Physical weapons hit on the general table, not the punch table.

Yeah... that is a rule my old TT group "house-modded" long ago. Clubs, usually are long and clumsy, and somewhat slow, so the basic table made sense. Hatchets are much more compact, and generally faster, and TBH, we always thought it kinda dumb that if a punch hit only upper body, that something as short as a Hatchetmans hatchet would have different rules. Swords, again being rather long, maybe.

*shrugs*

Since I can't think of the last time I found an "official" TT tournemant, I can't say I worry too much about it. (Last "official" crap was playing Dark Age, and that is an insult to Battletech, IMO).

I'm just a diffrent sort of nerd, lol. Am I reading it right, that you concede that realistically (especially considering the NON-Dragon Ball z refelx speed of Btech Mechs) that the sowrd would NOT penetrate? Or was I getting the result backwards about the bend/effects withthe Katana? (Not that it truly matters, since of course, this IS sci-fi, and it works (by whatever magic means) in canon, lol)


I kinda knew from the start it was futile but hey! Destruction testing is awesome :D

Now this is a post I can heartily endorse! It gives a nod to the canon, yet acknowledges the silliness of it (and a military beauracracy making a white elephant design is VERY BELIEVABLE! Just ask the number of soldiers chafing at the 5.56 and 9mm NATO standards to this day.. or the fiasco that is the Marine Corps OSPREY). And then the eventual solution (probably conjured up initially by a line level technician somewhere, sorta like the 6.8 SPC started life thanks to the initiative of Steve Holland (5th SFG (A)) and Cris Murray of the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit, and of course, the Wiki articles leave that out and makes it sound like it was a Remington initiative.

You forgot to mention the F-35B...

Anyway, what mech should I try redesigning next? I'm really tempted to try the Marauder...

If you feel the urge, go for it (*sticks nose in the air and assumes superior attitude* though you are already doomed to failure since mine is such perfection already! =P) BUt I would say, especially since I am not having much success with it, I would like to see you tackle the Thunderbolt.
