints. And now that you said I can use yours, well, you just saved me 2 months of work. >

Hmmmm.... I will consider this...

I'm just afraid it can complicate the game a little.

[Odanan]

Updated the rules, added more mechs (including Urbanmech!).

and... this is an "unofficial" MWO Card/Board Game mech card, a Stalker done with the MWO hardpoint rules. It´s a mech I want to try in MWO (it is deadly in TT):



4 LRM-15 with Artemis IV and 6 tons of ammo
6 Medium Lasers
15.5 tons of armor
Guardian ECM Suite
CASE in both torsos
12 Double Heat Sinks
XL 255 Engine

EDIT: fixed stats.
